Im done racing the car for now. Im at a point were it has become very expensive to go faster.
Just had transmission rebuilt a month earlier and now has a stock differential. I've broken 2 LSD's so I didnt want to chance it. I need a Quaife Diff if I ever plan on racing the car hardcore again.
I did make 2 passes that day.
14.3 - Traction control basically stalled the car after the launch.
13.9 - Removed traction control fuse. Full car w/ stereo, 1/2 tank gas, no slicks, no burnout and the excuses go on and on
It just cost too much money right now and I need all the money I can get just to live.

Understandable. That's why I race go-karts. It doesn't tear up my street car, it's not AS expensive (though not cheap by any means), and I don't have to just go fast in straight lines.

those were some nice drag shots...that grand prix SE made me laugh though but i hope you guys take note as to removing your left headlight for more air to the air filter i've never tried it but i'm sure it helps. :p My grand prix gt (http://www.cardomain.com/id/fallen_blade)

When I run my car I remove the headlight (like everyone else) and also my filter :)
Earls SE is pretty quick and has the same 3.8 as your GT

People snicker at my SE untill they realize they're not looking at the front, but rather the back of it in a race. She is a Sleeper ZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzz...... (and the CSC or turbo will be in hopfully before mid summer).
