yes the LSx car shpould trap right aorund 82-83 stock and yours should be at 80-82 mph
I don't see his car trapping more than 77-78 honestly.

You're going to be lucky to see 80mph. You really don't have any power adding mods, besides the basic exhaust/cai. Plus you're a vert. My car trapped around 83-84mph when it was stock, and pulled 1.9 short times with the factory 3.23's and on factory tires. You're racingcars that have at least a 60rwhp advantage on you so you have to outdrive them, nothing wrong with that. Just hard to believe an auto would lose with literally no driver error to be had.

I see the whole low end torque crap all the time on here, what's up with that? I think on my stock dyno I made more at 1700rpms than a new edge peaks at.

Do New Edge's have a better power to weight ratio? Again, I'm not familiar on the LS1's at all. I again assumed it was better with low end torque, because I always seem to pull on any car (again, minus the Z06) that I've raced out of the hole. But as many have said it could be just driver mod.

A new edge has zero advantage over any year/model/make LS1. No one on here will argue that.

Are you racing one legged, no armed monkeys? [8D]
