LOL...So true about people who judge how fast a car is by looking to see what the speedo goes to.

I should put one in mine that tops out at 55, then everyone would think it was slow...

What are you, 16 with your underwear showing above your baggy pants? No wonder, you need to get out more.

OP: Nice slaughter. Guy should have known better talking smack to an LS1. You never know.

Very nice kill. You're basically running the same setup I'm looking at, only I want the Dominator 2 cam in there. It will be a while before I can afford to get rid of these junk heads, though.

Do you have current times and numbers?

I've only run one SRT-8 Charger and it was a slaughter obviously (pretty sure it was stock or close to it). I never got a chance to talk to him, but just from looking at him I got the impression that he was cocky as hell. And then he did the fly-by and never slowed down after I put quite a few cars on him and hit the brakes.

Every LS1 guy I met has been a respectable gentleman, quite sophisticated, well spoken and quite dashing, I may add. Except one time, at band camp.....

haha good kill man. I love putting cocky people to shame. It makes my day. Sounds like you have a nice setup and i have no clue what that guy was thinking??? With your car idleing like a dragster, he has to know your car has something done to it, not just straght pipes with a misfire on #7 and #2.lol.

Yea bro it sounds like we might have a good race on our hands. I'm in the South Florida area if you ever want a race. The track has been closed here for months, it's undergoing a total make over. I haven't been able to run it since it was almost stock. Did you lock the converter on the Dyno? My tuner said if I could lock mine I would have like 50 more HP at the wheels. I had fuel pump issues also. Now it runs great. Thanks for the compliment.

Where do you stay at in New Orleans? I have never seen your car and I'm always at the street races. From the times I see you run at the track you could whip most of the guys I see with ls1's that don't know what they are doing. What I mean by that is these guys with mismatched combos of heads,cam,and intake and only running low 12's and they think they are doing something. Also put the spray on your car and you will be in the 10's then just hang on for the ride.

No recent track times as of yet. I am about to put it under the knife so I can mount the 28" tall slick on the back. But I will update you all when I do get some times in. Should be within the next 2 weeks. Allan thinks with my current setup I should run really low 11's in the heat and high 10's in good air. I guess we'll see but not holding my breath.. LOL.

I live clean across town from you. I live in Destrehan. Sometimes I go hang out at the lake front on Sundays with a few other guys I know. You should come out there sometimes.. PM me some of the spots you guys go racing at and after I get the slicks mounted I'll be sure to show up. I most likely know some of the guys that go. I just haven't went in a while because the last few times I went no one would run me. LOL

Me and my business partner have been racing out there for years, more him than me. I'll let you know when something goes down out there. We WILL get you a race if you want.

Ya, I'll let you know next time I go out there. I am going to try and cut the inner fenders so I can mount my new slicks on the car Friday. So if the weathers nice I should be out there Sunday. I went out there last Sunday on my Harley but no one was out there.

So funny. Stereotyping on an LS1 site. Typical teenage punks.
