Default NEW BEST: 5.98@116+

went out and tested new headers & tune up, and resulted in 5.98 @ 116.33 with a 1.30 60' on the rear tires....run was made leaving at 1500rpm NO TRANS BRAKE!...car really needs a wheelie bar, front end is coming up to high and scraping the back bumper....still using my little 8-ribbed belt <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> , would like to thank Mike at MMS RACING for the awsome job tuning the car.....

hoping to get a wheelie bar made in the next few weeks and see what she will do leaving at 4500 off the trans brake! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Damn!!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> That's hauling some *** there!!!

Sounds like you've got a real good shot at some 8 second ET's once you get the chassis all sorted out.

Congrats! <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Sweet, you are flying, is that like a 9.3-9.4 pass in the 1/4?

I hope to show (this year) what a YS trim can do on a LS1 with car that hooks... Are you running a 10" (245mm) converter?

Damm

Great times Rob, I can't wait to see your times after the wheelie bars and more rpm on the launch. 1.30 is an amazing 60'.

I hope to catch up with you one day at the track

Rob, that is just plain awesome! Great work.

What headers did you end up with?

You are not far off trapping 150mph <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> 116 is like 147-148mph. Insane
