New best in my bolt on 1LE

Went to Mason Dixon and ran a new best of 12.37 @ 117.49. Had one 1.86 60' on stock tires but spun second and blew the run. I'm pretty confident I can get a low 12.1 on stock tires with my current mods 1.85 rockers, PSI1511 springs, ARH 1 7/8 headers, 3" x pipe, Z28 CAI And home ported rod mod intake and self tuned.

Your car is way above the norm for any boltons ls3. How in the world are you trapping 117mph? What's the car weigh?

I'm cammed with almost full Bolton's and barely squeak 117mph best all time with 475rwhp and I can row the boat damn good...what's the secret?

Car is 3990 RW still on stock wheels and tires and I turn it 7000 RPM. I am self tuned, its never seen a dyno, only the street. I've found it slows down with no lift shifts. It took me forever to find all the crap that pulls timing in this thing and finally got it all tuned out. I need a catch can, im using the 1LE one but its not doing much of anything. Hoping to run bottom 12s if I can get one more track day this year.

Its not about making power for me, it's having effective parts to support RPM. Rockers are as much as a cam install but as you can see its effective.

If a coyote can swing his timing for extended RPM and be bolt on, I can swap rockers for lift and no duration lol to each his own.

Nice work. Changing the springs probably helps the power band too, won't float the valves.

Just for curiosity sake how do you figure you slow down with power shifting?

The harder the gear change it seems the longer it takes to recover. I've made a few track days and my faster more consistent passes are smooth shifts instead of no lift shifts.
