Hahaha nah we were getting it tunned in.. I swapped the TH400 for a 4L80E over the winter and we were working the shift points. It was running 10sec flat but that is a full 1Sec slow..

No trans brake yet so best 60' we had was 1.68 (we have run 1.48) and the trans was shifting way too early (low RPM) keeping the turbo out of ideal boost range. It will take a month... we will be back to racing again. We WILL hit 8sec this year or I am gonna drive it into a wall!

Kyle, on ls1gto you can search for geeeteeego's (sp?) thread where he placed a bullet muffler before the turbo with awesome results. I think the thread was like "an audible solution" or something like that. It worked well for him and his spool time.
