Default New Fastest Bolton G8...
The record was held by Dave (Drugs) for a long time... 12.13@113.55 1.74

We went out to the track with Lenny's (landsarmstrong) G8 and he went 12.103@111.40 with a 1.66 60'. Full weight!

Mods are OBX headers/midpipe, FTI 3600, Vararam intake, FAST 102mm, Camaro 3.45, underdrive pulley, and drag radials.

That's awesome congrats!

I have the same 1/8th and 1/4 trap speeds, looks like a converter will help me better my 12.48@111 in the Camaro.

Yeah Lennys going back out next month on a cooler day, smaller tire, and drop it down from full weight to see if he can hit the elusive 11.9x. Car has more in it, he ran 12.10 accidentally going into 5th gear... oops.

Would probably do better if the cheap OBX headers were replaced with something not made in China...

What fun would there be if everyone used the same set up. It's good to see what works and what doesn't so that everyone can decide what works best for them and their budget (or wives)

Interesting and good to know, I stand corrected. Thanks for the insight.
