So you coasted the entire last 1/8 mile and still ran in the 12s...?

yes, last night i got to run it a little closer to the 1/8 mark and ran 7.70 in the 1/8 but i didn't discover that was the problem until today.

if you listen to the video you can hear me at the 1/8 mile mark let off then after that i shifted to neutral and coasted

I went or a dyno run about a year ago, when i got there the guy was tuning a mustang afer cam swap and was very frustrated and said the cams just werent worth it at all on that car...something like a 10whp gain

probably the hot rod cams, they gain 10-20 hp and are mainly for sound , some cams do benefit in the 60 hp range, comp xfi series 127600's, 127500's also work great but they require vct mod for a lockout and springs but thats no biggie for the gain you get.

this guys car is a stock bottom end , heads and cams car, 5 speed and has weight reduction but still shows that these little motors can still do good things just takes more effort and money in most cases. forgot to mention he dumps this thing at 7,000 off the line

LOL @ the Ford nutswinger troll with the turd 3v talking ****. I figured he would at least have a 5.0 and thus have a dog in this fight, but no. Its the 300HP warrior. Lawlz. So hows that 2011 Mustang, Camaro, and Challenger 300+hp N/A V6 bitterness treating your forgotten pile?

Like them or not LS2 GTOs will be painfully relevant for many years to come. Most people have already completely forgot about your sad sauce 3v 300hp POS.

Bolt ons AND nitrous and your hitting bolt on LS2 GTO times and STILL talking ****? Bwhahahahaha.

Stupid really does multiply on here..

Another jackass that can't read or just isn't capable?

Didn't they stop making the GTO? Not once but twice now LOL. OH yes they did... OH and my heap is yes still being produced. You really are stupid enough to come in here bashing my car when this thread isn't even about my car..... So now for someone to make a comment or valid argument they need not have knowledge but own the car in question? Go take your stupid imbread *** somewhere where people care to listen to your pointless bullshit.

Unlike you my car wasn't discontinued it was upgraded and the 300hp v6 is pretty cool and no it doesn't bother me that it has the same power as my STOCK mustang.

If you insist on making a point please do as all you have done is show exactly how dumb you really are.

Oh by the way genius what does my car run since you know im in the bolt on ls2 gto times?

The new GTO was only a planned 3 year run to sell a few more Monaros to get the money's worth out of the factory in Austraila.

Nothing more or less. They made whatever they were able to spare as Pontiac GTO's. Hence only about 40K cars in 3 yrs. About 17K in 2004, 10,000 in 2005, and about 13,000 in 2006.

Then the platform was switch to the G8/Camaro.

Thanks for the info, i dod some digging to see what was different when you call it a Monaro and i came up with some cool info and one pic/ design i really like, i believe it was called a Holden Coupe for 2008 , look very similar in my opinion to the G8 in the front but somewhat reminds me of a BMW on the side. Either way this one i like based on the one pic i seen so far.
