Hopefully I'll get some lift time tomorrow night to f with the clutch and be able to make some runs on Saturday. Don't care what my times are, just interested in my MPH. Really been wanting to run the 1/2 mile mile and road course. Have a good 20 hrs. tuning it the last few months and the torque from 2500 on up is insane compared to what it was before. Now I know why the right tune is so time consuming for SD. I swear this cooler weather almost seems like a shot of nitrous!!!

Maybe I'll make it out again next weekend and show you guys how a basicly stock f-body is supposed to run I may have found some slicks too...

Weight reduction FTW! haha, Cole you're car should run low 8's once you get it sorted out.

My favorite part of the night was smoking a 4V mustang with intake/exhaust 150 shot who severely needed a driver mod.

Anybody know how to upload videos? I have that video beating the modded LT1 camaro.

I'm just giving Cole a hard time. My car's nothing special.

My secret is the 4 hood pins that equal 100 extra rwhp!

are you talking about the white and primer gray LT1?? that car is bone stock, if you want to call them mods, the car has a truck type stall convertor thats a remanufactured unit thats a stall of 2500, and a pipe threaded type of cut-out, and wore out dr's that are actually on 3rd gen wheels..
