I think his excuse is something about it being a 6 speed and on a stock 10 bolt.

Yeah I think its the driver. Because when I drove my car (6spd form) it ran only high 8's and when my buddy drove (drives it like it was stolen) he got 8.3's out of it. Is that normal Mike for a stock clutch, stock ls1 intake, and full exhuast (borla and macs) and whisper air lid in a 98???

haha.... Mike this is funny. My car has never been to the track. So I don't know where you got 7.4's. Yes it is a 6 speed and yes it is on a stock 10-bolt. And I do not have a 90/90 (don't know where you got that). It's just a 6.0 block, 6.0 heads, cam, and full bolt-ons. Read my sig. And it did make 450rwhp 407rwtq. I was impressed with the #'s. But now, I don't know what to do. I still haven't messed with it. Prolly will tonight or tomorrow. Going to pull the plugs and see if it will rotate. And yes I have only had the car back for 3 weeks. No I am not mechanically inclined to do my own work or anything like that. I don't have the time to do it myself. But I guess that's what happens when you rely on a shop

I always take what Mike says with a grain of salt.

He is talking about my 7.41 pass that i made in my car recently full weight, spare and jack, completely stock suspension and front sway bar still on. 7.4999999 was my personal goal and i surpassed it. Time to ***** it out and make it a go cart now

Mike just reads, then posts...no thinking involved.

How about you telling me Mike the car wouldn't make power with the stock 5.3's?
Wrong again I see.

That'd be tight if my car did that.


Too bad i treat my car like a rock collection and piggy bank at the same time.

Tight like spandex.
