Finally got to run a LS1!! Finally got to run a full bolt on LS1 tonight...def have more respect for their top end now..lol
As my car sits on the dyno it put down 260@RW..it's running really lean and the guy told me I'm losing out on some HP's...The Ls1 put down 357@RW
From the dig on our 1st race I pulled him until 80 then he spanked me.
Race 2 I had him until 115 and again...he pulled on me. Got me wondering about my dyno and how low my numbers were. I def need a good tune. Oh well, my head and cam package is coming soon and we will see what happens to him next time.

Yup..embarrassing. Dyno shop told me it was the lowest numbers they had seen pulled out of a bolt on LT1. It feels strong up until 4th gear and it starts to cut out a bit..at about 110-115..could be my fuel pump or opti not sure.

my friend just got a 98 LS1 T/A with supposedly a chip a couple weeks ago. I've run him twice with my LT1 with only a cutout and both times I've beaten him. The first time I know he wasn't use to the car yet, but we did a 40 kick and I stayed dead even with him untill he missed 4th.
The other night we raced from a dead stop and I had a car length on him to 115 when we got out of it, ran out of road.
It seems like he doesn't pull on me at all, even at higher speeds. We're going to swap cars and run and see if its the driver..
he's changing his plugs and air filter too. Said they were bad..
