I'm not sure the exhaust and tune is going to help much over what you have. If anything, just buy the Megan mid-pipe and your set. Spend your money on clutch wheels and tires, that's where you need the help. Don't bother with a flywheel, it will hurt your 1/4 times and launch.
Basically Wheels, tires and clutch will get you to 13's and 105 easily. Whatever you do though, don't buy heavy rims. Spend the flywheel money on better, lightweight rims, they will make a much larger difference in acceleration than a flywheel. Also, don't bother with 245's, they will also be way too heavy. Try a good set of 225's on 17x8 rims. The tire compound and tread design is more important than the width. PM me if you want this weekend. I will be in Des Plaines at work and we can pop off my two front's and you can try them to see if it helps you hook up enough. They are 225/45/17 Re070's.

I think they priced it like that because they know they can. Other than them the only other track in in the south suburbs of Illinois and thats the Joliet Raceway.

Well..have you ran on Boost before? What times where you getting, I know you mentioned you had a boost leak, so what PSI level did it hold?

My boost was holding at about 5psi from my normal 7psi.
Hopefully with my new BOV itll fix the problem.
