No need to "be about it" since the car was built specificaly to be an N/A car. CARTEK wants to see good numbers with a simple H/C set up and that is what I'm going for. But I guess running 10.5's @ 129+ in a stock bottom end H/C car that is driven to and from the track... wow... its such a turn!

my bad, I thought you had an auto but now that you have a m6 your chances of running 9's on a 100 shot just went from bad to worse
Oh yeah a stock bottom end is just that, STOCK. not reringed and upgrades like rod bolts and oh yeah about that whole driving to the track thing and running 10.5's, yeah I do that except I do it faster and more consistant wieghing more and rocking ALL my leather interior and on drag radials not to mention the 3:73 gears

It took a lot of time (and money) to get my turd in the 9's. The only thing that made it all worthwhile was seeing nothing but sky and the hood of my car until the 60' mark.
I am going to up the shot a bit next season to see if I can get a little closer to 9.5's. I gotta keep up with those GB Boys.

there is still alot of things left to do for me to run mid 9's next year, hopefully I can keep up with the "jones" next year to get my car to be legal. I still need a chassis cert and my T&L but that can wait until next year. I am going to spend a few more bucks over the winter getting a few odds and ends but nothing too majorly expensive. My biggest bill will be those pimp *** Hoosier Daddy Drag Radials.

As far as reringing; it was never honed, and stock GM Rings were used w/o changing the ring gap, so its the same as having a slightly fresher stock shortblock.

As far as reliability, who knows, a T56 is sure as hell stronger the a 4L60. Anyone can run fast with a big enough nitrous shot...

as for t-56's being strong I guess they are if you shift like a women, after I trashed a few I went th400 I like your modo though "Anyone can run fast with a big enough nitorus shot" cuz that sums you up in a total nutshell of how much of a ******* clown that you really are

I think Laura is planning to stay with the 4L80E, it seems to be working for her as well as the other Camaros there with similar combos.

The th350 is very reliable.
