Awesome vid! Thanks for that.

Hows your driveline cope with those kind of launches?

By the look of the vid, it would be better to ask what hasn't been done i reckon.
BTW Kiwi, it's great too see someone pull a good time in a manual too. :sm_headba

Do you have that pic from the rear of your car launching? I think it was on fullboost? Thats an awesome photo, your rear bumper nearly touched the ground!

Hi Simon,

I've always been a fan of your car, and this just shows why. I was amazed and the gear changes, barely dropping below 6000rpm! and damn did that thing launch!

Congrats on an excellent time

Interesting to observe from the inside the traction required for an 11sec pass. Astonishing! I must say, from the sound I'd never have picked it as an LS1. Those gauges seem like they just can’t wait to claw their way past the 12 o'clock mark. Well done!

Simon's car is just awesome. I've witnessed the progress since Simon bought the car. It's an awesome sight to watch. The vid? I'm downloading it now

Change the bottomend! It's screaming to have that 6800rpm limiter removed.

Thanks Chris, you’re my favourite AFF guy too!! Yhea 2-3 shift buzzed the limiter!!

Well, I went to Calder on Fri, finally got it tuned by HPF it made 310rwkw, it drives smooth nice and feels 10 times better everywhere!!

On fri I ran as I ran at the LS1 Nats, except this time I had no spool only 3,9’s and I ran full exhaust twin 2 ˝ exhaust and cats!!

11.56 @ 120.67mph 60’ 1.71
11,58 @ 120.15mph 60’ 1.69

just found out my Koni’s were adjusted wrong along time ago!!!!!!! Set BACKWARDS so I have been porposing and skipping down the track!!!!

See you all at heathcote on Saturday, hopefully my spool is fixed by then!!

Simon
