Mikey from Rapid Motorsports in Birdsboro,PA made the April issue of Hot Rod magazine. He has the Fastest Naturally Aspirated LS1. 9.65 et @ 139.21 mph.
Mikey is good people. I know several folks, including DaddySS, who have driven hours for him to do work on their cars.

This one's definitely worth a look: http://www.agostino-racing.com/movies.asp Click on "Wade's 8.54" (I saw the run) This is our own Wade Steven's (Agostino Racing Engines) 98 Z which he bought from Chris Andres and took it to the next level (or 3!). This car is arguably the world's fastest LS1-powered street car and is featured in the Feb.'04 "Chevy High Performance". Highlights are a 422 LS1 stroker with ARE-ported C5R heads, TNT direct-port nitrous. 589 RWHP and 660 lb.-ft. RWTQ (motor only!) Race Wt.= 3240 lbs. There are a few other clips on the site that are cool as well! Enjoy!
Best regardSS,
Elie
