New personal best on Friday night.  Carrying a full tank of fuel since I just HAD to figure out my gas mileage.  Makes me wonder if I would have hit 10.7's with 80 less lbs...

Well I'm starting to change a few things on my car to get ready for boost so I went and made a few all out passes and managed to do a little better.
60'     1.559
330'   4.395
1/8    6.751 @ 106.45
1/4   10.544@ 129.75

This pass messed up my 4th gear and that's why the mph is low. Should have been 133 but regardless that will most likely be my last fastest pass due to selling my intake and changing to a ls6 this week. Getting ready for boost.

Myself I have a 700r4. My converter isn't flashing high anymore. It is suppose to be 3800rpm, but after looking at my gopro videos it flashes to 2500 from a 2000 launch. Which pissed me off cause my cam doesn't start to make power until 3000rpm.

So I am thinkin this winter about getting a custom built or a cone converter in around 4000rpm.

Your converter looks like it flashes to 4K, flash stall and foot stall is different.

Flash stall is when you mat the gas to the floor and you seel the rpm rise, then flatline for half a second before continueing to rise thru the rpm band.

Foot stall is how high you can stall it while holding the car with the brakes.

nice job. 


the rear is squatting a decent amount now.  I think it was you that said the granny's rear used to resist the squatting.
