You're right as I could probably tuck the TD's up tighter. Don't think I'll be doing anything soon. I have no problem being the odd ball. Lol.

It's ok you can blame it all on me. The front end does jump around. That's 17 year old shocks & springs for ya with some hp. Still rides great though.

I've thought about things. Hey that's stock for ya. Nothing is broken lol.
well....it is your fault. You own the car.

Those orange decarbons were junk when new. A good set of bilstiens would do wonders for it in all round performance.....or konis. All that flopping around is using power and slowing acceleration. So again you fault for being a idiot and thinking 17yr old shocks are good enough for the forces from 500whp.

Yah I know ......... but man a proper set of shocks and springs really make an Fbody come alive. I might be coming down that way for a half mile event in January be cool to get some runs in with my slow boat.

Lol. Well it's good enough for me. Obviously not good enough to be in the hiho crew. Good thing I don't mod my car for other people. It makes me smile when people talk down about my ride.

if you like performance cars it's actually not good enough for you. It's jist another lame excuse.....or you can't afford to get nee shocks. Which is fine......but don't use that excuse and good enough because they're not.

WTF. Lol. So now I'm making up excuses? You brought up the suspension jumping around on shifts. Not me idiot. Dude my car is not a race car like yours. It's a freakin stock car with some bolt ons. So tell me what's good enough for me then? Lol.

My car is no where near a race car like you think. Just because it would drag the **** outta you will a bolt on ls6 doesn't mean it's a race car. But thanks for thinking it takes race car esque stuff to get there.

I brought up the car jumping around because it does.....idiot

i recommended bilsteins. Not because they're a race car shock but because yours are wore out/or the car just needs more damping for that much power. And that is about the best shock out there for the $ for a street car. I didn't really recommend the konis like i put on mine because you would be to ******* stupid to adjust them. It's highly obvious the less **** you do to a car the better off the car will be.

btw....of the shelf bilsteins are what we put on phils race car lol. I ran the stock bilsteins that came on my car to 11.0s

You have no idea what I think moron. Keep thinking you do though. Lol.

Don't tell anyone the settings they were on when you did the 1.2. You might start something. Lol

they seem to keep up fine in these vids. Maybe gm should do something so Camaro can keep up with boost.

well we know they won't be asking you about your 383 combo to run 11.9s and 1.8 60s......unless they want to know what not to do.

it's not the issue you think it is to keep up with boost. But anything can run well with boost......even a 5cyl rs3.

It would be cool to run. Have to say. From a dig I would have to try & catch you. From a roll probably different. Bunch of friends down here with different ls combos. Waiting for buddy to get his 4 door cts-v w/ 418 to be done. All for fun homie.

Buster did pull you....he did trap 120.

Idk....ask phil. You be better off staying away from that thing. Total waste of time for you to run that car. But then you would know what a good running ls3 looks like.

Whatever you say. He gained about a 1/2 car on my 2-3 shift. Then I didn't fall back. Yes I did loose. Did he have the same mods at that time? I'm not positive. Also he's still on his street tire tard. I gained 3mph when I put a tire on my car. He's got even more tq to put down than me too.

K. Uh no I'm not scared of that car or your junk. Racing is not a waste of time for me. To much BS is a waste of time. I know you call that one h/c ls3 I ran slow because of it's track times down here also. Right?

dougy likes to leave out that buster was on street tires and couldn't launch the car hard when it went 120

The pray manual car with basically same mods as buster and a drag pack went 11.0@124.

Edit actually here is that cars mods , so buster has better intake and TB
My ported stock IM/TB, Kooks headers, RF dry, my FF sensor and tuning. 28" drag pack.
