1st time out with my 24x 355 LT1
Made a few passes with my car Sunday. What a joke on street tires. I knew it would be but i had to go have some fun. My best pass i managed to sneak out with a 1.81 60 ft with a 7.90 @ 90 mph and 12.23 @ 116. Car was hazing the tires way down the track. My 1-2 and 2-3 shifts would lay on the rev limiter about 6 or 8 times then shift which it always does with no traction. Shifts perfect otherwise. With 4.10 gears I was crossing the stripe at 6800 in third gear. When it would shift to 3rd it would get busy pulling like raped ape. I was figuring low 12s spinning so maybe I can find the better part of a second with drag radials. Still got to get the tune dialed in to. Its close at wot but probably still some on the table.

Nice work. I'm in the process of building a 24x 355 as well. Could you please share some details on your set-up? IE: Cam, heads, exhaust, misc weight reduction etc. I'm trying to get a feel for what my car might be capable of. Thanks.

Its just an all forged 355. Eagle crank H beam rods and SRP Pro series flat top pistons. 11.3:1 compression. Heads are stock castings that I ported 182cc is what they measured. The valve train is from a set of competition afr heads 8mm stemed 2.02/1.6 valves. Pac springs off the afr heads and LS7 lifters. Had advanced inductions do the cam 228/235 on 108 lsa. Stock ported intake. That's about it.

Yea there's a lot of et left in being able to aim for the radiator with my right foot on the departure rather than thinking easy does it easy does it just don't floor it let it idle for 100 feet then gently press the go pedal until tires squeal... back off repeat 3 times until you get into 2nd gear then get impatient and let em burn until 3rd.
