Not sure what you mean by that lol but Dyno's mean nothing when it comes to records unless the same dyno is used on every engine going for said record and under the exact same weather conditions. To many variable that can changes the results by 20-30hp either way. Take it the track and see if you can back up the numbers.

I like your word "if" lol The car will surely see the track the first available date. Been waiting all month but the weather just wont cooperate with us. The WITH ROCKERS was for some guys that cry they are not bolt ons anymore. To each his own

Op car already trapped better than some cammed cars when he had less mods and no dyno tune....pretty sure the dyno numbers and track times match up fine

Strong running car. My bolt on ls3 Vette with an A6 has run 123 but I know I'm lighter then you. Did you get to weigh the car?

His rw was probably a little over 3900 . No weight reduction other than what came off with the mods. 40lb in the clutch anf about 20 on the rear wheel/tire combo, ewp may have saved a couple and 3lb engine cover gone.

Your vette could easily go upper 120s with the ops mods without a doubt

Yep I checked back and my opinion hasn't changed, Dyno records still mean nothing lol. Not saying it isn't a fast car, it is and not saying it is or isn't the fastest bolt on car.... Just that dyno's are only good for one thing, Telling you what that car does on that particular dyno. It's a great tool to tune with and to compare results after you make changes.
Last I knew nobody hands out trophies after dyno runs and nobody races on dynos.

​​​​​​WTF? I'm not sure if you're stupid or just just trolling but he just posted the car went 11.56 at 120.4 at full weight which is over 3900 lb without driver..... if you still think the dyno was bs you're either in denial or know about cars

actually nvm I just reread your reply and you're just in denial lol either that or dumb. Car weighs 3900 and trapped 120 if anything the dyno is low. Sounds like you probably got on a happy dyno and then went slow at the track

Car runs good. What rpm are you going through the traps in 4th?

I would think 3900rw is good for a 5th gen. The -400 DA helps a little also.

The da did little to almost nothing actually. The car went 11.8@119.6 the day before on a 1.90 60'. Same 1.90 60' but 2300' da swing to the good nets the same time. Strange eeehhh?

Seems as tho most of the gain was in the 60'. 1.73 vs 1.90

Maybe it needs some different tuning for different days idk. For what ever reason i have noticed the same in my own car. It trapps the same in a 2k+ da swing.

1.73 with that set up, and likely still room to improve. Lazer must be one hell of a driver. Not like it's a purpose built track car
