Ya woot for opec! terrastrife what happened man! Been waiting for your car to get back into once piece forever, and now you're telling me it's not better faster!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but are you the one that had the y-pipe installed, and didn't really gain any performance? (Aint talked to you in forever, so I get you confused with the other

now!)

Best run I ever got recorded 0-60 was 8.2 something before the work I just did. 9s 0-60 and high 16s 1/4 mile I think it pretty average with a daily driver Camry/ ES 300 with some extra gear for any of the 3.0L engines and any A/T on it.
I remember I couldn't pass 9.4 0-60 on the gtech bone stock the day I installed my original 10" Kicker L5's.

Basically. The Holden is even heavier than an ES 300 stock-stock. I think low-mid 9s 0-60 is going to be dead on stock. If you're still dead stock (don't count CAI or ineffective mods), or have any extra weight, you're right where you need to be.

yeah thats me with the y pipe.. this was my first recorded run with it

i WILL be getting it completed though (small diameter crossover b4 the collector and new cat.. im running stock cat) and im getting a c/f cannon for the bling

i can run a hi 8 0-60 on a cold night.. i drive (daily) no spare/jack (i dont have a spare so i took the jack out too), and clean everything (im talking the only thing in the glovebox is the handbook)

if it was a horsepower rating, id say i gained nothing in peak rating, but above 5700rpm it flows really nice. if you compare it with my older runs (its all on the same road) youll see that with teh stock exhaust past 5000rpm was getting useless but which the larger pipes the tacho doesnt slow down anymore

major improvements now that ive had it on the road a while:
-throttle response is much much much much much better
-i get ~100km more travel distance per fuel tank
