Default ET: 27sec @ 32mph

It was one of the worst Et's in the world of F-bodies LOL..... I fixed the check engine light and did all the suspension work... so the car was ready for sub 2sec 60fts.... Anyways i Launched at 5K rpm and the car jumped like a monster until i passed the 60ft and after that it just didnt go anywhere. I was shocked to see the clutch pedal stuck into the floor and doesnt want to come out(That means i need another clurch right?) After trying to pull it with my hand it came out and i ended up with 1.78 60ft and 27sec at 32mph LOL. Anyways later in the night i tried babying the car(idle launch) just to see if fixing the check engine light really gave me more power and i trapped 110-111. So basically fixing the check engine light gave me around 4mph increase while the clutch is fried(MY best was 107 with the check engine on). So people running with their check engine lights on should really fix it. Also the gas tank lasted 280mph while it didnt last 200mph with the check engine light on. Hey guys do u think with the SPEC STage 3 Carbon steel flywheel i would be able to get 113mph and mid 12's with 1.7's-1.8 60ft?

Some DTCs don't effect power of fuel efficiency in the slightest. Others do. Just depends on what's wrong with your car.

Your gas tank lasted 280 MPH?!? Dayyuuum!

The problem was the O2 sensor codes and the cat codes. When i deleted those codes and reset my PCM with autotap i gained the lost power. After fixing trhe check engine light, im getting 280miles for a full gas tank(Alot of city driving). When i had my check engine light on i couldnt get more than 200miles. I also gained 3-4mph with the check engine light being off. So LS1 edit did really help me in getting my lost power.
