I put "deep" because last time when I hit 12.9 I had the title of "into the 12s with a bolt on LT1", and 12.7 is deep enough to be able to call my car a definite 12 second car and that it isnt a fluke. But yea, shoulda put ankle deep, maybe knee deep, if I hit 12.5 next week Ill put waist deep haha

1.6 60' + stock untouched 140,000 mile 10 bolt with 3.42s = 
Ill get a little more agressive with the ET streets and hopefully the soft sidewall will give me some cusion, what PSI should I run in them given the weight of my car?
I dont think its capable of 115mph in this setup, but maybe once I do the massive ram air LS1 lid mod, Im hoping for 112 in the cooler air next week with the ET streets and 4000 rpm launch. The front sway bar is also getting yanked this week.
Shon, you hold the bolt on LT1 record right? What was your et and mph?

Verdad Gallardo I run as much air as possible that doesnt blow them off, i usually start at 20 and go down, but I am different than most, LOL
I dont know if the 11.80/113+ still stands.
1.55 60' with 12bolt 4.33s
when I swapped to A4/LS1 I went 1.53 on the 10bolt/4.10s.

Its only noisy with the cutout open because it dumps right before the passenger rear seat well, and its downright loud inside at WOT. With it closed its not much worse than when I was full interior. The stereo does fine at covering the sound with it closed, even when I had the stereo out and was using an ipod and some United Airways free shitty headphones it would cover it. Open, you cant hear the stereo at all at WOT even with the good polk audio speakers on max volume.

Ive done a couple 1000 mile round trips with it the way it sits now, not bad at all. Ive put the passenger seat and seatbelt in a couple times and the gf has come on short trips, but very quickly gets tired of the smell of oil burning off the headers coming through the floors and firewall.
theres so much weight reduction that can still be done. Power steering (just loop the lines), Accessory bracket, Alt relocation, all of that HVAC crap (you still have the motors back there), ABS, Small battery, LS1 Plastic gas tank, Radio, speakers, all the wires from it. just depends on what you can deal with i guess
