For those questioning weather or not a IRS rear can handle mid 8s in the quarter, here you go. Mark I buddy of mine holds 2nd at 8.90 in his 07 ZO6 (LSX) done by IPS out of Columbus The following is House of Boost out of Lexana Kansas latest creation, LS7, LS7 heads and just a little boost LOL, The record for IRS vette is 8.81 with a little bit of more seat time and tune I think the House of Boost boys can beat that this year. Hats off to these MIdwest boys.

I bought Marks first motor prior to the LSX install, I recently sold it to another member here. Considering Marks car is torn down again for this years upcoming events who knows? I see one of these guys hitting low 8s by years end. Rodney at RPM transmissions is got something coming out to help Mark out. I may have to have Ironworks do some recon!

I here ya Frank, SW can drive.
I plan on taking the 69 down the straight track multiple times. However my goal was not to hit 8s like you and JP, just not to destroy the IRS. Between the boys at RPM,DSS and Ironworks I think were ok :D
