I used to get 30+ in my Z06 when it was just simple bolt-ons. Cam and tune netted me around 28. LS1's are absolutely amazing motors, but it's sad that half of their owners aren't aware of what they can do.

Honestly I never knew this was a race for the best gas milage or who didnt have the loudest car??? I thought it was for who was the fastest. I honestly dont mind running anyone, winning or losing. Gas mileage and cost of parts, etc always comes up when they know someone is faster then you...

Well I am not sure what dyno you saw but call it by what you saw. I would love to go from a roll as you offer. I wont bring my car to H-town just to race though just aswell you wont bring ur car here just to race me. So as of now its just all talk.

So we're talking about a car that isn't running.. That's Cooooool....

Had I known we were talking about projects I'd have just said "When I build my car someday I'll beat everyone and their mom too" lol Till then I guess I'll just have to settle with owning a car that runs. hahaha

Cool video, here's one of my car on the small shot cutting high 1.9 60's. In the summer heat with a 20mph head wind, car has another 7-10 mph now and is daily driven getting 28+ mph on the highway. Video!
Matt
PS: the car is on a bigger shot now and the dyno numbers are alittle diffrent

Matt maybe we should take your car to Dallas. I would love to have a video of some of this. Esp when your about 10 or 15 cars out on them.
