nice job rollin up the window against the STI. I bet that guy in the STI had no idea how much that was affecting him having his front windows down up top. I was rooting for the stang to but it got yanked.

He also did some timing advance and a bigger intake manafold with bigger throttle body it was definitely faster than i thought it would be.

You guys can call BS all you want but when my 5.0 was bolt ons I stayed ahead of a LS1 until 3rd gear from a dig.

Nice kills...sweet cobalt ya got there! the guy in the stang was really hardcore with that shifter, i thought he would do a little better from the stop. He never got any further ahead then the door on both races...tho it looked like the balt was rolling a bit on the dig race

Now if GM will only start looking at Turboing the new V6. GM did well with the 2.0 Turbo and it's one of the strongest 4 cyl out there. Just not alot of aftermarket yet. Good race

Nice runs, what kind of tires are you running? A 5.0 with Dr's and gears should have got you off the line more then that if he could launch good, although he was shifting like a mad man.
