Took the LS to the track the other day and decided to run it a few times with nitrous and running N/A too. I got a few new bests. One run I did 13.3 @ 106.5 MPH on the juice. I also decided to try to beat my previous 14.3 best ET while running N/A. Well I got a nice 60' (for an LS) of a low 2.1 and then ran it out to a 14.2 ET @ 97 or so MPH. I am very confident that once I get this thing tuned better, get traction, and fix the tranny hesitation that I will run 12's in it.

I also ran a 1997 cobra that day. It was a good run but he killed me off the line! I was chasing his ass down pretty hard on the big end but just didn't drive it good enough to get him that time. Here is the video.

Thanks. I should have beat the guy in the Cobra by about 2/10ths of a second, but I just didn't drive the LS good enough. I guess it just goes to show what happens in real racing. My car is faster than that Cobra, but he still beat me that one time because he drove better than I did.
