Better, maybe, but he still would have got "worked."

My stock 2000 Z28 (A4) had no problems running 13.70s through a paper airfilter and factory lid.

13.70's is pretty fast for any LS4.

I was thoroughly impressed with Travis's car (I was passenger in the MCSS). Wasn't as bad as I thought for a car with just a cat back versus a full bolt car. This car ran pretty consistent at 12.7Xs with just LTs, ORY, and GMMG catback on Hankooks and my old auto Z car ran 11.7Xs spinning with a MS3 and some stock 5.3 heads. So they are no slouch by any means. Very impressive performance and driving by Travis.


Never been around a modded Ls4 before. Have to get that rematch with the new mods.

I'm exhaust/tune only running 13.7s all day. I've beat stock LS1s before. I don't think 13.7 is much of a stretch for these cars.

there was a guy on club gp that went 13.5 with just the headlight removed. i think its a driver issue with the ls4 cars getting the car to hook up. dont get me wrong the ls1 car is definitely faster and has a better set up for drag racing but theyre not unstoppable, and i dont think his car would have gotten "worked" against a bone stock one.
