Default Mid 12 looking for 11 with my LT4 396

12 is easy, we run 12,51 on the first run ever, first time on a dragstip

I have Golen Build 396 LT 4, it is right out of the box as Chad built it, I put it in and trashed my 4L60E on the first testround, took out the gearbox and sat in a prepped 4L80E with Compushift, and went for the Race & Rock drag on Gardermoen Raceway Norway to test the car with the original 2.73 rear , we had a party in the car on the way up to the dragstrip, so when we get there we just took out the coolingbags, tools and throwed out some thai women's and the car was ready for the 1/4 mile, I even forgot to take out some air of the tires, so it went down the strip with 42 PSI ! in the tires, the result was 12,51 and 189,97 or near 119 MPH.... and a 60" time of 1,9 something.... Not bad with a flash start from idle.

After that I have mounted a Moser 9" with 3.70, and locker, I had some vibrations in the car, so we didn't test it more this year, and we have solved the vibration problems, so the car is ready for next season, looking for 11's

you should be in the 11s, a 1.9 60' plus 119 mph. 12.5 is what i run with a 1.85 60' @110mph.

60' doesn't always tell the story....poorly prepped tracks will give a decent 60', then take everything back in 2nd and 3rd gear.

nice times.
