Last weekend was GTO trackday down in Bradenton
I went, and thought I would post up some pictures/ results

Well I started off right with a pair of dyno runs...... put down pretty decent numbers, considering my mods (Stock air box with K&N, Diablosport Preditor Canned Tune, and Straight Pipe)..... Right after me a 100% stock 04 dyno'd 282, so picking up 19 RWHPish isnt too shabby

There were a couple of classic GTO's there, I'm always a fan of classic muscle cars

Next is a pair of my time slips..... I'm car 42
Started the day off right running a faster ET than an LS2
Then run #6 was my fastest, and the fastest for the stock ls1 class during elimation for the day
Yes, I know reaction times I have to work on.....
DRAG BAGS FTMFW!!!!!!!! NO WHEEL HOP!!!! raise my rear end by close to 3 inchs, so no fender rolling to fit drag radials and those drag radials help ALOT

It was a very slow track though, the fastest ET was an 11.03
Some of you might recognize the car, it belongs to Dan from Jacksonville, he is at SGMP Test and Tune alot, its the Grey one with a big ass cam.... he should have been in the 10's, along with a few other cars that hit 10's.......... oh and its his daily driver :beer:

My favorite car there was an LS7 swap into a GTO

I had fun, and was happy with my runs
Goal is by april to be in the 12's

Nice times dude. Those drag bags really work huh? I have the header itch real big right now and was looking at the pacesetters. Kinda tossing it up and down because of some of the fitment problems etc. But the price for those things are killer!

With the mods you're planning you'll definetly get in the 12's. Did you get a chance to run street tires or just radials?

Just radials at the track, but i run street tires every day, so i know how they hook, no wheel hop either, however speed bumps send a nice jolt through my trunk.....

word on the interweb is the pacesetters are actually pretty nice, and can drop in from the top on 04's, so you dont have to mess with powersteering

Nice times man. I think I am going to have to pick up a pair of the drag bags soon.

On the topic of headers I would go with Kooks or ARH. The ARH headers are supposed to be high quality and have great fitment. I have Kooks and I love them.
