Default gs430 13's 1/4 mile

Took the gs430 to the drag strip last night. A little run down on the car.
It has ppe headers, Srt intake, PI 2800stall, greddy exhaust.
My best before the torque converter was 14.3

Last night I managed a 13.9@99 with 3 cels it's pulling p0172 p0430 p0100. Also beat a is350 down the track

I'm sure this car has more in it i think with it running 100% it will do a 13.7-13.8

Hopefully RRRACING comes out with that tune for our cars!

Beauty. Looks like you jumped of the line and really put some car lengths right at the line and then kept going. He couldn't catch up after that. That's the beauty of the V8, it just keeps on going.
