Outstanding. Now keep shovelling the coals to it and lets get in that magical 7 second zone. Good Job.

the LT1 should be able to run consistant 7s pretty soon from what's floating around. Imagine the LT1 finally being faster than any LS1...

Believe me! Its NOT going to be a problem. It ran an 8.2@174 at Atlanta Dragway, which is at an elevation of 1100'. If they get it to a nice low elevation track that is prepped before it gets too warm. I see 7.9s
