    540 seems like a highly inflated dyno number for that car.

    Yeah a 5.3 LS motor with a z06 cam and 11psi out of a 76mm turbo should be likee.... way lower than 540.
    The 11.5 @ 125 that he ran in the dead of summer was a fast track too.

    540 from a 5.3 on 11 pounds seems legit to me. The first video is closer to what I would have thought would happen when you brought this up in your build thread, looks like you cut out early though. What happened in the second video?

    2nd Vid, Regal by a car, nice kill.

    Um...also noticed on the second vid, the regal had some sparkage, down pipe hitting?

    We were approaching a car in my lane first run.
    2nd run he started in 3rd instead of 2nd at ~50mph.
    I took the catback off yesterday because I'm making a new one... So my dp was dangling, I didn't realize it was bouncing off the road so it'll be hung next time I'm driving.

    Who turbos an LS anything and thinks 540 is a lofty number? Douchebag effect. I think I've added sh!!ting in Snowfakes front yard to my bucket list.
    I may say rude things but learn to take a joke. The internet is funny when you can laugh.
