So you raced from a dig and kept up the lead until 130 mph right ? If that is indeed what you are saying that's very impressive.

I have similar setup in addition I also have a FTP H/E and my tune is box tune.

I never knew our cars could keep up with SLS lol

It's the 6.2 engine not as fast as it looks. We are so proud of you. Unlike me... I just smoked a Camry ...

Good way to win a dig is let the car shift at them. We all know we will be ahead for the first car length against pretty much anything on the street. So let them freak, lift and then you are gone. Works for me,,,,,lol

I got'em I loved it and was a stoked for and hour.
