I would ignore all and keep digging till you get there. When 1/8th improve so do 1/4 times. Any car I have been involved in usually has a second hidden in it from the first pass. You are right reading MPH and HP. Might be advance but might not. Might be gearing , tire size (running out of RPM before the traps. Maybe not but i would never sit back and say ok. Like the Ragu Spagetti sauce ad says , "Its in there." All ya gotta do is find it.

Hello Dolmetsch, :) Decided to change exhaust front to back and it worked, we had this stuff in stock. Found over four tenths here. That :idea: was under the meat balls, love spahget. My 60' slowed to 2.2? The 1/8 stayed at 10.0? and the 1/4 now 15.8 @ 84.3mph the car a put on 50lbs so the gain is almost 1/2 of a second from before. :D What will we do next? 3380lbs with me in it!!

Exhaust can definitely help. I just picked up about 2 tenths on my Slantkota and 3-400 RPM on the shift points with a better exh system.
