Default 11.68 @ 120.81 mph LS4 Car Tuning Turbo Kit

Finally able to get the Monte Carlo SS to the track with the new transmission built by Dave at Triple Edge Performance and 3000 RPM stall converter. Running on street tires best I could do was a 13.0 at 116mph. No traction!

The Car Tuning Turbo kit is putting out about 9-9.5psi boost. The Car Tuning turbo kit is simply amazing, as you will see.

Bolted up my Hoosier QTP's and ran a best of 11.68 @ 120.81 mph! This was a with a 1.86 60 foot, as the track I was at couldn't quite hold the tires. I raised the boost a little to around 10psi and was trying harder launches at the line, but the track wouldn't hold the car. They don't prep quite as well as other tracks. At 10psi I was running 11.70 at 121.47 mph with some tire spin. I'll be heading to Mid Michigan Motorplex this Saturday for a Michigan Grand Prix club event and the track is much better so I should get some good 60 foots there.

We still have a little to work out in the tune and a little more boost to go. There is more in there yet!

You just motivated all us LS4 people even more to get this damn kit! haha, me for sure at least. Good **** man, congrats.

If I'm not mistaken supercat had the fastest NA time at 13.0x prior to the turbo kit going on.

Full weight, no suspension mods besides lowering springs. 11.68 isn't all it has!

Dude, look up the cable mod on Clubgp.com (http://www.clubgp.com/newforum/tm.as...mode=1&smode=1) like $15 and not much time when you're at the track, will shave your time even more

I saw the rear suspension mod and at some point, might consider it. I'd rather have something that is set up a little more stable than just the cable and ties. After 11.49 et NHRA rules require a cage, battery cut off, harness, and so on, so I figure I'll get away with a few low 11 second passes once I get to a good track and get the boost up a little more. I have no plans to do a cage and such, so besides a few what can it really do passes, I'll more than likely tune it to run just above 11.49.

11.5 is still nothing to complain about.
