After having listened to some of Fabspeed's other systems, the rennkraft headers seem to have a very distinct sound! I was hoping for a bit better sound/tone, but I get there is a reason why the exhaust is done the way it's done. I think Rick did say that most aftermarket parts would work provided the quality is up there, so there's hope for some of us. Glad to see he's happy, and I hope that his project is complete......we always say it, and it never seems to be enough
I would love to see a data log from a track day, or a ODB logger or draggy. Watching someone blast a canyon is unquantifiable. Here is a standard 6sp GT4 standing start on an unprepared road, no rollout.
As the magic of the DeMan build is torque... I would be more interested to see something like a 3rd gear pull from 25-100 and compare the two that way.

Yeah whatevers clever. A standing quarter was just what I had on hand.

I much agree, because that data is much more reproducible since it eliminates the variables of driver skill in launching the car and differences in grip of the tires on the pavement [unless the DeMann engine build produces such great torque that the car breaks loose during the 3rd gear pull].
There is a 30-100 number right there (8.71 - 1.74 = 6.97 seconds 30 to 100mph). If you care about the full quarter mile time sure, the launch matters. The only variable that needs to be accounted for is what gear the car is in during whatever speed range you're measuring, and tire size, and gears if they were changed.
10.37 seconds if you want 30mph to 118.7mph (but there is a shift in there 3rd to 4th)
