I was there at PIR on Saturday. I can tell you the Rob was FAST! I have the same mods as him, except I'm running 3.07 stock gears and he has 3.55, and I could only get 12.6 (first four passes were all 12.6). This was my first time out on the drag strip.
Here a little more info.....

I ran against Rob twice. He would gain after every shift, then just as it seems I was keeping up, he would shift and pull away some more.
Rob still sticks to his claim that he doesn't have hi-flow cats, but man I tell you his car sound GOOD! We both had to make single passes, because when we ran together we were over the noise limit (90dbl).
I know that my times **** (becuse of the driver)! I spun the tires at every shift but 4th! I feel a good driver could have ran in the 12.2's with 3.07's with the track conditions.

3:55 gearset without a doubt is an ear-to-ear grin mod, regardless of the time you get at 1320 feet. The seat-of-pants is very noticable from hookup til about 140 mph.
An experienced dragger can launch a 3.55 quicker. Saturday at PIR, Rob Logsdon ran his 2001 GTS (gears, K+Ns, Smoothe tubes) at 11.96, besting 4 other Vipers at the event. He bogged the launch, at 1200 rpm. Stock tires too.
