Wow, never heard of the rod-bolt issue. I don't really plan on tearing the motor apart for that. If it goes like that, I'd be pissed, but LS1s aren't so expensive these days. I've got 54k on the clock, now.
I just found out that I'll be going to Germany in half a year or so. Can't wait to see how it does out on the Autobahn. I'll bet I'm in for a surprise, but I'll give those Euro cars some American hell.

I have friend here who's girlfriend has a stock 06 goat m6 with 16,8xx on the clock, and from a 15 roll, it stayed dead even with her boyfriends intake, full exhaust 99 t/a. It's a bad *** car, just pretty heavy and shaped like a brick.

A lt1 defintley doesnt have more top end then a ls1 they are bottem end cars and not very good from a roll i kno i had 1 and i would lose to ls1s from a roll but walk them from a dig so a ls1 vette would defintly pull way harder on the top end

The Saturn Ion Redline, the supercharged one from factory is pretty peppy. I ran a guy with like a stg 3 kit on it (idk wtf that involves, lol) and 40 is his sweet spot where as it was my dead spot being an auto and he jumped out about 2-3 cars on my stock Formula but I ate him up on top end around 120-130. then we went from a 25 roll, my sweet spot and it was even up til around 50 where my auto shifts into 2nd and I started pulling.
Very nice runs thou. great write up too!

Yep, I'd say that's just about how my race went with the Saturn. Very surprising to me that it wasn't far from stock (probably just a couple minor things and a little extra boost.
