why does newsense run a 12.9 in revhard LS and most people run high 13's?
newsense ran a 12.9 @ 107 in a LS with stock Revhard kit @ 9psi on slicks.. most revhard or drag LS's i have read about run like around a 13.9 @ 103 on street tires.. Things just do not add up here..
oh btw this is not a flame towards newsense, i am just trying to figure out why his car is so damn fast compared to others..

track conditions and altitiude. I run mid to low 12's at englishtown and run high 12's at my local track in my GSR. Also driver like what the other guys said. Also a couple other things could help 2.

slicks made a big difference...he would have been about a 13.3 (?) I'm guessing on street tires....I have heard of other LS's and GSR's pulling off low 13s at that boost level on street tires....but like they say, Driver makes the difference!

I ran a 14.0 my first time at the track with my turbo LS at 7psi and running on 17" rims. On slicks, and boosting 9psi, high 12's seem reasonable.

because newsense is a liar. haha, jus playin. i saw him run those times with my own eyes. newsense has been in the game for a long time and is a damn good driver. you also need to take slicks/rims into consideration.

some tracks suck. my friend has a civic HB LS/turbo running 13.8 on 8psi in tucson. the car is a bullet and will probably run way faster at lower elevation.

they are boosting at 9psi and 11psi, there is no way to run 12's with a stock LS if you are boosting 7psi.

Would this be a 13.9 on street tires? Assuming he runs 2.3 60fts and I"ve heard you generally take .2 of your e.t's for every .1 you drop on your 60ft's. True or No?
