Thanks Gary, you're right it did not come easy and I am aware anyone near the top gets a handful of issues for their troubles. It was a long run but worth every moment in the end. I think the car is good for a 9.7x on a good day. I dropped a run that bested my best 1/8 stat by about a tenth maybe a bit more but missed 4th, she wasn't having it. Too bad, I was gunning for a certain somehow on the fastlist. he'll get his day lol.

Yeah you're 100% right Gary, it's already begun. Apparently I'm running a 75shot according to the experts lmao. On top of your build I have a cam and headwork... You must be running a 200 shot by that math hahahaha guess the haterade fell off the truck somewhere.
Thank you very much. Yes, problems are all ironed out. Don't know if I could have endured that another season.

Trapping 142 on an NA z is very doable with the right parts, tune and driver. Let the people hate. They are just mad b/c they can’t accomplish it themselves.
Do you have a 2 step?

Yes I agree, Seb's shifting adds at least 2 to 3 mph to the majority of peoples cars too. And yes his build makes up for the difference.

The word hater gets thrown around way too loosely these days.
Congrats again on the run.
I haven't been around very long, so I have no dog in the fight. Seb must be doing something very right to be trapping what a max effort, boost only, ZR1 traps.

Many want to claim BS because they simply can't match his mindset or his dedication. He tunes, builds, and drives his car, pushes everything he can and is never fully satisfied. Rather than try to innovate and try to figure out ways to catch up, people would rather throw stones. People expect that he will put in countless hours of work to be that fast just to turn around and hand-out the blueprint.

The ls7 is a gem with tons of potential. You know what I find silly, is that people all do same thing. Same btr cam, same heads and mamo msd or something and expect that they are going to be faster then the next guy running the same package lol. Every year Seb tweaks something. I've known him for 3yrs now and he's designed 3 cams, ported 2 different intakes, tried different tires, found 3 or 4 hp here, 5 or 6 pounds there. Try this and try that it never stops.

What would you say if you didn't know Seb? What would be your reaction to that claim?
Props to him if he has found the recipe. I know it wasn't easy.

I understand. Most people don't want to be the guinea pig. Most of the people here aren't trying to break a record of even run a time. They just use what works. I also understand that mindset. It costs a lot of money to stray away from what works.
