yeah man just the tune...
car went 13.0x @ 106/7 and had like 100 lbs of un-needed gas in it (3/4 tank), figure with a 1/4 tank it would be good for a 12.9x @ ~108 pass. i smashed my rear bumper when the car lost it on a patch of ice...nothin bad, but insurance $$$ to do a custom corsa catback will be nice (custom x-pipe to dual corsa blacks to 3" maybe 3.5" tips). also gonna just have them throw on a gxp rear bumper (no badges obviously) cause i like the rear lower valance better. and the bumper bar is gettin cut off for some free hp.
haha diablo no way till after my intake atleast...i remember you feathering the gas against me when the car was stock...car needs a good 50 more hp and you off the bottle before me and you will go again...but any time you ever wanna run up and down 222 and look for some victims shoot me a pm.

i had it custom tuned by racekrafters (add .com)...they have been in the LSx game for a couple decades and just pulled every last bit of hp out of the stock computers...picked up 40 rwhp from the tune, the highflow cats and custom cat-back goes on very soon...i'll be sure to post up gains...
and on a last note i would never post the story with exact details of the car/race if it were not being true...i could almost guarantee that the t/a driver is a member on here...oh well, like i said before it was crazy fun

Sounds reasonable, if the firebird wasn't very modded. I played with a g8 gt here in town the other day. We went twice from a 25 roll and by 85-90, I had 2-3 lengths on him. All I had was the lid and catback at the time. As far as I know, he was stock. BTW, sure sounds like your tune woke that car the hell up.
