Default Hello All

Came over from LS1TECH, always loved the C5s and plan to get one in the future (black, M6). Heard about RPM transmissions and am planning on it for my next big mod.

Sorry bout that, I forgot to check this forum.

When I ran the 12.2 @ 111.70 it was at Atco raceway in New Jersey in 38 degree weather.

Mods were lid, loudmouth, Yank's SS3800 and Nitto drag radials. I launched the car at 3500rpms and got a 1.75 60' Managed to do it at Raceway park as well but with a 1.71 60' and a 109 trap speed.

Just went to Atco this past Sunday and with only 1 run got a 12.51 @ 111.70 in 82 degree weather and a 1.94 60' (no burnout) As you can see, alot is left in this new combo (QTP longtubes, Borlamouth and TTP's V3 Cam).
