Yeah, and the colder mornings we have been having aren't helping traction either!

Heck...that was 5pm yesterday that I figured that out. LOL
She's a fun one!
I took my two daughters, 8&7, to dinner last night at Fridays...they like it when I get on it and when I did you could hear the blower whine then the tires scream anytime I rolled into the throttle. Oldest said, "daddy what was that's noise?". I replied, "horsepower."

Getting ready to get a set of headers to try. Gpi has a deal on some in stock kooks I will probably do unless I find used something's quicker. I'm not changing the 2.5" exhaust for the simple fact that it doesn't drone on the hwy.

We all know how you feel about headers with your setup, so I will be LOL

Headers made my car drone quite bad. It's a variable.

They don't cost any more than a non-VVT cam assuming you have an L99. A VVT cam just requires a tuner that knows how to tune for it.
