nice so having a stalled tranny really does make a pretty good difference. what rpm stall you running? very high?

Yep, Christine is decently quick in 1st, then "ok" in 2nd, then kind of a dog in 3rd, so its def a dig car, and not for roll races.

I believe it is around a 3600 - 3800 stall or so. Not sure though since the tranny and stall were part of a trade for a Big Block 454 I used to have in Christine (My Caprice). Cruising down the highway it turns about 3500 - 4000 rpm just keeping up with traffic and is going through the "big end" of the 1320 at around 5700 rpm or so in top gear (3rd) with my 3:73 rear end.

DAAANG. I should have came back and checked this!

WHen I raced the LS1, I used nitrous but not on the entire race.. if you watch carefully you can see where I sprayed it at.

I never had a 70 shot, it was a 40 shot.

I did spray the Lincoln, and I did get beaten..pretty badly, however if I remember I was really low on pressure that night? ...but I dont remember for sure. I thought I said something.

I wasnt trying to fab the story at all LoL... Everyone told me he had added nitrous, which is the only reason running a 13.2 at the track, then dropping it to a 12.7 at the track would make any sense to me at all.

haha I wasnt trying to fab the story up at all... I was actually trying to show how well the Caprice moved haha its like my favorite car. To watch a car that is usuallyt urned into a big donked POS.. be turned into a monster is awesome!

LoL, sorry if my wording throws anyone off here.

the Z is gone now, but I will be looking for a rematch in my new mustang. ;-)
