Nice run man. What gears do you run, looks like its dropping off a lil on the top.

Thats a decent run for such a heavy car with only heads & cam. A friend has a silver GTO and I think it looks real good. 1.76 on your 60' is very strong!

It has the stock 3.46 gears but we have the M12 T56 m6 tranny so the stock gearing is actually pretty decent. I can get 3.91's for it to make it perfect.

I think the low trap speed is due to shitty air quality plus it being a ~4000lb car.

That's a quality pass right there!

Did you ever make it to MIR?

Or were you rained-out???

nice run! I don't think 112 mph is slow for the et, but what do I know?
What tires are you running on?
