I will be installing both as soon as i can. I cant wait. Oh and alittle NVH never hurt.

lol It's more the violent shaking of the car from the lope of the BBR Stage 1 cams than the NVH that would come with adding them.

And I'm looking at rod end suspension pieces so I'm not too worried about additional NVH.

Alright, well over a year later and I update this. I took the nitrous off last summer after it not running right AT ALL and decided not to dump the money in getting it dyno tuned.

I went last night to Dallas Raceway to see how the 4.10's would do. I had not been to the track since May earlier this year when I still had the 3.55's and before that October last year, and I don't have those time slips with me. I was there from 7 pm to midnight.

I'm not sure if these numbers are good or not. The car seemed kind of slow in the trap? But other S197's with similar mods (less cams) were running around the same trap all night. There was an auto Mustang that some guys I met last summer had out. 3200 stall, aluminum d/s, C&L cai, suspension, tune, 4.10's, drag wheels front and rear running a drag radial running 12.8' all night.

Using the DragTimes app at the track last night the info was:
83F
29.87 inHg
62% relative humidity

~2300-2400 DA


I took the car down the track 12 times on Nitto 555 275/40/18 street tires (26.6"). Had them around ~34 psi for the first few passes and then dropped them to 28. Small burnout to get the junk off of them, bypassing the waterbox every time. And I don't powershift the car (honestly don't know how to, nor trust myself from wrecking a transmission). I let the car cool down with the hood up between the passes. Shift into 2nd would scratch the tires every time.

Almost every trap was between 99-100 mph, literally right between that.

The top three best passes are, in order of runs:

60 --- 2.088
330 --- 5.921
1/8 --- 9.048
MPH --- 79.05
1000 --- 11.713
1/4 --- 13.959
MPH --- 99.95


60 --- 2.094
330 --- 5.894
1/8 --- 9.013
MPH --- 79.25
1000 --- 11.675
1/4 --- 13.923
MPH --- 99.90


60 --- 1.986
330 --- 5.697
1/8 ---- 8.779
MPH --- 80.15
1000 --- 11.423
1/4 --- 13.659
MPH --- 100.40


Mods: BBR Stage 1 Cams, Steeda Billet CMDP's, JLT II CAI, SLP O/R X-pipe, 4.10's, and Bama Racing 93-octane tune.

Car weighs roughly 3900 lbs after adding up what's in the car compared to what it officially weighed last summer. Pretty strong crosswind last night, too.
