Default LS1 goes 8.08!!

A C&V modded single turbo ls1 went 8.08 @161mph on it's first run!! Had trouble during the second run an clipped the wall but didn't result in major damage.
Apparently it was only running low boost yet, can anybody say sevens comin up!!
The fastest ls1 in the USA is only 7.94secs so it aint far infront!!

Apparently the run where he hit the wall (not hurt) was on target for a 7...and the 1st time out

Should see 7's soon and maybe the world's fastest LS1

Moved to drag racing forum

Might be good advertising to sell some parts and have the AWC sticker on the back....
