I know from experience that more power doesn't always make your track time better. I had an 05 skittle with the stage3 kit. And the best time I got out of it was 8.79 in the 1/8. But I trapped over 89 mph! Front-wheel drive for the loss. And that was on BFG drag radials. And I still spun half through first and shifting into 2nd and 3rd. It was NASTY from a roll though!!!

Yes so true. My friends built SRT4 ran a 13.7 but straight murdered me off a roll.

I went to the track last Saturday night and best a 14.1 @106.02MPH. 2.4 60ft and major wheel hope that scared me to death. I don't know how to fix it other than lowering springs.

i hear ya......thats a mean trap!
my best (14.3 @ 103.5) was with a 2.45 sixty......hoppin all the way.

scary but i stayed in it.
if i caught the NLS into 2nd, it was for sure a 13 sec run :-(

I agree the LNF is much better than the LSJ, I'm just a sucker for whine, that's all. Anything with an eaton/whipple sounds beautiful from the front to me.

Built SRT? I've seen stock ones hit high 13s. Built ones usually are in the 12s IMHO.

06 6.0 GTO

Yea well he ran a 13.7................. at 117mph. REALLY had some problems putting the power down.

Even stock ones are amazing off of roll races. And what JUST a boost controller can do to even an 03 (smaller injectors) is simply amazing IMO.

the s/c sounds awesome......but im biased :-)

the turbo screamin for air and the pfffft u are rewarded with on a perfect no-lift-shift are heavenly.

when i raced (and pulled) my buddies lt1 vette, he heard it over his car. especially the BOV between shifts...
he jumped on launch and i screamed by thru 3rd.

damn, all this talk about speed.
i bet now, no one messes with me now that i am tuned :-(

06 6.0 GTO

OMG tell me about it, a few years back when buddy picked up his SS T/C cobalt we went on a cruise of sorts and i was the driver.

So many things amazed me. In any gear when i floored it the boost would build so fast and it would just pull! And the sucking sound sounded so so cool.

And the No lift shift is simply the ****.

But what amazed me most is the handling. It is straight up good. And not good for a FWD car but good for any car period. On the highway it just gave me so much confidence on the on and off ramps and etc.

Great little car.

I was going to put a SRT-4 engine/turbo in my 99 R/T before I sold it. Wish I did it now and kept it as a DD.

06 6.0 GTO

Those swaps are ridiculous on the highway and return some amazing MPG.

Ke^in

Probably dangerous too. I'd get blown all over the road in my R/T all the time when on I-77.

if you enjoyed that ride......you have to drive a tuned one :-)

and its a very confident corner carver....regardless of the wheel drive.
check out any stats on road courses and it beats much more expensive/powerful cars

Over 6 mph increase and a second faster in the 1/4 mile! Looks like your mods are proving worth the $$. Great gains, I bet you suprise the hell out of people with that thing.

I ran into new problems though. Wheel hop in a dangerous way. Im going to have to worry about how to get it planted. Lowering it and putting better mounts is what I hear make the difference. from a roll the thing moves out. But I lose traction in 1st and 2nd.

06 6.0 GTO

Do you have the optional LSD?

ozzy1

i can relate to that, except i don't have a stg3. i'm just a stg1 with boltons and a tune. my best 1/8th was a 8.5 @ 89 spinning through 1st and 2nd on bfg drag radials.

camaro98z28

Nope.
