I wouldn't say slow but what elevation is your track at? Did you do all the free mods yet? I'd say you ran pretty good considering the 60' time was a 2.1. I'd add some drag radials & a cutout and go back. that would be good enough for a 8.3-8.4 time slip, Fred

The first thing you should do is get rid of that flowmaster exhaust.

That's why I mentioned the cutout. It worked for me, Fred

really? get rid of the flowmaster? It sounds so good though, people thought I had no cats.. Anyways, yes, I did all the free mods except for bypassing the cooling on the throttle bodt(its winter here now) maybe when summer comes along I will do it. The elevation is in texas, does anyone know the elevation of Texas Motor Speedway, as I bet it is close to that (zero).
I am scared(yea I know..scared) to put something stiky on the back for fear that my lead foot will break the rear end. My next mod will be the VCM edit suite (as soon as its available), and after that a ls6 intake and headers (slp? anyone have a better brand in mind) with no egr or pcv. A question, does removing those hekp performance on a ls1? I have always run a pcv in my carburated cars....
you guys rock, thanks for the info...
