I have a friend with a 3.7 as well. He has a tune, 3.73 gear, intake, O/R exhaust, and tracks it on slicks and sometimes skinnies. Best he has done is a 13.3, BUT his pop's has one with the same mods plus LTs and an aluminum DS and was the first V6 to hit 12.9 on just bolt-ons. Pretty sweet all around engine. I can post a picture/vid of the son actually lifting the driver/front tire off the ground for just a split second on launch, lol. Neither car traps very high however. In the 103-105 range. Anyway, good run OP!

Glad I didn't. Kind of nice to have some money to focus on the priorities past school. I'll get back into a toy at some point

What are you talking about cars are much more fun than school
. Haha all jokes aside mod that Vette should move out pretty well with full bolt ons. The LT1 might not be highly sought after as the LS1, but its still a die hard motor.

Yep, its nothing special. A far too conservative build imo. But for what it is it runs decent. A different head cam setup will probably be in place in the future.
After all the money sunk into my car it would be kind of silly to get rid of it. That and nobody wants an LT1 car now a days lol. Its still fun to suprise some ppl here and there. I'd like to have a CTS though.

Some junk compression robbing trickflows and 503 cam. I just said to hell with it, had it dyno tuned and have had some fun with it. Can always go bigger on the cam and get some better heads. Plus I have a 3 week old baby girl that took over as priority #1.
I've never ventured up to DSM, I used to live in Ottumwa. There wasn't ever much of a car scene in Otown.

Congrats on the baby girl! Glad to see she is your priority. I bet she already has you wrapped around that little finger of her's.
