pretty sure you have around a 12.7-12.8 @ 102-103MPH car as it sits with this 1/8th run... then again, I'm no expert at comparing 1/8 to 1/4 either
that's actually exactly what all the comparison's point to, me doing ~12.77@102-104mph

Those LS2 GTO's with the automatic are fast as s***, and have nasty trap speeds to back it up

I have the 5r with a TCI 3000 Stall, which itself ran me $450 shipped, I personally didn't think that price tag was anything TOO crazy

As for the 4r, I plan on buying one within the next 6 months to replace my 5r. That 4r70w, built, with a manual valve body, 3500 stall, and transbrake on my setup with the nitrous and the 4.10s should give me basement 11's all day n nite :-)

you remind me a lot of 98LS1 with your plans for the car and how you are modding it... (he always walks the same line you are with his cars) just a no BS concoction of mods for strict kicking teeth and raping assh*les in the 1/4 mile
