10 Second Club - Typical H/C Junk

Its winter time so might as well let the cat out of the bag, nothing special anyways but I was pleased with how it ran for what it is. Drove it to and from the track. Basic rundown

LS2 shortblock, stock rods, pistons, crank
235/243 .621”/.624” 110LSA +2
ETP 5.3 heads
LS6 intake
Bolt-ons
stock catback with cutout
4L60E with a SS4000
UMI suspension with stock shocks/springs
8.8 rear with 3.73s and a 28" radial
3650+lbs

Nice numbers... any plans for the winter???

No plans for winter other than tying up some loose ends and changing fluids.

ever been on a dyno? I'm curious what the HP difference was between the stock cat-back and the cutout

yep its a big difference here is the graph between open and closed.

forgot to post a pic of the car.

did you have to do any flycutting to fit that cam with the 5.3 heads?? What compression are you running??

I did not have to flycut, the compression should be around 10.8:1

nice ride man, much props for running a great time, that pic looks killer

what CC are the ETP 5.3 Heads?? running on the stock GM MLS head gasket??

64cc chambers and yes a stock MLS gasket.

Nice job!

Nice job!

thank you.

Thats a Nasty Ride you got there! NICE PASS!

thank you, I only hope to go faster in the future.

Youre welcome... Im sure you will knock a few tenths off with some tweaks..

Nice! Any video?

here is a vid of a 10.91 pass.

I remember watching that race, nice win!

thanks. we ran it back after that race and Larry sprayed the second time around but I still got him thanks to him having converter issues.

Nice! Thanks for sharing.

Good job

Nice! Car looks mean in the launch pic.

congrats on the runs, very nice times. I have the same gearing and converter as you, but with a 26" hoosier. I thought that the bigger tire would slow you down in that combo, am I way off here?

I don't think that mindset is off, I actually was worried about that same thing but I don't believe it had much effect. Here is a pass I made the year before on a 26" tire. Mind you this was not a perfect pass but a clean one nonetheless

1.55 60'
7.10 1/8
96.28 mph
11.19 1/4
119.61 mph

The only changes I made from then until now were that I went to a bigger FTP lid with an 85mm MAF, added a u/d pulley, and removed the a/c. The car gained 20rwhp and as you can see it trapped 3.39mph higher even with the taller tire.

For your setup and weight, your car is running pretty decent. 364ci correct?

I remember we both had problems with poor ETs several years ago, but we finally got it figured out.

yes I do remember that, you live and you learn for sure. You are correct the motor is a 364ci LS2 stock bottom end aside from rod bolts I'm hoping I can do some small things and get it running just a tad better while I finish collecting turbo parts.

Def nice running car! You have a very similar cam that I have in my Formula. Ours is a LSL lobe 235/243 112+2. Ours being lower compression on stock 241 LS1 heads is really hurting this camshaft I believe. It made 396rwhp and has run a best of 11.7@116 so far but the stock tranny gave in on that 11.7 pass. 4k Circle D stall aided in that I'm sure haha.

Congrats on the 10's! That's flying in a stock bottom end full weight car.

thank you very much it has taken me a little longer to get to this point but I am pretty happy with the car thus far. Really makes me want to buy a fast intake, drop some weight, and see how fast I can go like this.

Your mods list is just about identical to the list of stuff I either already have and are about to do. I am doing a set of 799 TEA St2 heads on the original LS1 from my 02 Formula and have the cam I listed above with a Circle D 4K stall. I'm hoping that I can get somewhere close to the bottom 11's with the setup and maybe some high 10's with a Fast90/92/102 intake setup.

Keep up the good work!

Your car is running hard at that weight. You are where I want to be. I am about where you were in the time slip you posted from last year. I am looking for all the little things to get 3725 lbs closer to 10s.

I did very minor mods from then until now, just went over everything a second time and caught a few little problems. One of which was a dragging set of rear brakes, car tapped the limiter on the 1-2 shift as well, and removed some weight. Couldn't believe it gained 20hp from a lid and u/d pulley so that was a bonus.

Very nice..what headers are u running?

Just some 1 3/4 pacesetters.

u going to stay w/pacesetters?

at this point I don't see me spending any more money on the motor, I have some turbo stuff I'm putting together slowly so for now I may just finish off the suspension.

okay yep, missed the post of going turbo...

Looks like the dirtiest car at the track. Good job Jeff!

it very well could have been, that day didn't necessarily start out how I had planned wish I could have done a few things before leaving. Here is a go pro vid of an 11.19 pass so this isn't a meaningless post.
