Well, here it is........................................
So I have talked about it and talked about it. My buddy has a nice *** G8 with exhaust and I have been itching to line up the Slobalt with him.
He came by to pick up a tool and we joked about lining them up. After we agreed we were bored and had nothing better to do on this toasty/clear day, we decided to head out. We have us a nice rural patch of 1/2 mile road made specifically for a local guy that owns a farm and wont sell even though the housing has boomed. Rather then share the secret, lets just say it is never used except by the nice farmer![Happy](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_stretch.gif)
Slobalt: 4 door, GMS1 (GM stage kit that keeps warranty estimate adds 20hp/40tq) and muffler delete...NO BRAKE BOOSTING. Just hit the gas on the beep.....that's it besides my bald *** stock 225/50/18 contis![Icon Lol](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies2/icon_lol.gif)
G8: exhaust
Went on 3 beeps from around a 15-18 roll. Both of us in 1st with me at about 5k from that speed, so I needed 2nd about 2 seconds into the hit. As you can see, he hung for about a second![Huh](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/huh.gif)
We went from a stop too but I sucked at the vid (hello, no passenger and I got a stick-shift!) but I managed to get the launch thru 2nd gear. I pulled on the launch just as much as the roll so I apologize for missing the full run. Either way, I just wanted to show what power to weight means and for all you *****'s in your stock V8's, quit ignoring the lil slobalt throwin a few blow-offs trying to get your attention, you may be in for a surprise![Secret2](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/secret.gif)
Enjoy guys
15-18 roll
p.s. he never let off and when he peeked at his speedometer, I continued to pull. Ended a good 3-4 cars ahead.
