I was just stating what other people would say, not necessarily me, but I know what your saying about posts. I just feel like some people come in here and bash our cars, either literally or figuratively that's all.

Good run with the ls1 vette. I stopped and de-modded the gxp when the tranny went
and gave it to my light foot daughter. Its got 100k now. Love, hate relationship. The most expensive car I've ever owned to keep running year to year.

I suspect the AG has a good transmission cooler installed along with a few other mods. Most of us can pull at very high 13 second quarter with a properly prepped track. Ls1 vette mimimally modded runs low 13 second quarter at about a108 trap. Hence the pulling on you hard on the top end. So we are talking 50 rwhp added.
Thats not too hard to attain, even with a LS4. Good luck with the tranny.

I know. Mine was the same. You'll get there eventually.
I dont post here alot but if I was to guess you changed out the intake manifold to a LS2 or better intake along with downipe, exhaust etc...
The intake manifold on the LS4 is a super restriction. Good luck and good run.
