Anyone know who this may have been? Very Clean red, lowered, wheels, and nasty *** V8. Did a few pulls with the guy. Definitely good times. Not sure on what county, maybe Bergen county

haha, I came on tonight just to see if you posted. That was me. Very nice, clean IS300, what kinda setup if you don't mind me asking. That thing pulled like a freight train, can you give me some details on the setup if you don't mind me asking? I always wanted to build one.

I always have a camera in my car too, but figures I didnt this time around. Im guessing you have LS1 swap.

Engine/Drivetrain:
2JZGTE bottom end
Intercooler/custom 2.75" piping
Tubular T4 manifold
Tial 38MM open dump
Turbonetics T66 .70AR
3" Straight through turbo back carbon TI exhaust
870cc injectors
Walbro 255
Haltech F10X
SSQV BOV
Built auto trans 3,200rpm stall

Running 17-18psi around 450whp. Unfortunately my car isn't a highway monster due to the trans.

I bet its a nasty drag car though damn.

Yea mine is an 01 LS1 out of a trans am with T56 six speed
Full length headers, custom y into HKS catback
short ram intake
stock LS1 ecu etc
~2900lbs with me in it

I thought it seemed like an auto but I wasn't sure. That's too bad about the camera, I would like to see them again. Did you notice the SRT-10 RAM fly by after one of the pulls?

I think he thought he was racing haha. Yea I have once. It ran 12.0 at 117 on those big heavy 18s with a 1.9 60ft. This summer I hope to get some sticky tires for the stock wheels and maybe a cam. Hopefully should be good for 11.5ish at 125ish. How about you?
