Took our little "street" LT1 Firebird out last nite. Twin 76mms on a 396 LT1 with AFR heads on 325 radials 1.39 60ft and a 8.55 @ 169.9. All at 3450lbs. We are going to try to clean up the 60ft today and hopefully run faster.

This is our Purple car that GMHTP did my suspension article on. It has been 1.2x 60fts before. The new turbos are taking some getting used to.
