If we are getting technical... the slp catback IS stock. Its just not on every production model (optional). It flows more then the standard catback. The SLP lid was known to be junk. If it did offer more power...youre talking 2-3 hp.

This car also DIDNT have an LS6 intake. It had an LS1 intake. The difference between the manifolds had bigger gains then the difference between the worst and best catback.


Im not taking sides here. Im just simply saying what Ive learned through the years of having both GM/Ford cars. If i had to label an LS1 4th gen with a round-about ET. I would call them 13.0 cars. He had a lot of passes that day that went from 13.0-13.2... but he had 2 passes that went 12.9. His 12.9 was also a 1.77 60 ft. He actually never duplicated that 60ft again even on a DR because he didnt want to break the rear end. And IMO, a 1.77 is stellar for a 10 bolt. Thats about as good as youre gonna get.

That means 300 of you turd furd guys could have a good run with us......while the rest of you got drug. I'll take those odds. You miss me? I know you furd guys like to post glory runs. But up until very recently just about every furd I have seen under performs at the track when compared to the mags. The gm stuff I have been around typically over performs. There were other reasons too. But they could've come up with something other than that junk *** SSR to fill in the gap. GTO's should've been a Chevelle. GM paid the price for not making a Camaro.
So mag times are fair according to you, but since I posted evidence right in front of your nose showing an f body sucking it up, you hate this and you retreat like the little bitch you are and cling onto one mag Check mate. Keep looking like a fool. 13.6-14.6 cars. Thanks!

And didn't Evan run a 12.3 or 12.4 in an '03 Cobra? We can either use hero runs, average times, or times with a good driver in good conditions. Don't put a hero run against an average, or even an average against good/good Doug.

Bottom line is what it really comes down to... is the driver. It is and always will be the most important part of how well a car does or does not run. Heres a good comparison for ya...

This car made 50whp more then that red one did. And this was his ONLY pass to hit 11.9. There was nothing wrong with the car or a bad setup. Both cars on the same dyno... the black one made more power everywhere (custom cam with same bolt ons). But the drive difference made it extremely EXTREMELY close... even on the roll.

First off, I would like to thank Jesus and my parents for getting me here!...lmao as if you're famous or something.

Stick to posting kills...we don't need your Oscar acceptance speech every time your car does something new.
LOL! I think many of us are aware of his excessive "look at me" type posts, but I think the dude is just genuinely excited to share his projects. Even if it is excessive at times, if you have nothing positive to say or add, just dont read the F'n threads.

I remember his "resurrected" thread, he kept commenting excessively almost as if to keep the thread bumped so people could see it around the clock.
It is what it is, just dont read it if he annoys you, lol, simple.

Stock lid is garbage compared to the slp black wing. Most catbacks offer more power than stock.


I have gone 13s in many stock 96-98 Cobras. Mike Smith,Bob Cosby,Barry Shepard,N20 Pete ,Mod father,Jerry Green,Evan Smith went faster than me. If you cant run 13s in one you can't drive or the car is messed up. I have never seen a 12 second stock Ls1 Fbody ever.

You may have less to reply to than you would think. It seems this got well off topic in no time.

A friend went 12.9 in his bone stock 02 t/a. Another friend went 12.9 with just free mods in his 00 t/a. I wish I woulda left mine Camaro stock a little longer. I think it coulda got there to with some practice on my end.
