The 12.08 run would have been easy 11's but the car has this weird issue that neither me nor my tuner can find the cause to. I'll nail 3rd and the car lays over and cuts power for a few seconds, then regathers itself. It did it, of course, on the run where I had my best launch.

I did a 5k dump as well and the car smacked the bumpstops so that was a waste of a pass.

Not let down by my times whatsoever being that I've never ran the car on the track nor on the setup it has now. And my car is LBO. It's not a FBO setup.

Are you mad that I'd humiliate your old bolt on set up, and give your Whipple a run for its money? And the road was flat, just like that noodle you call a brain.



Troof. They had all sorts of trouble with my Mystic Z.

I genuinely don't care to argue with a bully such as yourself. I was earnestly confused as to why you jumped on me in a rude response after i said "troof".

SBF and LS would be closer honestly they're closer than a SBC and an LS1

I am guessing you got into LS engines when most LT1's were getting ragged out, just like the poor LS1 combinations you see posted here all the time these days. As these platforms get cheaper to obtain, they tend to get modded out with ebay parts and are just plain mismatched combos. As a result you end up with heads cam 6.0's getting beat by cars that trap 114.

These guys simply don't know what a fcar is capable of.
