is 10.817 a good time for the 1/8th?

[Tyler17rose]

K8 with CAI and muffler. <p>Clutch slipps and i have a clogged cat, sub and socket set cordless drill amp and school books in the car.

Heh given the excuses.., <p>if your curious a good rule of thumb for figureing thigns out is multiply a 1/8th mile time by 1.55 to get what it would be in the 1/4... <p>Yeah that would seem really fast for a clogged cat.. must not be very clogged

[Tyler17rose]

Where does this 1.55 number come from? <p>And I'm almost positive its clogged cause my car gets bad gas milage and sometimes stinks like eggs (ive been told cats do that when clogged <p>Any other comments? What does everyone else run?

[lazzyie]

i ran a 10.6 with the car gutted on my k8

So 10.817 isnt too shabby? Sweet. I'm gona get a test pipe and take it back to the track. Maybe i'll hit 10.6 <p>Oh and this time i'm gona leave the tools at home!

[torpedan]

Nah if your smellin eggs its not clogged... no top end can be a result of a clogged unn.. yoru cat is going bad.. doubt its losing any flow. just get a new one or a test pipe

[Tyler17rose]

Well i tried to get a test pipe today, but the shop wouldnt do it. They said something about a 10 000 dollar fine. So i guess i'll just have to live with it, or save for a high flow cat. <p>Anyone know where i can get a pipe? Cause i even asked them to make a peice of pipe with flanges the same length as the cat so i could put it in. They still said no.

Most places shun away from that quite a bit.. the penalties is steep.. search around online or use a peice of temporay exsaust pipe and just use clamps out of the store.. they work really well.. its not welded but it still works
