What's strange is i made 394rwhp when it got tuned then i dynoed it later it made 423 but even so if it was 394 it should be faster than what it is. The tires I have are MT et streets 255 60 16s they definitely hook well. But i will change my shift points and try at like 6500 see if that helps. Also the car is full weight also with a tool box Jack and a bunch of other weight haha this wednesday I will remove a bunch of ****. Rear seat, tire and ill find other stuff.

I have yet to see a M6 cam only LS1 Fbody or even cam and intake only M6LS1 Fbody run 11's in June,,July,,or August at the track I goto.

I feel forums members 1/4et's are so far over exaggerated that in the parking lot and staging lanes at the track I goto NO one has there hoods up ,because they don't want to be embarresed by there mid to high 12second ET's with H/C/I they just keep there hoods down.

Actually in one of the recent GMhightech issues one of the editors even mentioned this same issue about an LSX event that was free for anyone that wanted to race there cars that a sponser was paying for everyones admission into the race. The editor said that there was more LS cars in the parking lot that Paid to see the races than there was on the track that got to enter for free.
I agree with this editor that mostly likely half the cars in the parking lot that chose not to race didn't want there real ET times to be revealed because that would reveal there Forum typed over exaggerated 1/4 mile ET times.

The last two LS1 cars that I witness run a 11second pass was a C5 M6 Z06 with nitrous and DR's he ran a 11.8 at 118mph and a 2000 camaro with cam ,,stalled A4 and nitrous run a 11.9 at 112mph.

So OP wile your times may seem dissapointing to you based on everyone elses FORUM ET's ,,but from what I have seen at my local track over the years your car is running along with most of the cam and intake LS1 cars that I see at my local track.

Also I have 3.42's right now and I have been debating going with 4.11 gears,,,as of right now I end the 1/4 at the top of 3rd gear and have been debating if I go with 4.11's that will cause me to have to shift into 4th gear that if having to make that extra shift into 4th gear will cause me to run around the same time as I already am with the 3.42gears,,because everytime we shift we are loosing valuable time in the 1/4mile.

Lastly if it makes you feel any better my best time so far and my car weighs almost 3700lbs with me int it and a 2600DA was 12.34 at 115.98mph with a 2.04 60ft bouncing off the rev limiter just before the end of the 1/4mile in 3rd gear.
My rev limiter is set at 6500rpm along with i'm having to shift early into 2nd and 3rd gear to stay off the rev limiter my 1/8 mile MPH was 94.94mph.

So i'm raising the rev limiter to 7000rpm and will be shifting into 2nd and 3rd gear at 6500-6700rpm I think I can run atleast a 11.9 with my stock lowered suspension and Toyo DR's with my factory 3.42 gears,,3700lbs and a 2.04 60ft.

You run a 1.786 60ft in 66dgree weather with a DA of 1602 and you still couldn't get into the 11's even with 4.11gears.

I could only dream of 66degree weather and a 1602DA in August at my local track,,,hell my car would have ran a 11second pass bouncing off the rev limiter with a 2.0+ 60ft with 3.42 gears with Toyo DR's if the DA was 1602 at my local track.

I can go on and on ,,but the fact still remains if you would have raced your car on the same day same time August 26th 2011 at 7.35pm at my local drag strip it was 87.8degrees outside with a DA of 3130 you would have ran a 12.7-12.8 based on the time slips you posted at the start of this page.

Am I starting to make since to you now??? because I can't make my point any clearer than what I just wrote above↑↑↑ the facts and reasons are there.

So agian you and others can make all the remarks you want about my first reply to this thread ,,,but agian as noted above based on my local track conditions I just don't see what yall are seeing at your local tracks that often especially in June,July,August,and September if the temps are still in the 90degree range threw out the day.
