Man... 9 seconds, that must be a WILD ride... next time you're out at the drags beg/borrow/steal a video camera and get it mounted into the car and point it at the console/driver - make sure you can see the tacho and speedo!

Bigger turbo is on the cards but there is still more left in the car with its current setup so ill keep pushing it see what we can do

Congratulations on the times.


It's being mentioned on another forum that it was stripped out, is this the case or not.

I personally don't care, because I think it is great, but it needs to be sorted out quickly if it's not the case.

Again, Well done

Car is still like a stock car to drive on the streets

I think we will see 8 second xr6 turbos but traction is going to be the biggest problem

Brilliant work mate, quite an achievement. After the LS1 experiment, you must be pleased with this ride.....

Anyone have any ideas on what a VL turbo has run with a standard factory part numbered turbo? cant see it being any quicker than a low 12, although i'll stand corrected!! but thats another thread.........

With the warmer months on the doorstep, I cant see anyone else getting near you. Well done and keep raising the bar!!
