It went 12.6 @110mph. That was with the stock bottom end, 10# boost, slipping 3rd gear, blown posi and the number 5 pistion on its way out. I think that it could have gone 12.3's if i had not blown a piston and fixed the trans. It was a beast on the street..

It's cool to see someone push the 4.8l to the extreme!

Congratulations, good luck with the turbo kit and all that goes along with it. I just love to see 4.8's make sick power.

I want to run fast enough so that I need a cage. Around here that means going 11.5's.
