Info info info, hard to tell what is going on there. How about telling us what mph the roll was how far you went and what mph you finished at. Also 5 second vid clips are just not long enough. Try to catch the whole thing next time. But other than that looks like you where coming around on the last run.

Next winter I'm going to do some Patriot performance 2013/2029 heads with a Texas racing 220/220 .551/.551 112 cam with my LS6 intake and ported tb.
I'm going to get my trans done around this time as well, and may just go with 3.69's.
Thinking, I could sell off my stock intake, rails, and injectors. 243 heads and Cranes gold race rocker kit too offset the price.
I have way too much pride to get beat, like you keep getting beat man.. but I admire your courage, and I sure your having fun.
Time for some juice if you wanna hang with those kind of cars!

Do you guys seriously think I'm racing these cars trying to win? Those are my friends. We were screwing around on the way home from the track. Obviously cars putting down 100+ hp more to the wheels than I am are going to beat me every time. And there's no way I was coming around on that last one lol.

ya i think people forget that Ls1's and ls2's can get into the low 12s or even high 11's with bolt ons. A LS4 would need all bolt ons plus the ls6 intake swap and then 75-100 shot to hang with those cars or a turbo to put a beating on them.

Still some good races, and a good way to judge your progress.

For the record, the camera man is slightly retarded.

Those headers made a huge difference, as they do on most LS motors.
