Pretty damn fast, must have a few more mods than you think. Trap speed is alittle lower than I thought it would be with a 12.68, I ran a 12.54 @ 117.25. Maybe its the 270lbs in the driverseat.

Nice!

Step 1: Remove resonator from Borla system.
Step 2: Install X-Pipe
Step 3: Gain 2/3MPH in trap speed!

Seriously, the Borla resonator necks down to 2 1/4"

Nice pass. Couldn't tell from the vid what gear you went through the traps in. If it was top of third, you have standard gears. If it was towards the top of 4th you have gears. I would say you have a custom chip too. I know Haibeck marks his. Try pulling the chip and seeing if it has and markings from a tuner on it.

i went through the traps at the top of 4th,shifting at 7200rpm.this thing pulls all the way to the rev limiter.

Only problem removing the cats, is the possible
smell, fumes if you will.
Nice pass, where in Oklahoma? You should plan on
attending the Zr -1 Gathering in May, Bowling Green Ky
A must for a new owner, you'll learn more in a few days there, than months on the forum's.
oh, and welcome to the herd

Brad,

Congrats on the new purchase! They're fantastic cars. You'll love it to death. The Bose Gold systems on the early 90's Vette are notorious for their odd speaker/amp design. Search around on this forum as well as the other one and you'll find some good links and threads. Dr. Don's is the workshop of choice for rebuilding the head units. Post some picks and enjoy!
