    Re: so slow...

    i couldnt find the time slip for the 16.8, but i found the next best one...

    RT - 0.159
    I1 - 2.600
    I2 - 7.175
    I3 - 10.952
    MPH (I3) - 65.287
    I4 - 14.275
    ET - 16.900
    MPH - 82.806

    She just bought the car from a dealership about a month ago and it has 135,000 miles on it. and it's GU4...

    stock LS1's up here run 13.9 - 14.2 all day. i have a mildly modded LT1 and got a 14.3 with terrible traction and a slipping clutch...

      What kind of temperature does the engine stay at on yours ? I used to run just the regular DexCool in mine and it seemed like after the car warmed up it lost some of its power (couldnt squeeze more then 15.6 out of it). Then i decided to get rid of AntiFreeze all together (who needs it anyways in FL!!) and i put in Coolant only (Mr. ICE) mixed with water and then my engine didnt lose so much ummphh when it got warm (thats when i got a 15.1-15.3 out of it)

        It's a high milage car.... so it could probably due to have a tune up.

        Also, that elevation is DEF a factor!

        LS1's by me can go mid to low 13's.... and 12's with minimal mods.

        Keep at it... I'd read up in here for tips and slowly do a tune up

          the car seems to run at a constant 210...would a cooler thermostat maybe help?
