Default is this BS or what?

http://www.ls1gto.com/forums/showthread.php?t=104784

help me out here

guy is trapping 115 on a bolt on LS2 GTO,

LT's, 3600 stall, 3.91 gears, intake manifold, CAI, underdrive pulley and Drag Radials

3850 race weight

somehow he is faster than guys with a cam and bolt ons, and even some with heads and a cam.

then he claims this

Why don't you compare my times with the others in the bolt-on list. There are 3 guys trapping 111 MPH. I out power them and out accelerate them. 4 MPH isn't that tough to gain.

I wouldn't doubt it at all. As far as the h/c cars being slower, maybe they should get their setup straightened out.

yep believable a good stall will not lose mph,gears will add mph i went from 2.73 to 3.73 and gained 3mph.i was trapping on average a high 111 to low 112.after gears trapped mid 115 and 1 low 116mph.

The concept of looseing mph with gears would be if you run out of gear or have to shift before the end of the track. As long as you stay in the same gear you should easily gain mph.
