they did shorty headers, new o2 sensors, corsa catback, tranny rebuild, transgo shift kit, 2800 stall, slp CAI, new plugs/wires, airfoil, weldlites with drag radials? and skinnies up front, high flow cat? i think thats all.
they ended up running a 13.16 and i cant remember the mph.

what kinda engine is that on? seems like with all that it should be down in the 12's if its lt1

QCKZ28

internally stock LT1, keep in mind they did no weight reduction at all. i believe the track times were from e town.
the MPH wasnt all that great i believe somewhere between 102-104, but the 60' was awesome 1.7X
oh yeah they had to replace the optispark

S.J.S.

Actually that's good times. If you look at it there isn't much mods besides the stall, shorties and CAI.

i beliebe with longtubes/cutout
and simple wt reduction they could have hit consistant 12's

Remember though, they were on a quest to stay completely emissions legal, meaning no cutout, no long tubes, ect. The shorted themselves big time when they went with the Hooker Shorties. They were being budget minded too, but they then proceeded to splurge on the Corsa. All fine and dandy, but what's a big old purdy Cat Back gonna go for you if you're not maximizing the headers in front of it.

The 13.16@102 they attributed to TC lock up in third. They said that it just smoked through 1st and 2nd, then fell flat on it's face in third. Had the TC not been locking up, they probably would have made the goal.

They did accomplish all of this with the full interior, no weight reduction, which says a lot, but personally I believe that the biggest killer was the Hooker Shorties. 1 5/8's primary shorty headers just doesn't cut it on these cars.

They used a lot of BMR products too. Torque arm, front/rear springs, LCA and brackets, panhard bar. They probably would of broke into the 12's if they ran the car in cooler weather. Still a solid run IMO.

Go to www.gmhightechperformance.com They should still have all the coverage on it. Like others said, best time was a 13.1X. What they didn't say was that was in 90*+ air! November in NJ would have easily produced 12's IMO. Also, I don't think they did all the suspension mods stated. I think it was a lot less.

That 13.16 run was in NJ in February or March. It was VERY cold back then, and when they made those last runs it was damn near perfect racing weather. They did all of their stated suspension mods. I have all of TGOW issues with me out here.
