Default In the 12's

Went out with the 2008 Pontiac G8 GT to San Antonio raceway last night again and managed to put her in the 12's finally. Track was actually grabbing pretty damn good. Managed to take a friends WS6 (best of 13.9) another friends newer Mustang GT (best of 13.6), and in this one a little 1st gen Eclipse. I got one loss and that was to a Ram SRT-10 w/Intake, headers, exhaust, tune, and slicks that ran a 12.2 @ 117
All of my runs where damn near the same with a 2.03X 60' and all 12.8X @ 110.

No responses? I know it's not a Firebird or Camaro, but I figured I would get some love from you guys.

Your golden, this is LS1tech!! Not Fbodytech. Congrats on the 12's marker, what are your plans now?

Im dedicated to getting my Z into the 12s in 09. My best is a 13.6 with 2.73's and factory converter. Ive got a set of 3.73's in my room to help with that and Im planning on finding a 3600ish stall.

I'm thinking come tax time early next year, running a better TC w/higher stall, cam and getting rid of the crappy DOD stuff. Then I'll be content for a while with a low 12 second, 4k lb 4 door grocery getter, on street tires no less.

I have a 3200 in mine.

When I ordered it, I thought it might be too much.

Now I'm beginning to think that a 3600 would be better. Especially if I add a cam/ported heads.
