30-115ish

Got the jump and when we shut down we were door to door. Sorry about the quality and the late start...it's hard to drive and video.

Nice run. But that is very dangerous on a public roadway. Hell in some states its illegal to use a cell phone and drive. You should never video while driving on a public road.

You're right, it's very dangerous. I figure I normally drive with one hand anyway though. Trust me, it's ALWAYS more important to stay alive than get the footage. It's a matter of priorities.

I've got a window mount, it's just pretty useless for most applications.

I'm guessing some spray. Which is ok if you are cause I'm considering going that route myself.

i think he is one of the few that is on the stock trans that has mods but not 100% on that

AlabamaGuy

The fact that I said that and right below it is a picture of the massive burnout amuses me. I'm afraid of the trans but I have a theory about abusing it making it last lol.


Brian396 in running the turbo kit on the stock trans, and didn't one other guy do the same thing for a while?

I think you just got a lucky trans! Who ever built yours in the factory must have gotten a raise that day or a BJ the night before!!!!!

Always gotta have a window switch when running spray. Your trans will last at least a LITTLE longer.

He's got 23 posts but look at his join date, theres alot of people on here whos post count is low but have been members for years. Hell I've seen people post 10-12 times and their post count says "0".

Yep, post count doesn't equal knowledge, or experience in the real world. He could have 10,000 posts in the non-tech sections and we would never know. Just goes to show that even 99% of enthousiasts don't really know what's going on in the LS4 world. We're still seen as W-bodies, instead of LSx platforms.

I don't think that you have to worry about your trans if you use nitrous. You're not going to be able to launch it on the bottle. At best you would hit it at the top of first gear. I'd be more concerned about having the engine tuned for it.

cartuning kit?

07MCSS
08-11-2010, 02:10 PM
cartuning kit?

No. It's a custom kit that is similar. Modular Turbo provided many of the parts and it is being built by Polk Performance in Alexandria, Arkansas. Rob at Modular Turbo is the best and he can get just about anything you need. The guys at Polk Performance build killer systems. They have reputation for making cars fast!

nice i bet it will be alot less than cartuning kit

07MCSS

It should come in at just under $4000. I did some of the work myself though. I installed the injectors, meth, gauges, Kenne Bell Boost A Pump, etc. The shop is basically fabbing intercooler piping, exhaust and tuning. Polk Performance managed to get a 3" downpipe in there. It's a tight fit. They ran 3" pipe all the way out to the y-pipe with a cutout. Hopefully I'll get it back by this weekend.

I was just stating what other people would say, not necessarily me, but I know what your saying about posts. I just feel like some people come in here and bash our cars, either literally or figuratively that's all.

Good run with the ls1 vette. I stopped and de-modded the gxp when the tranny went
and gave it to my light foot daughter. Its got 100k now. Love, hate relationship. The most expensive car I've ever owned to keep running year to year.

I suspect the AG has a good transmission cooler installed along with a few other mods. Most of us can pull at very high 13 second quarter with a properly prepped track. Ls1 vette mimimally modded runs low 13 second quarter at about a108 trap. Hence the pulling on you hard on the top end. So we are talking 50 rwhp added.
Thats not too hard to attain, even with a LS4. Good luck with the tranny.

AlabamaGuy
08-11-2010, 10:16 PM
Still stock on the trans, no cooler yet. Hell, still has original fluid in it. lol

08-11-2010, 10:32 PM
I know. Mine was the same. You'll get there eventually.
I dont post here alot but if I was to guess you changed out the intake manifold to a LS2 or better intake along with downipe, exhaust etc...
The intake manifold on the LS4 is a super restriction. Good luck and good run.

Why? Its not sprayed, I know that for a fact. These cars are quicker than most people think. And a mostly stock A4 C5 isnt but a low 13 second car on average.
