Few races last night in my h/c ls1 my setup, h/c z28 420hp 390tq, stock rear m6.
First race, from a stop, 300c srt8 boltons 125 shot
He got my out of the hole slightly, i bogged it down to 2k and had to play catchup passed him by a hair at the top of 3rd gear.
2nd race 03-04 cobra, unknown mods, likely all stock
launched out on him hard, gave up in 2nd gear with a bus legnth
3rd race, from a 2nd gear 50mph roll, racing the 300c and a LS2 gto, likely on some spray. GTO gets the jump, i follow suit, 300c went into the rear view quickly, and the beginning or middle of 4th i begin to pass the gto.
4th race, geared up 4;30 9 inch stock ss that makes 350 to the wheels. Launched out on me hard, passed him barely at the top of 3rd gear. Closest race by far.
that is all

nah havent tracked it. With stock gears i'd guess i'd run a low 12 MAYBE high 11. Im still on the 10 bolt. I need a 9 inch soon. The cold weather really helps keep my 10 bolt living because 555r 315's dont hook that great and have a nice amount of spin to them.

Yep me too, thats why I havent tracked her yet. I still want some 4:10s even though she'll break soon. And once she does i'll be paying off a 9 inch for quite some time.

Love the 4.30 geared 350whp guy... it's not all about hp #'s.. driving skill, tires and gearing trumps whp (most times) from a dig.
I should also add suspension setup to that equation.
