Bottom line is this. No one knows what boost level the car was actually making during that video. The owner doesn't, the tuner doesn't, and Krazy doesn't. I may datalog it next time we work on it, if we ever need to change the tune again.
All anyone really knows is what other cars typically produce with the stock pulley and with a different size pulley. For all I know the belt was slipping and there is another 50-100 hp in it.

As far as the race goes, anyone driving an automatic, supercharged, and at-all-modded LS1 running a 12.2 needs to either hand over the keys to anyone else with a license (including my grandmother) or upgrade to something like a TT Viper so they can finally hit that 11.9...
Plus the GT500 jumped way before the third beep (not that it actually matters on the street).

Yeah unfortunately. Im kicking myself daily for selling it.
As for the tune and all, I picked up almost 50 rwhp when I had mine done. I had a mail order tune done to just be able to drive it without it dumping so much fuel it blew out spark plugs within 10 minutes of driving. I then drove it to Kentucky and had it on the dyno and tuned and it picked up that much. I dont know much about his setup but mine picked up that much N/A so I can it making an even bigger difference on a blown car.
Anyway he needs to get the tune straight and then run you again so there are no excuses on either side. Im not a brand loyal person myself so I dont care one way or the other. I actually thought about buying a Cobra after I sold my SS but couldnt find one near me I wanted.

that wasn't a procharged t/a. anyone seen the video with the bolt on procharger ls1 vs a viper? t/a pulls the viper easily. and you're not gonna tell me that the gt500 is faster than the viper, thoes things are piggys.

You'd have to be an idiot to pay mid-50's for a Mustang.
And considering pullied/tuned GT500's have gone mid-11's, and this F-body went 12.2, I'm not sure why there's doubt about the vid. It was also from a roll...how much boost was the WS6 making at that point? Point is, probably not much compared to the instant boost the GT500 is going to make.

How come when people lose a car arguement they always decide to throw the price of the cars around? 
"Whatever man you kicked my *** by like 20 buses but your car costs more so hahaha, whos on top now?"
In that case i guess a new Z06 is a waste of money.
Money is all relative, to you 75K for a car might be a lot, but to me it might not be, so the price arguement is pointless.
