Too Much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just wanted to share my views on powerful musclecars. I've just completed a 250 mile test drive to SantaPod raceway and back in a F1C Procharged 355ci small block Camaro with dual 3" flowmasters.
I have a headache.
A sore throat due to talking to my passenger over the engine noise.
We were both lightheaded due to the build up of adrenaline from multiple bouts of excitement.
Spent over £100 in pump fuel and £120 for 5 gallons of VP C23.
Just a few questions.
1) Is it always that much fun!!?
2) Can my heart take it?
3) Do I really need a 572 BBC and F3 Procharger (1800 - 2000 hp) considering we never saw over 4000rpm on the street or motorway?
(PS. If your 10yrs old and are reading this. It's as good as you think its is. It really is that good!!!)

Sounds like a normal day in paradise! For your questions:
1) Sometimes even more, but it sounds like you set the bar pretty high today
2) No guarantees, but you will eventually get 100% of the money back that you originally paid for it
3) Hell yes, doesn't everyone?

Just an FYI, but you will have a much more pleasant aural experience and make more power with mufflers other than Flowmaster.

Ok thanks Blown353, Magnaflow have always been at the back of my mind. I'll try to find a similar combo and listen to them on youtube. Which mufflers are you running?

I'm running Magnaflow, only because Borla didn't offer an XR-1 case configuration that would work with my current tailpipes.
