Yea a off road mid pipe helps you might not gain much power but I picked up a few tenths on the 1/4
What's a few tenths? increasing HP by 10 is worth a .1TH in ET reduction so no way would an Off road h pipe pick up a few .10ths over that stock mid pipe since it's not possible to realize a 20HP gain from a off road mid pipe and no other changes.
I'll bet that the conditions(variables) were not the same between the catted and non catted pipe at the drag strip. Wind, temp, traction, engine temp are all variables too large to ignore if you want to do an accurate comparison. As an example, a car sitting in the pits can gain a few tenths just by cooling off. In order for you claim about an off road pipe reducing ET's to carry any weight, the variables would have to be the same with both pipes and the results would have to be repeatable as well. I'll say that It's a bunch of bull for a off road mid pipe alone to reduce ET's by a "few" tenths with everything else being equal.
