First attempt at Autocross, Holley LS Fest 2012 I had a lot of fun, I could see myself getting into this over drag racing. My first run was pretty bad. I ran a total of 4 times and every time I got faster. I did not see the times on my 4th run so I will have to see the results on the LS Fest web site. My 3rd run was 48.8 sec run, everyone said my 4th looked faster so I will have to wait and see on the web site.
The mods on my car are
UMI solid sway bars, urethane mounts, and end links
Cut stock springs, about 3/4 coil off
UMI sub frame conectors
Adjustable UMI panhard par urethane mounts
Boxed in stock rear LCA's with urethane mounts
Stock shocks, only 27K miles on them
UMI tunnel brace
I think the 17X11 ZR1's in the back helped some too.
Thats about it, I can see where this would be very adictive..
These were from my 2nd run, I have not uploaded the 3rd and 4th yet.
Was told I had one of the best sounding cars out there too...GMMG...

Something simple that will really help, get 1LE rubber bushings for the rear LCA's, poly ones will bind and cause the rear to come around on you without warning. The rear will also ride better as well.
Also look into some Koni SAs, you will be blown away on how much more stable and easy to drive they make the car. The factory decarbons (new or not) just simply do not have good valving to properly control these cars...

Are the 1LE's still solid?
