Randeez 2012 Budget Yukon Denali Build (stick on hood scoops galore)

[iamdub]

could use racefuel but its more of an ET as driven on the street for me. ms109 per 5gal is like 80bux iirc...so spending 160bux just to make a couple passes isnt really worth it for me. do that a few times and i wouldve just paid for injectors. a lot of race fuels are oxygenated also, so you dont gain much going from e85 to them

I dig it. I like the TNT nights the best due to the abundance of street legal cars pulling double-duty as weekend racers.

Was going to leave it cause I want to redo it back into downpipe...but figured I would atleast lay a thick bead on it to keep it moving inn the mean time

some of my best lookin welds broke off, so im back to layin the nasties down

The bigger the blob, the better the job!

Wire speed too fast and/or too low of current. Aim for a higher-pitched, more crackling bacon sizzle.

He red lit
I spun a lot, straps not tight up front, track prep sucks

Demon was time slip from the right, cut slip so I don't know his times. my reaction time was .170, he leaves about a 1/2 second before me to give you an idea of how red he went. That car would out 60' me anyway but I usually catch and come around 1000' mark or so

started tinkering with cts-v.. researching some mods

pulled the air filter out - it looked like crap, really doubtful that was from me having it two weeks, looked like someone tried to wash it out but its paper. i may grab a cone filter system for it eventually but wanted to replace it asap. amazon has $90 afe dry filters for cheaper than acdelco/wix...so i grabbed 2 of them

swapping the supercharger lid, specifically from these on the cts-v, appears to be worth 20hp+. the lids are lower profile (less plenum volume) than the corvette lt4 lids. but there are also companies selling billet lids with a contoured flow. replacing the intercooler bricks in the sc seem to also help but seems money can be spent elsewhere for better return at stockish level.

pulled the hose for the PCV system back to the intake and there wasnt much oil residue but will prob still grab a catch can at some point

debating on whether or not i want to venture into another chiller mess...
