Default new 1/4 best
i went to famoso in bakersfield this weekend with the ls3. my previous best was a 12.1@118 with drag radials. This weekend i ran a 12.0@119.78 with only a 1.93 60ft on street tires. left the drags at home. I continue to be impressed by the ls3. With some traction it should run in the 11's with only a cold air and tune. The temperature was about 60 and the da was 1800ft.

Nice run. I am hoping for 11's eventually with mine, with a CAI, tune and I have 2.73 gears. Not a big jump in gearing, but they should help some.

Could you clarify something? Are you running bone stock (as your profile sez)? Or are you running with a CAI and a tune?

thx.
