That's about what I expected. Nice runs and cars to the both of you.

Those dyno numbers seem awfully optimistic for a cammed 5.7. IIRC, 419rwhp is about what a cammed LS2 6.0 would make but the results speak for themselves.

good runs!

would it not be easier to supercharged the GTO rather than go through all the cam, gears, modded TB, fuel pump, injectors, headers, cats.. ects...?

The GTO sounds very nice though.

yea but a super charger for the gto is around 6000$ so it makes a little more sense for him to do that.

Still should do the TB, fuel pump, injectors and headers to maximize the supercharger too.

lol, no i started in high gear and let her kick down. I didn't want to the kid to feel too bad about his really fast car getting beat up on by a 4 door. He is getting more work done to his car this winter, more races will be posted in the spring. BTW I didnt even launched i just rolled on the gas...

I spanked a yellow GTO the other day as well. Going about 80 , he is in front of me about 2 car lengths. We have been teasing each other for about a mile. Seeing that the car in front of him slides of to the middle lane from the fast lane. I see that he punches it as I do the same. So we started at 80 and about at 100 I see that I am going to catch him so I decide to move right to the middle lane and suddenly I am next to him gonig about 120 and pass him waving goodbye(lol) and decided enough is enough since next thing you know I am going about 130. I guess he was mad so he decided to go another but my exit was coming up so what was the use, I knew it was an easy walk in the park.

Oh, did I mention that I have the older brother S55.
