Comparing my 04 to my 08, both stock, same distance, only 2 mph faster to 100 mph with the 08. Seems to me it should be much greater considering 350 hp to 430 hp. 04 from the west coast. 08 from Florida. Comments??

Interesting...I follow this stuff (ie: stock and lightly modified C5 and C6 drag racing capabilities and results) pretty closely and I've seen as much as a full 8+mph difference (roughly a 6mph difference on average) in 1/4 mile trap speeds between C5 LS1s and a C6 LS3s.
