1.65, all stock suspension 1988 gta. full weight w/ a/c. stock trans and converter, stock 3.27 gears. only modifications were a flowmaster muffler, no cat, no smog pump, k@n filter on a home made cold air, air foil, afpr, msd coil,msd wires, ported upper plenum, 65hp wet shot(to the wheels), and of course a set of nitto 245/50/16 dr's. car made 305.9hp @ 5200rpm and 428.8tq @ 3250rpm to the wheels on the 60hp shot. the best time it ran was a 8.10 @ 89mph in the 1/8 , hitting the nitrous at about 40 feet out. it beat many awd cars and many more ls1's, over 90 ls1's at various street races over the course of about 3 months. the kill list is much more impressive than the 60 foot! and they are all writen down..........

how are you guys launching to get those times? Do you do any kind of burn out or anything? I just bought a set and I was wondering how to go about getting them too hook up.
