Default Well the LS4 really hauls!

Well i took the monte to the track last night... pretty impressive results!

No 12's though.. the drag radials just couldnt handle nothing but a feathered launch... Did manage to nail 1 1.8 60 foot and sailed to a 13.1 @ at nearly
105! That was with a little hick up of my foot as i let out because i thought i heard something clunking up front, but got back in it, see 330' time.

First run of the night it went 13.3 @ 102!

Im gonna get some e/t streets for snow tire rims and go next week again, going for the 12s then! ON MOTOR, NO CAM.

So i wonder if this is the fastest n/a LS4 on record so far? Its faster than the fasted noted sprayed one now bwhahahahahah

Consistently ran 13.4 ish with 2.0 60 fots as i was trying to launch it harder w/ more wheel spin...

Car after track w/ numbers proving its # 811


And the two best slips of the night

Very, very nice! You might want to consider a couple of cheap airbags in the back to prevent squat

I'm impressed. Nice job. I'm a little surprised the MPH would be 2 lower on the 13.37 run with a 68 100ths difference on the 60.

I've never used DR's but would have expected more from them. They seemed great with the one vid you posted.

Regardless, well done.

Mystic, he's not stock, by far. IIRC, Rockers, Rods, Springs, HP Tuned, Tranny shift kit, and now drag radials...

Did i miss something, BADD? Maybe an intake of some sort? Oh, yeah...btw...those are nice numbers, for sure! And yes, i do believe you have the fastest time for any LS4 that i've seen across a few forums.

The car would spin hard the more i would try an launch it harder. Too much torque fro drag radials with no side walls.

The MPH and ET got better because the sun went down and got cooler

This car should go 1.7 to 1.6 60 foots yet. It wa spinning bad when i would lean on it hard off the line. These passes where walking into it as fast as it would take it and would still spin a bit.
