Cliffs : hydro-locked

And just so you know the car did feel way diffrent once we put that new ls1 motor in it.
Illustration added for effect ;-)

I'm the G8 driver, and I haven't taken it to the drag strip, just AutoX. I dyno'd the G8 with CAI and Tune and put down 330HP/340TQ. Haven't dynod since headers, but others with smaller headers (shorties) and not as good of a tune are running 12.8x/12.9x.

PRE HEADERS DYNO:



As for our run, I got the slight jump, and we were door to door until 95-100, then he started to pull on me right as we had to shut it down... never could get in a 2nd run...

Another thread for this really? Who cares. We know the gt was brand new and therefor he obviously couldnt drive it to its full potential and its just one damn video. That doesnt make the gt slower. Time will tell. Yea its nice to want to see your car win but if not at the end of the day they are both just cars, nothing else

This is exactly correct. Although probably more like 12.7-13.1 @109-111. I've gone 12.9 @110 in mine with those mods but had some tuning issues that have since been worked out(hitting rev limiter at end of track bc wouldnt shift into 4th. Figure it will do 12.8's at least now.
