Default finally 12s, without much

So i have been stuck at 13.3 @ 107 for a long time with my ls6 intake, lt header, automatic camaro and i couldnt budge. I also have some suspension mods like subframe connectors and lower control arms. So i decided to throw in a 3800 stall converter and went 12.3 @ 108, i couldnt believe i dropped a full second from a converter, i backed it up with another 12.3 run. Im very pleased with it.


oh yeah i still have 2.73s as well

That's awesome. What was the breakdown of the whole run? Also, what's your DA? I'm looking into buying a PT4000, this just makes me want it even more.

You said you bought it about a year ago. Don't you wish you had put it in before now?

Nice. If you opt for better gears, you should able to do 12 flat or 11.9s easily. I know I ran 12.2 w/ 3.42 w/ MT ET streets.

How is the stall affecting your daily driving? I'm curious. I run mid 12's with my current mods. Note I have 3.23's as well. I'd love to gain a full second.
