Nice video.
You must be powerhifting.
My car you hear the same 1-2 shift spinning, but my car only barks the 2-3, your spins it again like the 1-2
I have NO DOUBT your running what you say and I would also say your driving is worth 0.1-0.2.
BTW, how are you launching, I heard just a hint of wheelspin and then you were gone. No bogging at all.
Are you slipping the clutch and if so at what rpm?
Thanks,
Howard

The video doesnt show the time, but look at the numbers on the car, 102, then check the timeslips!
Car has run a 12.15 with tune, DR and mufflers now

And no, there was no catback on the car, nothing but stock, I had the mufflers installed on 2/14/06, and this track run was 1-13-06

Give Chevy credit, they gave us a great combo right pout of the box.

both backed up by 12.9's
Off to the track Fri to test my 1 7/8 Kooks they feel amazing but now the tires just spin so I assume I will go slower with stock tires!
I thought I would loose some TQ down low with the 1 7/8 and that would help my traction problems, no such luck.

It was so much easier back then to compensate with carbs, timing, plug heat ranges, maybe a collector extension and always the option of swapping gears based on your first few time trials before eliminations.
Technology you are the bane of the modern performance car...not so easy to DIY at the track !
So what's a DA?....used to be a haircut that my older brother wore !!!

Interesting results.
My tuner kept telling me to take off my aftermarket airbridge and go back to stock. Well I finally did and it runs better and produced better numbers than ever before.
Hopefully I will get down to HRP and run since our local track is already closed.
This way I can back it up with something other than G-Tech times and recordings from the ECM.
I felt an improvement when I installed the aftermarket airbridge but it must have just been the lighter wallet.
