The 167 TB is worth an easy 50 according to Manny, and the auto trans is a lot more efficient than it used to be. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see your car making closer to 675 when he's done.

You're going to need some serious seat time before making that claim! And didn't I see where you weren't going to run the naws?

Not without some tire! What are you going to run at the track? I have a pair of 28x9 M&Hs on RaceStars that you're welcome to borrow.

Thanks man but it doesn't look like my car isn't going to get the final tune till next week.

Which is great for a track car taking a lot of driver error out of the equation.
