For the guy's that have a 260 Auto and think 4.1's are low 2500 rpm mine sits on 107 klm on the road.
Yeah, I have a 25min drive up the hume to work and back each day, and my fuel economy is hot with the 4.1's

when I first heard of it in BA diffs, I thought people had rocks in their head, but even on the long trips, they are killer.

and killer on the strip too :1syellow1

Here's how I went, giving it a bootful,

2.102 83.63 13.32 105.94
2.050 84.00 13.30 105.79

then a little more gentle at the startline

1.998 84.91 13.10 106.62
2.010 85.15 13.06 106.85
2.033 84.47 13.05 107.19

The nicest part of the evening was chatting to all the LS1 boys, who were missing tailgates, exhausts, had cams fitted,

and were only running 12.7's.

They make me sick. I can see now that we are slowly starting to hurt them, i predict within 12 months we will be cam only 11's. When I made the prediction last night, they didn't laugh. In fact, not many LS1 guys are laughing at us anymore, we are starting to get their respect.

Go the Hump!
Someone mentioned they could transport cars cheaply,maybe we should send our two over there for some out of season racing. : :

Dont mind pedallin another one do ya chris.

Most of the LS1 guys are ok - its the professors over there that me.........

They should kick our butts, there would be something wrong if they didn't. All I am saying is to the LS1 guys who reckon Bosses only run high 13's, they will only see these things go faster.

I know im not the only one who thinks this, but probably the only one saying it. if i didn't believe it, there would be an SV8 in the driveway.
