I saw that last night. They put a 125 shot on a AWD Talon and it went 8.1 in the 1/8. That was a stupid show I think. Why don't they make a LS1 modding show?

Going to the track tomarrow and expecting high 10's on the current motor.
New motor should do 10's without the nitrous.

sweet right now virtually untuned i've been 10.70's @ 125 on motor but there's a whole lot more in it. and i'm expecting at least 5.70's on the bottle in the 1/8. right now i have it so detuned it's not even funny because two of the local 1/8th mile tracks run a 6.0 heads up class. so i have it tuned to about 5.90's so i have some room to play catch if i get a bad light and some room to sandbag if i'm way out. i just enjoy the heads up class because bracket racing gets boring when you sit at the tree for 3 secs waiting on a mustang it feels like forever.

Anyone is welcome to come play.
