Yep, being serious. Now really, though...I'd go to the trouble to make a set of tails, but not do anything else? Every bolt on is 10x easier than making tails.

. I could detail out my heads and tails, but what's the point? When I had a system in my old car, I just listed it as a system...only listed components when asked. Just my nature...straightforward and to the point...only provide details when necessary.

^Meh, when are you going to step up and do what needs to be done? TL-S rear sidemarkers, a j-pipe, and a tune. All of these are readily available and cheap.

The blue beast and the black dragon both struggle to pull on my TL.
A wrx driver and a mustang driver both were curious in the last month as to what my TL is all about. They both learned through trial and error.
Until my TL fails to be victorious, no further modifications will be done.

However this also shows your immaturity as a owner of a boosted car. By not having your engine properly tuned you are running rich and allowing a lot of extra carbon build up in your engine that should not be there. This is adding stress to your engine. Heck skip the side markers, skip the jpipe, but for crying out loud get the thing properly tuned. You really should get an even higher boost pulley as well to take even more advantage of your large intercooler.
Just cause you can beat people on the street which you shouldn't be racing on in the first place that doesn't mean your car is functioning to its full potential even with the mods it does have. You tune is designed for stock exhaust, stock headers, and no intercooler. You have changed all of those so there is no possible way you are not loosing out.

Actually the TSX rebuild should be beginning in October now. Also don't you dare say to fix the TSX and then make requests. If you haven't figured it out I only do things one way and that is correct the first time and never cutting corners. You sir are cutting corners by not getting a proper tune.
So since you asked for someone to beat you I challenge you to run me in the F :devilgrin

Doesn't appear we can run at Zmax anymore this year which sucks but we can go every Thursday to the 1/8mile track in Mooresville.
