These cars respond very well to mods. Throw 1,500$ into a cam, long tube headers and a Y pipe and watch it go high 11's or low 12's with some good tires.

That's a hell of a trap for a car with only a tune and a catback. I would say that something at the track messed up the trap speed or you have more mods than you know about, considering stock LS1s trap around 105mph give or take. That's a good ET for the mods you have listed though.

when i baught it the dealer told me as far as he knew it was stock so i threw on the magnaflow exhaust which sounds awsome and i had my friend tune it to remove the speed limiter and fix my shift points it also gave him an option to turn on abuse mode in the trans im not sure what that is but it runs like a dam champ now amd i love it best car ive ever owned bar none

Glad you like it man and that 115.8 trap is

How many times have you run it, and what did you run in the 8th? If it's backing up those traps and you launch it a little better you'll have a mid 12 second car easy.

Not trying to rain on your parade or anything but I've just never heard of an LS1 with those few mods traping 115, especially with an auto.

Wow, that makes no sense. They say a basic rule of thumb is 10hp is a 1 mph difference in trap speed. So if you're really trapping 114-115 you've got at least 50 more rwhp than your mods suggest.

104 sound right, there must have been a glitch in the timing system at the track

Its torque management, the computer will retard the timing to avoid damage to the tranny. Just leave it off.
