Just diggin up some numbers from our boosted lists. 30th436 11.35@122.34, Crunch, 10.78@127.50 (the best I have seen from a G-trim). On the ATI side, Silver Bullet 9.76@139.60, KP, 9.90@136.37. I am on the Vortech side but even accounting for longer piping its simply not going to flow the air like a D1SC.
I knew what all of them ran, but those were very mild street cars I've seen KP car the others I don't know about but they are more on the track side of that. No dought the D1SC flows more air I wouldn't question that just that I know of people like SJH he has never posted any times but I would be willing to bet he is a lot closer to the ATI guys cause his car is leaning toward a track set up also (G-trim) And me I don't know that I will ever post a 100% correct ET cause of the night activities that I like so much LOL!But I will say that with the busted motor in my signature I ran 127 mph in the 1/4 and now in the 130 range. I know tha ATI guys have an advatage over a G-trim, but it is funny how close they are in numbers for a blower this small.
I went 11.2 last year on a stock motor full weight, it had 10's in it if I had a set of valvesprings. My tuner didn't want to risk any valve float so my car was shifting at around 6k rpm or 5800 I can't remember.
I want to push my G trim as far as it can go. I know my car should be good for a 10.5 when its all said and done.

I have the vortech kit V-9 SQ w/ aftercooler and I'm seeing 500rwhp and 470rwtq w/ completely stock motor, cam and heads on just bolt ons and i'm only pushing 6lbs of boost on a conservative tune.... Imagine where I'll be when I drop down in pulley size and get 9-10 lbs of boost outta my little G-trim 
Gold Formula aka Brian went like 10.5 with a G-Trim Vortech.
G-Trim is only rated for like 550hp, so to get 550rwhp is great. The T-Trim is rated for 800hp, but 800rwhp has been made.

Talked to Nelson and he will be doing the tune. Its just a matter of time now. I can wait to see what it will make. Ill be happy with 550 to the wheels. Ill get what I need with spray on top of it. 
Everything else in my car is done. All I lack is the K member and A arms. QA1's are in a box waiting for me to do it. But Im not going to do anything till I have every dam part I need before I do the install. Next month is looking good for my car to be complete. Its been a long road just to get my drivetrain to hold up. Ive been thru 6 T56'S. 
The viper T56 is the way to go And a spec 3F will hold for now. Last edited by JMBLOWNWS6; Sep 1, 2005 at 11:44 AM.

3. My fault missed 3rd and broke the shift fork (GM repaired 15k)
4. Poppin out of gear Again ( GMPP replaced the tranny with a new one)
5. 6th gear destoryed itself while I was driving home (GM replaced it and I modded the hell out of my car) No more GMPP and warranty
6. Broke 1st and 2nd shift fork,Syncro assembly was rounded,Second gear was warn out. (Rebuilt everything with better so called viper parts and it has worked flawless) Upgraded to a pro 5.0 shifter and a great spec clutch.
Its happened so many times I think thats the order.
This last time I paid for everything and I know it was done right. I had over 10K in claims with GMPP. LOL
