A little bit of maintenance and weight reduction paired up with "skinnies" equalled to some great passes this weekend at mission.

Smashed my PB all 4 passes

There are only a few people in the world who managed to run a 10 sec pass on stock turbos without nitrous or meth. I might be joining the club very soon

How bit of a difference do the skinnies make? I understand every little bit counts, is it the weight or is it the drag? If we are doing every little bit, would some covers on them make sense?

Everyone was telling me that they do make a 2-3mph difference, but these are cheap skinnies and being 17x4.5 they still weigh 23.4 lbs. For reference my apex arc8s 19x9 weigh 19 lbs. Adding tires i was still saving weight but only 1 lb per side, but i guess its the contact patch that helps since i did gain 2-3mph. I also removed pass. seat which is a solid 50-60lbs which i never did before, so that was good for half a tenth. Ill try go get a pair of 5 series spares which are 17x4 and only weigh around 16-17lbs and see if that gives me a bit more to get in the 10s

yes, pretty much maxed out turbos but still holding 22psi with no smoke or rattle. had the same tune for 3 years now.

i only know of one other person that went 10s with stock turbos in the states but his car is completely gutted down to 2600lbs, im at 3350-3400. He went 10.6 and then 10.2 adding nitrous
