Went to the strip today after about 47 years - Cars Best Run

Reaction - 0.564

60 - 2.382

330 - 6.153 - 84.27 mph

Finish - 9.016 1/8 mile

Street tires - went off at about 3000 RPM's (low but with streets and hooked up well off the line) broke loose in second but she held - I was happy with the way she preformed. Thoughts?

2003 LS1 - STS Turbo - other than that stock.

Your right but it is a very conservative tune with only 5 lbs. Got to learn to walk before running.
