Default 05 LSX 454 Gto goes 9.74 @139 nitrous blowin' thru the converter

guys I'm happy and I'm pissed. The 9 second pass was awsome but on the 300 shot only gaining 8mph over the motor runs (131mph) bangin' off the rev limiter through all the gears sucked. Time for a true nitrous converter

I was walking around, I saw your car. Your car looks great. I'll introduce myself next time. I've seen your car at a few test and tune sessions.

Happy Holidays.

Hey it was good meeting you Sunday, your car is the best looking GTO I have ever seen. Too bad you had a few problems. Talk to Greg @ FTI about a converter restall , he is a sponsor on here and one of the best around also very good prices. Almost half the dragracers around Florida use his converters.

Stop in and we will get the converter dialed in. Greg turns them around in 1-2 days. Were 2 lights south of 70 & 301.

I talked to him several times at the track about his car and told him he should have Greg @FTI restall it. He lives somewhere near your shop.
