Cut-Out ?!?

[96 T-Top Bird]

Do you lose Hp due to one?

I remember keith ran .2 quicker on open headers.

If i dropped on a cut-out, would my 1/4 mile times drop or improve?

If they would stay the same that would be fine for me, as long as they wouldnt drop.

I don't have any 'scientific proof'-just timeslips.

My car was quicker & faster w/the cutout open (this was on my '94 3.4L Camaro). Testing conditions were the same, 3 runs were made w/the cutout closed and the car was allowed to cool off before each run. The same process was repeated with the cutout open, and better times occurred as a result. On another trip to the track, I repeated the same process, and ran a new best (16.19) with the cutout open.

for NA runs, i think it's good. but maybe not so much as squeezin the juice

What were ur times at the track w/ the cutout open and closed. How much of a difference did it make?

U mentioned you ran ur best w/ it open, what were u runnin w/ it closed?

i always have before and after mods times.
before the cutout i was at 15.5 at 88 mph. after the cutout i was 15.5 @ 90 mph 3 times consistently. i had asked the same question and got different reponses. but after doing it i know i was 2 mph faster without any ET change.

I usually gained 1mph and a tenth or so, and my best time was w/the cutout open. I realize that 1mph and a tenth or so can be trivial to some, but to others, every little bit helps ;)

i didn't notice any change in speed in my car with the cutout open

makes a nice deep rumble below 2500 rpms and a nasty leaf blower rice above 3500 rpms but i'm used to it by now

sound clips on my site in the sig
