I got a great seat to see what a Maggie did on a bone stock LS1 from a 98 Vette...fender to fender the whole way (My 11.30 to his 11.32) with my old SBC 406....the whole reason I went LSx
yeah but i have a 4l80e, ford 9", 3600 stall and 33x22 tires with 3.55 gears robbing my power. dont forget the flowmaster mufflers choking it down. 420 is on an inflated number on a cold night. average is probably more like 350 rwhp.

Thanks. It is killing me that the slab is not done. Should have been wrapped up Thursday at the latest.

Zones bouncing at the widow awaiting the concrete truck like a dog awaiting its master to get home.....every car door, run to the window, and no one there
