What kind of baggin gears we talking about? Shifting so fast he's ratcheting on the shift, similar to pulling back or pushing forward of a ratchet automatic shifter? If thats what we are talking about. Ill take the bet!

He should have no problem doing it. Powell's best 60' was a 1.43 and that was when he went 5.7 lol. His car never had the suspension setup so needless to say she did not get out of the hole real well. 408 + 300 shot is the formula for 8s and has allready been proven so you are in good company. Also Chris' heads were badass in 2001, but 330cfm on a 408 is street car **** now. I mean Chris' car was mainly done in his garage with out group of friends working on it we learned alot by trial and error. Also Choose your gear wisly on the 8.9 pass we ran out of gear early, and had no nitrous for several hundred rpm then came the rev limiter.

I don't care who it is, but I just want to see more fast LS1s.

only vid i have w/ the proshifted.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0724awWcAHw

ignore the dry hops and crappy burn out and rev limiter.

this is before i properly learned how to work the proshifted tranny. my builder gave me wrong information on how to shift it...

1.40 60 6.38 e/t

might have been a 6.32 if i had shifted to 4th, but this was the first time out w/ the new tranny/setup, etc.
