Default My LS1 Monza goes 11's

I finally got to take my car to the track. Best run on motor was 12.37. Best run with a 75 shot from Dynotune was 11.58 @ 115.00
http://videos.streetfire.net/video/B...y-7_687585.htm

The engine is all stock 98 Z28 with stock manifolds and stock LS1 intake. I'm going to work on it to get it down to 11.90's off the bottle and 10.90's on.

Thanks,

Bill

Thanks,

The rear is a hodge podge. It is a 78 monza housing with 28 spline S10 2WD axles, 2000 Z28 auburn posi, 3.73 gears and a whole lot of luck to make it work. It really holds up good with the 2800 lb Monza.

DA was 2800' that day I later found out.

Yea i know of that rear combo. I had a 9" in mine. This one was a coupe I had a 2+2 like yours also.

Not the best pic but at a street race in FL. By run.

Thanks! I still have a lot of things to do. LS6 intake, raise NOS off rpm, better traction. I think I can do 11.90's on motor and 11.10's on a 100 hp shot.

Man... I used to have an Olds Firenza with a 305, I really liked that car! Would've been pretty quick too - if the tranny hadn't been shot... (Still sounded bad-@$$ though!)

Remembering that though, I don't envy you when you need to change plugs!

Plug changes on the LS1 are a breeze. 10 minutes a side even with stock Monza motor mounts. The steering shaft is pretty far out of the way too.
