I did a rough time count and I think it's in the 7-8sec range. I'm not sure if it's the H.O. but I'm not that excited about the tuner. After a tuning error I was forced back to stock once and found that stock behaved just as good as Mileage XS. For me the Performance casual driving style behaves just like stock but 1-2mpg worse mileage. So far the only thing I like is the faster takeoff...<rant over>

I'm with Frency, shift whenever I feel like it. My 0-60's were like 7.9s and 7.8s. I would think 10.6 is pretty damn slow for having mods on it. But then again, us 6-speed boys do rule!

I hear you man. Just make sure you get the package deal from him, i.e. SCT tuner with tuning package. I say this because he has tweeked my tunes probably 25 times.

I've got the 3.55 gears but with the LSD. I'm pretty happy with the SC tuner, it definately helped out but I still can't even smoke the tires even "power braking". I'm wondering if something else is causing my slow times.

The gearing is definitely holding you back, the 3.55's are dog slow, I hate them. I need to get a real run sometime, I stopped at the bottom of an on-ramp to do mine, lol. Traffic around here makes a straight section of road I can actually get to 60 on near impossible.
