Thanks man! Now that I've moved up in the car rankings I've got to run these monsters instead of the bolton GT's, Sti's, Fbodies, etc. Now I'm once again the slow guy lol.
You mean once I got into third gear: it's my achilles heel. I think I got something wrong with my car related to either 3rd gear or the mph: I destroyed a new CTS-V in multiple low roll to 80-90mph runs, then ran into another one (possibly same guy) during a 65mph run where it only dropped to 3rd and it took me until the 4th gear shift to get to his door after spotting him a car. Then with this vid and the vid versus Diet Coke where it's only after I hit 3rd gear that they suddenly leap ahead like I put the brakes on...
Need to get her on a dyno and find out what the heck is going on.

lol If I got a 4L80e I would be slower by around 15-20rwhp. It's a bigger, more power sapping transmission based off the old Turbo 400 where the 4L60/65 trans are Turbo 350 based.
Nope. His just got finished and I haven't been to the track yet.

get a 200r4 then... 4L60's are ticking time bombs for the power they are suppose to handle. Well they are decent but still.
