Congrats James... maybe someday people will understand that dyno numbers dont mean a thing... all I want to know is " Hows that, for power across the curve?"

You are my new Hero

it just baffles me, most of the other guys that you hear of running 10's have like 600 hp
how can you run that fast with "only" 428 hp?
nice looking car.

Do you think going to DFI helped a lot and what made you change from the stock computer?

Joe Had told me I should be fine with the stock computer.
Yes, they are the same heads. The DFI just made it easier to tune. It's a great tool, but only works as well as the combo will allow.

Thanks, really nothing mystical about it. Some of us just don't settle for average performance. I'd rather have kick *** ETs than a bandwagon

Amen brotha..preach on...lol. People just seatle for average..its the ones that put in that extra effort that surprise people. Thing is..all it takes is persistance and thinking outside the box. Of course...talking to the right people and taping into their experience helps a ton. If you have 600 rwhp and only runnin 10s...somethings wrong.

Joe..thats quite a list you got going there in your sig..lol

Re: VIDEO of H&C 10 SEC PASS

I think most people that run 10's with a 600rwhp motor dont have a great suspension setup. I am running 430rwhp and 389tq and I only run like 11.8. I dont have any tranny work, rear end work, or suspension work. So there is a lot more to be had in the car. That is also with a full interior and A/C.

So 10's isnt unreachable by any means, just takes time and $$$, and some more $$$.

Great work! Gives us N/A guys a glimpse of hope!

I'm going to try to rpove that wrong on a few LS1's after I get my tune! Not a LS1 hater or enything but I'm tired of watching the rear of them . Hopefully, I will have enough to let some of them see the rear of a LT1 car .

Sorry, it's an ATI that stalls around 3600. The car lives up to the tags, it is truly brutal at the touch of the throttle
