Update: Well, I went to the track last Thursday and tried my luck with the drag radials. Very first pass the clutch slipped bad on the 1st to 2nd shift, and completely gave out on the 2rd to 3rd shift. I had to let the clutch cool for over 30 minutes before I could drive it without it slipping in gear. I'm going to be getting an aftermarket clutch in, and I'm going to try again with the drag radials when I find time.

I had my clutch slipping really bad when I went to the track my first time. Thought it was done. It was just super hot and holds really well still over 1yr later. Crazy eh?

It's driving okay now, but I think I glazed the disk because it's chattering now. Oh well, I got a good deal on an LS7 clutch kit, it's going in tomorrow. I'm going to break it in going to work and leisure driving before the track this Thursday.

I'm talking about engine modifications: those that directly relate to adding more horsepower. The thermostat allows the engine to run at a cooler operating temperature. It however is generally not an engine performance modification. The same is to be said with the free mods and the short shifter. They are to help my drive the car and to remove useless crap from the engine bay.
As far as the standard power making modifications (i.e. I/H/E), those are what I have.
Basically, if you are unhappy with my title thread, just rest assure that it's simply a bolt ons car.

It's really bad down here actually. I've yet to see a bolt ons M6 LS1 do 12s, other than myself. I mean the all motor Honda guys are whooping up on these guys running low 13s.
On a side note, the LS7 clutch is in and broken in. I'll be going to the track next week on drag radials to run mid to low 12s with just bolt ons....assuming the 10 bolt holds up.

Nice. I'm going to do some prepping tonight (change oil, flush fluids), and get it ready for the track tomorrow. The car is running great. I had the tune tweaked a bit more, to squeeze a bit more power out of my setup. The car has nothing new other than the LS7 clutch. If everything goes well and I drive it like I did last time, this car is going to see mid to low 12s on bolt ons.
