In a stock LS3 you can finish the 1/4 in 3rd or shift 4th and lose mph... Atleast that's what I did back in 2012.

It's all in the set-up your running, ideally you want to maximize your rpm range to finish at a high RPM in 4th (M6) if you are NA.

There is a science to make speed by having the correct set-up.

Tire height has a lot to do with it also to keep out of 5th.
