10-4. Nice car and vids BTW.

Livernois fuel system
Nitrous outlet fogger (200)
LNC-003 retard/2 step
Misc rear suspension (tubular arms, bushings, etc)
Whatever else I'm forgetting

Drag pack for the strip, but I haven't run it yet. Tracks open april 16th, going to see if I cant break some driveline parts.
I actually made 470 before the heads/tb/ported intake and pulley. Those together netted 35 more

Haters gonna hate, but the kill happened

Nice kill! One of those 2011 GT500 put down 481 to the wheels with 500 miles on it at a shop I went to (right after my pullied 03 put down 430), seems to run strong. Nice set up on the camaro, good thing you didn't spray or he might have cried.

A guy I work with has a 2011 GT500. I have to say my LS6 swap TA felt faster. Whether it really was or not I don't know but I wasn't in awe of the GT-500. I'd like to have one for sure. Maybe they are just set up to not seem as fast as they are, or they aren't all that damn fast. Who knows, but the seat of the pants feel I wasn't impressed.

^Passenger seat always feels different than driving, though I usually feel like riding shotgun makes cars feel faster than my own. My friend just bought a G8GT (stock) and it felt much faster than my car did.

I'm not a good passenger at all.

It was likely faster on the track than my TA was but not by much. I beat a few 2010 and earlier Gt500's with the TA. It damn sure didn't feel that fast to me though and I have been in quite a few fast cars.

Let us know how it does at the track, that setup should freakin rip!

Are you the kind of passenger who goes and grips the shifting arm of the driver every time he gets on it, or the kind who keeps pushing down on the gas with your cane

I don't grab the driver but I do find myself looking for the brake pedal and making comments about how shitty they drive. My wife hates it when I drink and she has to drive. As far as the cane goes, don't make me beat you with it.

Making comments about your cane seems to be the best way to get a fast reply from you

Seriously though, I always find myself asking people with fast cars to take me for a ride, but then when I'm in the passenger seat, cranking 100+mph with someone I just met, I find myself second guessing that decision.

LMAO! I can't let an opportunity to talk a little smack get by. Yea I have second guessed myself a couple of times getting in another person's car. I have a good friend on here that has had a couple of damn fast cars and I got in the car with him, I trust him with my life but his car made me question that.
