I ran it at the very end of last year, went 9.8@141 launching on no boost because I didn't realize it would launch so much differently from my old YSi setup.
Reason the car was down was the main belt was walking off and shredding too, so I had Speed Inc. change over the the ASP high lip pulleys I bought, and also look the car over. It did have a small exhaust leak too.
But having launched the car on boost on the street now and seeing how the car is really an animal, I decided I would finally change over to a spool since I think my locker is toast, and my axles are like six years old.

Car looks sick John-I think a Firebird will be in my cards if the Vette dishes out anymore drivetrain parts. What was the reason for choosing the LS2 intake over a LS6 or a Victor?

1) Victor is not legal for the GLD True Street class that I have interest in.
2) I think that most elbow solutions are too compromised to fit under the hood and negate the gains
3) I had LS6/stock ported TB before, and swapped to LS2/NW 90mm because it was easy and having a 4" diameter inlet was appealing.

I am not selling it, in fact I am having a few things done on it right now:
-drag brakes
-different muffler
-parachute (removable of course).
-removing 31 spline/locker internals and going to 35 spline/spool setup.
Last point is the most key, I think my locker is broken so before I push it super hard it needs to pulled and sent out for inspection.

I see, I didn't realize that you were having it work on lately. I thought maybe that you're just starting to lose interest. Sorry!
.......You got one wicked car for sure!

Update: There is definitely something going on with the locker, the ends of the axles show some wear. I might still be able to reuse the axles as they don't appear to be twisted, but they will go into a different car at some point.
