Weight is about the same as your Z0.

1.8 roller rockers are not bolt-ons lol. And you shouldn't put 1.8 rre's on an ls6.... The springs break with stock cam. You have upgraded springs also? If not you're asking for trouble. And still don't believe your mph unless you're running in some -d/a. And it's still a stretch

I think he's been running it a while, sweet99. It seems he knows his car pretty well. Where did you read the don't run 1.8 rockers thing? Kind of sounds like the guys on Mustang forums that say too big of a TB kills torque Do you know guys who have broken their springs with the stock cam?
On another note, have you not ever taken a look at his sig and decided to ask questions before now? Haven't you noticed the band of cheerleaders always batting for his team? His car gets discussed quite a bit, usually because he tells people they should be trapping 130+ with a bolt-on golf cart.

I just want to know what his average times are. He says how often it does between 129 and 131, I want to know how often he hits 11.0Xs since he gives people grief all the time about their times. Like when Lawhead ran 10's, then the next time out he wasn't so fortunate and had a sucky night with 11.4s or whatever it was and it was IMMEDIATELY called an 11.4 car by him and OVA1.

Some considers roller rockers a bolt on some don't. Sure it's debatable.....like so many other things can be. Guys are changing cam timing these days with a tune. That has way more of a dramatic effect than a set of rockers.
It's no stretch to get to that mph. Just takes the right pieces in the right places.

There is a thread on here I'm involved in about the 1.8's. Some claim they don't work. The funny part is ls7's have 1.8 rockers.......figure that out.
They say the roller rocker weighs more and cause's float. I say take the right steps/combo to eliminate float.
Mike's no pom pom cheerleader.....but he does wear thongs......lmao
I may take it one of those tracks now that the fab 9 is in it. No use to go there with the 10bolt. It would've just broke another axle.

What some of you don't seem to realize about d/a is that other than in extreme d/a's that it makes little difference. In order for d/a to make the difference that it could be calculated to you have to use the whole track. A 1/2 throttle launch like I do don't use the whole track. Another problem with great d/a's is it's usually cold and the track gives up. Anything that screws with your run basically eliminates the d/a factor.
