Congrats Joe. I saw the runs.

but how can we call it an LT1, i mean the throttle body is on top and it has like 15 degree heads, its more like a bow tie block then an lt1. Are they LT1 heads. If so thats great but if not then its isnt an LT1. Great runs, but just looking for clearification.

surely on the clarification
94 issue Lt1 block
afr 227 Lt1 reverse cool heads
adapted conventional efi intake
stock 94 opti-spark <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> (that should raise some eyebrows)
what else you need to know? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />


thanks guys for the props ...

You guys are way out in center field , i know joe well and know his motor from top to bottom , some of the parts in his motor came from me , and i can ashure you that motor is a LT1 it has """""23 DEGREE"""""" reverse cooled AFR 227 heads and opti spark , hell the block in the car is even matching numbers , its the same block he rolled that car off the show room with . Why do you guys find it so hard to believe that a well built , well tuned motor can perform ??? Just because it isnt a LS1 ????? the motor is a great well thought out combination and i can understand why joe withholds some info on his motor , otherwise EVERYONE would have a 9.86 running LT1 , thats racing """deal with it """ but dont accuse it of being a 15 degree headed motor , thats you LS1 guys

I guess that iron block was standard Fbody issue <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Lets not go there again, Joes car is more production or gm part numbered than alot of the upcoming fast LS1 stuff <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Congrats, that's a killer ET for an N/A small block LT1.

For the guys who are in the dark, LT1's have been running 9's before LS1's were even on the dealership lots <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
