I don't know if it's the music or what, but I feel like I just watched a clip from an F&F movie.

Good run.

I know it's surprising to some, but once again Hio knowing what he's talking about. The "full bolt-on" thing is 99% of the time complete BS. There's a ton more bolt-ons that can be done other than just cai, headers, exhaust and tune. That vette is "a few bolt-on" car.

Yeah, not even close to FBO.

I'm looking to hit 10's with bolt-ons, tune, stall, Dr's. Will post results this fall when we get some good DA.

Just the minimal weight lost from pulling all the emissions junk, engine covers, exhaust saves some, drag pack. The car stock is pretty light, its a 1LT and only weighs 3150 with 1/4 tank without driver.

The converter and getting the 60' down to below 1.5 will be key to hitting 10's. I'll be going with an FTI again.

This isn't my first rodeo, I hit 11.40's in my bolt-on stalled Z28 years ago. The vette weighs about the same and makes more power with the LS3.

Don't know that I'd go that far... They do make some very nice rides though.
