2.5" DP and mid? or 3". probably not far off if 2.5.

also you have to floor it at the top of 4th. 2/3rd won't creep much.

remove the stock y-pipe, and you should be up around 10, the stock y-pipe is really restrictive.

Im going to be getting a apex N1 single soon. And would it hurt to make a TID mod? Cause i dont want to be boosting to high. I also have a apex afc to help control the fuel.
