1.7s are fine for now. I mean a 1.6 would be nice, but if I can get a mid to low 1.7 out of it on a 555R it'd save me a lot of money and still run decent ETs..what did that maggie run/trap anyway?

I agree. I don't race cones or anything, so SRA suits me just fine! I hope the tune and O/R pipe really wake it up so I'll have a good starting point.

Exactly... after my recent horrors I believe the tune is now one of the first things you should do. haha

It should be. Most people got it in there head a tune wont do much without bolt ons and that you're tuning for the mods. Like they are leaving power on the table by tuning first or thinking a retune is needed after headers, etc. A tune should be done asap imo. Getting mine done in the next 2 weeks hopefully.

It ran 11.8@118 for me. The owner never got it past 12.0s. It probably had a little more in it.

I'm sure it had more in it, but it had to be a beast to do much with. I'd bet with some slicks/skinnies it would've done low 11s and 120s.

I'd bet for sure at least 11.4-11.5! I wasn't my car so I didn't power shift or really beat the crap out of it on the two passes I made. My cars aren't usually so lucky. LOL

Damn... been gone too long lol

Not bad times, just need better tires. Healthy trap speed. Despite 13.3's in my '12 RT, I never trapped better than 101mph. Heck, my 09 never trapped better than 104 with 12.8's all day.. even if I cut it down to 12.5's I still doubt I'd trap better than your 106. Heavy bastards the LX cars are rofl

OP is obviously a newb. The LS2 Goats are 12.7 cars with a monkey driving, Terminator killers from what I've been told.
