Its going back to the dealership tomarrow to get fixed. Correct. There are RANGES but we already know that you are 5MPH short. Where’s that power coming from? Sure, you can win the race as there is a driver involved but 5MPH isn’t coming from the LS1 Gods. That’s my point. ---

That’s my point. well technically its 4mph…I trapped 106, he trapped 110. in reality, Long tubes, Catless Y pipe and a tune CAN give me a 4mph trap advancement…but it could not…it can go either way. Only one way to find out I guess ---

Only one way to find out I guess To be honest, I don’t know. I just made my post based on your 106 and wondered what you had to get you near him. To be really fair, just gearing/driving a lone cna make up for 5MPH or so but that can go either way. 🙂 ---

That’s good that you are probably better but you still suck. No offense. It’s not personal. The same reason why 16 years olds cannot drive for the most part. It’s just going to take time. I laugh at those that think they CAN drive because they can shift fast. People that can drive? Probably those like Jammer/JClark but in regards to drag racing, I watched a buddy that went 1.3 60’ on street tires with a 500AWHP 3/S and the difference is that he shifts like a ninja and the car feels like an auto. Power/Speed shifting is nutty. ---

they are also quite a bit wider and with more rubber… big wheels+ big tires + weight, and not only that, but its unsprung weight and increased roational mass. ---
