So he traps 130+, but what does he ET? STS kits have made a name for themselves not being able to perform at the track.

It’s tough to judge any big power adder for the GTO by ET.

1. IRS isn’t ideal for 1/4 mile.
2. 3800lbs isn’t ideal for 1/4 mile.
3. Not being able to fit more than a 275 tire under the rear fenders without breaking out the plasma cutter isn’t ideal for 1/4 mile.

If you’re trying to build a 1/4 mile beast the GTO is a bad place to start. Sounds like Steve just wants something fast for the street though. From what I’ve read SC sounds like a lot less headache, but this just looks so damn sexy (APS TT Kit)…
