Wheels look good Smokin, they’ve got some old school muscle flava. I agree with others about dropping it a little but maybe just the front to give you some rake and so you don’t have to dick around with the pinion angle in the rear. I’m running drag bags in the rear that actually lifted the car a bit but got rid of my wheel hop issues. I’m starting to think about a slight drop in the front. ---

> [@K20powerz](#): > > Tom’s is no slouch from a roll :lol No idea who Tom is but the fastest STi in the area in terms of trap is jays05 and I haven’t seen anything close. It depends what you mean by “slouch”. To me, 120MPH is where it starts to get fun. ---

In the same regard, Jay’s car never came close to touching it’s limitation so comparing really isn’t fair. Hell, what if Jay’s built car made a pass at WG and went 111? Also, that car didn’t go 111 with just an exhaust. ---

> [@SSmokinn SS](#): > > yah i honestly think he might creep me on the highway… You last trapped 5MPH less. You added headers and whatnot but not sure what that equates to. To be honest, you are starting to realize that the forum times (which often represent the elite people) don’t match YOUR times which is why I break your nuts about 12 second stock LS1 bullshit. Reality \> \* 5MPH is _ALOT_ of trap. Here’s a solid WS6 that I raced that trapped 112 with MT/CAMS/I/EXHAUST/HEADERS/etc… Do you have similiar mods? ---

Here’s a solid WS6 that I raced that trapped 112 with MT/CAMS/I/EXHAUST/HEADERS/etc… Do you have similiar mods? it all depends… EVERY car is different…you and I both know this…no argument there I have Seen cammed LS1 that run slow as balls to what they are supposed too…if they arent tuned right for it, have supporting mods etc. It all plays an effect on them…a very light cam too sometimes doesnt do much…some people say they are “cammed” but really they just put in a z06 cam etc…which in the end doesnt give them THAT much more power over stock I have read/seen cammed only Bolt on ss’s/ws6’s run 11’s near 120mph traps…and others, run mid 12’s @ 110-114… same thing goes for bolt on’s…Bolt on ls1’s I/H/E/ rubber usually trap around 108-112 there was a kid i was talking too down at the lot a few weekends ago when i first got my car that ran a 12.7 @ 110 with just I/H/E and drag radials. In reality, it SHOULD be a good race…could go either way…right now I have a mysterious misfire that wont go away on cylinder 5. Its going back to the dealership tomarrow to get fixed. My mods are the following… Stage 2 clutch Spohn torque arm BMR lower control arms Hooker long tube headers SLP intake/k&n filter Pacesetter 3" Catless Y pipe SLP catback exhaust Ported/polished Throttle body Slight tune…did some tuning the other day…ended up advancing some timing with No knock.
