Yup, hot weather sux. I love a cold crisp morning drive. The LS1 responds so well to cold dry air.

 

Isn't there usually a 2-3k difference alone in price between an 04 to an 05/06 model?

Yeah the 6.0 is faster from the factory but you basically pay more for 30-40hp.....(i would think the 5.7's are underated), bigger brakes and a different wheel package if it has it. Everything else is identical.. Get a tune and cam on that thing, you might not notice a big hp difference from the tune but you will notice better times at the track.

 

Fall sunday morning track session with mid 70's temps with low humidity about a 1400 DA i ran 13.1 @ 106

Same track, early may saturday afternoon 97 degrees with a mid level humidity, 13.99 @ 100. ABout a 2600 da.

 

let me know when and where.

 

you ever go to the arlington meet?

 

i hear nitrous can reverse the effects of hot weather. but idk, i just read that on the internet somewhere.

 

Nitrous creates its own atmosphere basically since it comes in at below freezing temperatures.

FWIW I dynoed 868rwhp in 40-50* weather (SAE numbers) and dynoed again in 95+* heat and made 830rwhp on the same boost. Heat KILLS turbo/supercharged cars.

 

^so what your saying is you need some nitrous.

 

2 of the BIG bottles son!

 

im ready for our run

 

They are suppose to be installing my windshield one day coming up soon. Which means the car will be up at the office. I'll shoot you a PM when its up here so we can some fun runs and grab some lunch.

 

I heard if it's raining or there is ice on the roads, it's hard to get traction. Though, I think that's just a myth.

 

AWD Ross... AWD... Wait I don't have that anymore... Not to worry though the ol Z71 has 4WD, but it doesn't even spin on wet pavement in the rain or snow... So technically I think we have just busted that myth!

 

Gonna have to be a day after work. I drive on drag radials every so often. But I don't like leaving the bottles in my car not with this weather anyway.

 

havnt gone but i think i can make it out to one... let me know when it is and when your going and ill show up. oh and might have some nice new mods by then so do you have a cam?

 

nope just created a misfire so it sounds that way. lol jk yeah i do

 

I thought you fucked your car up trying to beat me last wed night??? lol
