A good friend of mines gained a full sec+ from a garbage tune to a good tune on a HCI LS1.. I witnessed it first hand.. 12.73 to 11.5X

He went from like 108ish to about 116mph.. Both times was with the drag setup on the car.. The first guy who tuned the car just did a hack job.. The second guy who tuned was spot on..

MIR this time of year would probably rival it.

Sorry guys. I wasn't getting notifications. I have the car at the shop right now making some changes. The converter seems to go around 4500 and in some cases it appears to get close to 5000 depending on where you're checking it. I am going to tighten the converter up to something that is more street friendly. It mushes right through the shifts driving around and doesn't have a lot of steam through the mid range. I don't think this car has enough cam to warrant more than a 3500-3800 stall.

Also, the car had an 8 range plug in it because the previous owner was spraying 200. I am changing those over to a Br7ef and will only spray a 100-125 as I didn't need the car running 130+ on the bottle like it did.

I remember running at MIR in the fall when the DA was -2000. That track can be fast. My best times always came from Cecil. I'm in Michigan now, so it'll be interesting to see what Milan is like. Looks like we get good fall air as well!

There's a track rental in Ohio in a few weeks, feel free to PM Me for details. We're going to go and do some testing.

Lmfao. Everyone says that in the beginning. Then that rush fades, and you will be looking for more than 200, eventually. Have fun man!!!
