Good kills.

Kinda surprised you didn't pull the Jeep harder with a cam. Those things are turds.

Your car runs! The GTO was unimpressive..Those SRT trucks arent 'turd' on the 0-60 though...But at higher speed the weight kills em.

Gto was on 5lbs and really low timing. It's gonna be tuned for 15lbs when done.

OP--I didn't even realize you are in Colorado. So you get to deal with the shitty elevation like I do. Not many people in the SR&K section seem to be located much above sea level.

What does your TA run at the track?

Not to mention that they are shaped like a brick. Haha

The fact that this was at elevation just makes that GTO look even less impressive.

My ta ran 13.60 @ 104 with headers/ catback only.

I have ran a 13.6 @ 107 with cam but traction and my tranny have gotten the best of me.

Gto was basically in limp mode to make it to that cruise. She'll open up a bunch with more tuning and more boost. Lets just say that's the closest I'll ever get to her haha

I bet it sucks to hear about cars knocking on 11's with similar mods as you just because they are at sea level. I know I hate the difference in potentials.

A local guy has an APS twin turbo GTO and on 6-8ish lbs that is a 120-122 mph car. Stock block to boot. So the potential is definitely there.

Oh hell yea, the general rule of thumb is shave off a second and that's about right, I just haven't had a best run in with cam. My tranny has me second guessing my shifts since it was going in between gears when shifting to third. Then there's always the rear end fear that keeps me from launching. My best 60' times have been 2.1 lol. Terrible.

If my H/C/I car ran that poorly I would be pissed. (the white z28?)

I liked the compilation of videos put together. The ending caught me off guard, even thought it was stupid at first. However that quickly changed. FAT KITTY CAT! lol

da equals about .1 for every 1000'. You would have to go from 10,000' to sea level to pick up 1 second. Less than that for boosted cars....about 1/2.

It's a rule of thumb man. Our da varies, most of the time it's above 7000. Don't really matter, if you think you're the expert on it then live by it.
