with my last setup i run 12.06/121 with a race weight of 3750 this was with bigger turbos etc
with the ls1 i have faster laptimes around the track than with my modifed engine..... but i also did other mods so you cant giva all the credit to the ls1
but it is much lighter
this friday i am going to 1/8 track to get some times also i will find out the new weight of the car....

it seems like Sweden is really the only European country that loves cars as much as we do here. Japan would be 3rd place that i can think of that has a very large car culture, everywhere else it seems to be a marginal social group.
Swedish people are cool, i know a girl who grew up there.
