Nice lawhead. When you get the chance, put up the pic of the car with the number on it, and a clear full pic of the slip if possible.

Shave off 2 tenths, and you may have just solidified the 13s.

Seems right in line with most stockish LS1s I see at the track.

Right in line with the best pass I had in my SRT8 Jeep so it sounds like it ran exactly how it should have since I ran with header/cai/tune cars in my da. Good job!

Yes, cause this is Grand ******* Turismo, where every car gets a 5% power increase for an oil change and a wash...the **** outta here with that ****.

Fresh knows the maintenance issues better than the owner.

Thanks for the new sig.

Do you remember the trick to that? You modded your car fully BEFORE getting the oil change, because the oil change adds a percentage of your horsepower. So if you had 200hp and got the oil change, it'd end up being like 208. BUUUUT if you fully modded it and had 1000hp, it'd be 1040 after the oil change

%5 on a 300whp~ car could be worth 15hp (possibly .15 and 1mph in et) and totally feasible on a 13-17 yr old car of unknown maintenance.

First thing i do when i buy a used car is tune it up unless i know it's history. You are really showing your lack of automotive knowledge here.......but on the other hand you seem to know your video games

Apparently 90% or more of stock LS1 F-bodies are in need of maintenance when they go to the track. Awesome to know.

Well this is what you get when your maintenance schedule doesn't include a holesaw.
