Looks like hp on Tuesday - Page 3

It was 316. It should be 330. I am sure it will be corrected.

Larry is reaping the benefits of laying down good money for a fast car. I don't however, agree with what he is doing.

IMO he should back it off some, now that he has gotten an instant hit on the combo, but he paid the money and he can do what he wants.

Our Mustang is getting close, but the way the HP keeps going up, it could be a A or B car before long.......

And I know that will make a lot of people happy.

Too bad we all can't get 35 hp taken off our Combo's. Right Greg?? LOL

Kevin Stubbs is trying to convince me to do the same thing. Seems like a lot of work for an old fat man!! I am considering it though. All I need is a transmission, bell housing, clutch, shifter, linkage, clutch pedal ......Oh and a pocket full of cash!

You'd be just fine in A or B, if an LS1 can go 10.0s in B you should be able to go well into the 9s.

Ls1 firebird used to be able to go 10.0s and that was only a handful of them before the 12hp. Now if you're taking about corvettes that's a different story!

You need stick shift pieces, we might have some. That long wheel base thing is a real struggle. And I got lots of 904 Pro Trans.

I probably should have said 10.1s. You're definitely right about the Corvettes.

Andrew you were correct in your 1st Post, an LS1 can and did go 10.0's in "B" Stick, (10.02 Kevin Stubbs was #2 Qualifier at Indy of all places, that was last year, I believe he told me he could have gone some 9.80's at Houston with the same setup In "B".

You're right, their underrated also.
