Well, tomorrow probably. I'm sure these guys will be running their mouths again. The fawk was un-tuned against these cars and now is tuned. Picked up 22 peak hp after baseline and gobs of trq under the curve. Car is built for spray but hasn't seen it... yet.

Dont need to go look at the "drag times", I have been around H/C and Cam only LS1's since 2005 and I know more then 20+ that have never seen higher then 116 traps. All depends on the setup

I saw multiple H/C LS1's run 118+ in San Antonio Raceway. Hardly the fastest track in the country and that was in the summer time (90*+ heat). Oh, the year was 2000 and 2001. Sounds like your elevation really sucks, people can't drive, the tune is horrid or all three.

If you know LS1's well then you should know how easy it is to trap higher than 116 with H/C. After all, in your sig you even claim to trap 113 with bolt-ons. Everyone else besides you must of had poor running cars.

FWIW, my old 346 Formy trapped 121 consistently in the 1/4 N/A.

I went 112-113MPH at **** slow tracks n/a with just bolt ons full weight in an auto in heat. 116MPH with heads/cam is terrible
