Just some quick runs from last night, plus a little wheel pull on the street!

Hope you enjoy!

Nice video. 5.0 was impressive against the GTO. And that ws6 was pretty nasty.

The WS6 has almost 300lbs out, though with the 9", nitrous and Nano bottles suspension, etc. it's not that but the weight definitely seemed to make a difference. Plus, me & him were probably 300lbs together, where the 408 car was probably between 400-500lbs between driver and passenger, plus his iron block.

Yea GTO needed driver mod, everytime he shifted he 5.0 would creep up more and more. With a good driver the GTO would have walked.

Used the rest of my pimp juice last night trying to get that wheel up. Samsel has 2 gallons though, and Shane has 1 as well.

No, Ben is not good...he doesn't tune the LSX stuff though but quick story. Andrew (Mustang in the vid and Five.slow a few posts up) had his 5.0 tuned by Ben himself. Ben's dyno is known to read high, yet he could only manage to 390rwhp out of it, when on normal dynos, 5.0 will see an easy 400-410 out of what he has done. On Ben's dyno, I bet Andrew would see 425+ since it reads so high. He used to run within 1-2 cars ahead of a bolt-on LS2 GTO, but now with an email tune from a good company, it runs right next to a good running cammed LS2 GTO...that should tell you how much better it runs.


Shane can tune for ya. Other guy I would recommend is Dave Steck. Either one of those guys would be good for ya! Shane tuned Samsels car btw, among many others.

Josh Bommer does the Gen III LSX stuff at Craven. I've heard good stuff about him, but also heard his driveability isn't the hottest. Shane can tune and does good driveability unlike Bommer. Other guy I would recommend is Dave Steck. Either one of those guys would be good for ya! Shane tuned Samsels car btw, among many others.
Josh doesn't Tune at Ben's anymore and hasn't in awhile.

Nice, Mite have to do it. I am jamming the cam in this weekend but need more money to get it tuned. Shane how much you charge? Otherwise I am trailering it to KC. Also who is the owner of the camaro? Was Samsel spraying during the runs?
