Who's got the FASTEST...

Yeah, even my wife notices a change in me over the winter months when I don't drive it too much, BUT when the Spring hits I'm a revitalized fool! There's nothing like dropping the hammer in these things...Its like therapy...I've taken the street car approach and am gradually slipping over to more race inspired stuff...Like the Richmond spool sitting in my living room...but I've had it with limited slips, its time to get serious...I still think I can eek out a wee bit more out of my combo...11 teens would be nice...

My old setup was also a daily driver.
383 built by ECS(mild cam, racetronix, 30# inj, forged internals, ported heads, 1.6 rr...), bilstein HD shocks, eibach springs, hotchkis lower control arms, sway bars, adj panhard rod, FLP headers, Flowmaster catback, full custom stereo (subs amps..etc) all factory options still intact (ac, power doors/mirror/windows)... I put about 8000mi on the car the year I got the 383 built, I had all the bolt-ons already prior to that. It was also my first time at the track that year too...best I was able to muster was a 13.5...lol. Definately NOT the fastest with my crappy driving, but it has potential with the more driving skill.

if you have a "street" LT1 trapping anything over 123-125 mph in the 1/4...in my opinion you are doing it

In an LT1, then yeah, IMO you are, so if your doing 140 congrats... LS1/LT1 that's an accomplishment
I'll be happy to do 125.. 140

Quick review of the setup is VRE 383, AFR LT4 heads by LE with Edelbrock LT4 intake, Monoblade with a Nitro Daves custom monoblade plate setup, D1SC procharger (with all the Fixens, lol) with a FMIC, 4L80E tranny controlled with a TCI controller, 12-bolt,etc. TOO much to list, will Hundreds of pics when doing the swap
. Plan to drive the car EVERYDAY and Run in the 9's at over 140mph without the nitrous . Hell to be completely hones I probably wont even spray it.
