Carbureted LSX forum - 1rst track results for the junkyard dog

I was pumped to get this thing to the track and see if my dyno results could be backed up
http://ls1tech.com/forums/dynamometer-results-comparisons/1544614-my-6-0l-engine-dyno.html
I had everything ready and took the car out on the street for a shakedown on wed. Just my luck I picked up a nail in 1of my ET Street Bias tires:bang:
so I find out that this type of tire cant be repaired:bang:
I decided I still wanted to go out and have some fun, so I threw on some old drag radials (stick cars DO NOT WORK with radials), and managed to run a severely traction limited 10.91 @ 130. I am officially required to slow it down or install a cage!
I think it is showing close to the measured power, but down some, These track results are in FULL STREET trim through exhaust. The tune is not perfect yet and I definately did not hit my shift points accurately. There is ALOT going on in the first half of the track with this 5 speed, lol. Too much fun!
For those wanting to run this through some calculators, the car weighed 3425lbs w/ me last year, and I have not re-weighed it with the changes - it should be close.

What was the total vehicle weight? Cannot remember.

I want to know when power will fall off in that SOB, was still climbing at 7500.

I have not re-weighed the car but it should be very close to last year, at 3425 w/ me
on the dyno we pulled it past 7500 on a couple runs, and power fell of after 7500 on both

Nice man get a slick on that thing and get the 60' down!

Welcome to the 10s!
Great job, much more to come I'm sure as you sort it out.

Well, change that sig and hit the powers that be for a 10 second club user title!

Done, and Done! lol

Good times! You'd be 10 flat with a better 60' no dougt.

Awesome stuff man! I've been waiting a long time to see these results. How bad did that thing spin?

You are in higher altitude as well?

Put a set of tubes in ur tires and go back again. cheaper fix than buying a new one. good times man. sounds like it has a lot more.

Very impressive! Hoping my trickflow headed lq9 will bust into the 10s this weekend!

You are in higher altitude as well?

My track is at about 700ft

Congrats on the first outing!!
Excellent results plenty more to come for sure...

700 foot is pretty good, I would like to see how fast that thing will end up.

Nice work 3pedals. Mid to low 10's are just around the corner for you.

Good luck 06X6spdGTO, I'll be watching your build/thread too. I'm hoping to finally get my 10 sec timeslip next month.

hate to thread jack,

But weather for my car doesnt look to great for great passes, hopefully it changes!!!

Weather Channel: Saturday May 26th, High of 94* Windy.

Not good for a track 2000+ft Elevation!!

Great first outing for that new combo!

Your DA was probably somewhere in the 1350-1500ft range.

Hook that bad boy and you should definitely be seeing some mid 10 second passes.


How is the low speed response of that cam?

throttle response is AWESOME. Engine does NOT like being under load below 1800, and will buck slightly(under load) up to 2300ish. Pulls cleanly from 2500 up.
I'd like to advance the cam a couple degrees, but cant untill the engine comes apart, as PtoV is tight right now.

Congrats on the results Barrett. I think 130 mph with a weight of 3425 backs up your dyno results. Eric L

That is a monster street car now! Gotta love a 130 mph 1/4 with no safety equipment. :cool:

Well, I won't run it again till there is some pipe inside the car.........

Sweet! Nice MPH! Got a video from inside the car ;)

no vid, unfortunately.
But I would LOVE to get a GO PRO setup. An inside vid showing out the windsheild, but still showing the shifting, would be real cool!

i stuck a friends gopro on the pass side quarter window inside the car. could see me and out the windshield. got one of my own for my birthday but havnt used it yet.

pretty cool to watch yourself drive! lol

very nice times so far!

Put some tubes in those ET's and run it....what better way to leave the track :D

I would just practice launches and run it to half track or so until you let it all hang out and are asked to leave....just an idea ;)

and :cheers: on the 10.9's

So realistically what are you hoping for after you cage the car?

10.30-10.4x with the added wieght of the cage?

Bruce

Yeah, that's what I think it should do, but I'm sure there will be a fair bit if chassis tuning to do, to get there.
Thanks for the cheers Doug

27mph on the 2nd half.....low 10's are in the bag once it hooks and shift points hit.
