Sorry, got a little busy. All the mods are listed in the YT video.


AFR heads, ECS Big NA Cam, Kooks headers & pipes, Stock Ti mufflers, Haltech intake, LS2 throttle body, FAST intake manifold and a conservative tune (was an HPDE car) 485hp at the wheels.

very nice!! What clutch do you have? I'm at the strip right now and my stock clutch is absolute garbage. I think I might replace this before I do any mods. So disappointing.

Thanks man! Best run of the night was 12.23 @ 116mph with 1.95 60ft. Street tires and CAI only. I would have loved to watch your car in person.

Have you done anything to your rear end like hardened shafts or a diff brace?

So almost .3 seconds on the 60 ft just by changing tires. Seems like it was worth the money to me.

That's surprising. I'm seeing C5Z's here trapping 118-119 with headers, CAI and a tune on Hoosier DR's.

I don't think that's high at all. Tell that to GaryZ06 or most of the guys in the top 10 fast list. Truth is most people don't dial it in when it's bolt ons and the rest of the set up suffers.

Mine is 485hp at the wheels, I forgot the tq#. That's what I was thinking about the time, but I need more practice or a driver mod.

And yes I was bogging on the launch. Didn't want to drive to the track with the front GTO wheels on. Also I had to start driving around the water box due to the front wheels putting water on the track causing me to spin. I trapped 125mph on one run because of spinning so bad.

thats hurting your time, next time try a little higher rpm launch

i'm still learning my car too! i only have about 12 passes on in two track outings. I was consistent tho i made 5 passed last time out and 3 runs was 11.2x the other 2 was 11.4x all my 60's was 1.50 to 1.65


Scotty2000SS another thing is those guys at the top of the list do a lot of planing and most made runs in killer -DA at tracks like MIR mine was just a local track last minute thing +DA weather i'm sure i can do better just need seat time
