11.17@130.09 was my best et and new best mph. Had several runs 130 and change. My first pass was a 11.30@130.xx and they give me a warning. So I did some 1/8 passes and then started makeing 1/4 passes....I ended up getting a lecture but they said they were letting me slide because this is the last weekend. Today was weird, my 1/8 mph was down but my 1/4 mph was way up. I did do some aero adjustments in the front, but nothing that should've made a 3.5 mph change.

Yea I don't get why it won't et a little better. I guess the nitto 555r's are'nt that great and the 10bolt rear is even worse. Try to make it leave @ 4000 and it spins hard enough to pedal it. Try to make it leave @ 3000 and 16 psi and it breakes a axle....twice. I kept the pressure up at 18-20 psi today just so I would'nt have to fix a axle again.

What does your car weigh? It's a bolt on LS6 car? What gear are you running? Tire size? RPM you're shifting at?

3000lb with low fuel light on. Had 3/4 tank on Sat. Car is still complete with ac,cruise,all interior with race seats and all but 10lbs of sound deading.
Full bolt-on 2002 ls6 that was bought new in the crate. Has been in the car since about June of 02. Now has 85,000 miles on it.
3.90 gear on a nitto 555r 275/50 15
limiter @ 7000. Aiming for 6800 shifts. Tach don't keep up in 1st, 2nd I shift when the tach stops moving @ 6400, 3rd I give it a split second after the tach stops moving, 4th goin threw the traps after the tach stops moving....lol

All this sounds pretty out there don't it???? But that's how it happens. The car routinly trapps over 126 with a best before this of 126.8

Some guys wonder why their set-up is'nt running like it should....I wonder why mine runs as good as it does.

If i'm not mistaken you have the fastest bolt on LS6 in the world. I want to say the previous record was 125?

sir you in fact have broken the bolt on LS6 record as far as trap. And not by a little, 5mph! are you sure you don't have a secret kit on the car? lol Not calling you out man, just nothing makes sense or adds up here. Your time slip doesn't really make sense, nor does your trap with the mods your car has.
