They see it the ses light comes on. I say cut them off instead of guttin'em.
LSx based motors LOVE no backpressure. Hell, my buddies T/A, we ran it on the dyno, then took the cats off and ran it again and picked up 30whp.

Mustangs on the other hand HATE no backpressure. You run it open pipe and it falls on its face.

I get there and start running when the lanes open. It is not unusual for me to get 10 or more runs in before 9PM if I so desire. It does still get packed later in the night. Usually around 8PM I've had enough.

Get there when they open and you can get plenty of runs. Last time I was out, I was the first one down the track. Times trailed off slightly the rest of the night for me, so I was glad I went early.

So does that mean only fords can run or does that mean us chevy guys will just have an easier time finding fords to beat up on?
