True, there is a lot of info in the thread but other than me capturing it here on the forum, all of the credit goes to my shop
G-Force Motorsports in Pearland, TX for giving me the info to pass along. I wouldn't expect them to give out all of their secrets, after all, they have spent years learning right combinations when putting these cars together. Cranking out 1000+ HP cars is the norm for them.
As for the 8 sec pass . . . I appreciate your confidence but I am thinking that is a bit optimistic

. Now if I acquire an LSX 427 short block and crank up the boost to 18-20 lbs, then low 9's might be possible. The car would be well over 1200 HP at that point.
If I could ever get this new clutch broken in then I will hit again through three gears to make sure all of the slip is gone but I already sort of tested that on the highway at 65 in 4th I punched it just a tad to get around someone and it sprung to life . . . no slippage as before.
If acceleration "feel" is any indication, I am beginning to feel confident that the car is capable of a high 9 sec pass but you also have to factor in the M6 with an old man at the helm

. This is when a host of my good friends will chime in beating the tranny upgrade to a 4L80E or TH400, and honestly they are right, but I want to do it with a stick
