well i am trading in my 2800 1.9 stall for a 3600 2.53 stall.

I have ran a 11.706 @ 117.22 with a 1.70 60'

mods are full bolt ons, 3.73 12 bolt. 3350 race weight, tubular suspension and 245/50-16 nitto 555r tires. tr224 cam and ls6 heads

assuming i get good traction what kind of gains may i see with the stall change?

I will be going to the track soon in a few weeks to get the results anyway but i just want something to shoot for.

My guess is a 11.49 @116 with a 1.60 60'

make a guess and if you get it right i will ups you a snickers bar.

From my experience, that stall should pick up well. LS1's power band is shifted forward on a graph. I guess the big issue is what brand stall. Some are better then others.

Provided it is a good stall....I would think you would gain .02 in et.......and around 1 mph.

Just a ballpark figure, but I think it is possible!

My guess is more than 2 hundredths! lol

If you don't light those Nittos up I am going to guess a little over a tenth. I would throw a set of ET Drags on there to help maximize your gain especially with that 60'. :nod:

I say you are going to break'em loose every time.. That 3600, 2.5 STR is going to hit harder then those little 245's can handle.

Agreed 100%!

That's why I suggested the ET Drags...

If you were going to run a MT DR, you might have a chance. But a nitto, nope.

Thats exactly what a guy in an 04 cobra told me. He had the mickeys and i had the nittos.

My. 11.8 @117 1.70 60'

His 12.20 @119 2.00 60'

I recommended nittos to him after wards .LOL.

I know the mickeys will to better on my car but i still have the nittos and plan on burning them up before the mickeys are purchased.

I just got the 3600 in tonight BTW and the nittos aren't doing to bad. Hopefully i will have some new times in a few weeks with the nittos being pushed to their limit.

My best 60' on the 245nittos were 1.67. Ill be lucky to pull a 1.60-1.65

You should drop a tenth or two, depending on if you hook...:D

What was your mph and what stall did you have on your 11.66 run?

I'll be sure to post my times and slip when i get the chance to run the setup. Hopefully i can get the 11 second club under my name

Nice... Still hard to believe its a nitto, and a 245 at that. I guess you had the right recipe to make it stick. What did you end up running??

I have been running the same stall for years. Belive it or not its a 4000 stall from Fuddle.. That 11.66 run was a month after I put together my H/C, I think it was 116mph.

Pretty damn good...

This was from Friday, I guess I need some new shocks.

looks like you need a better rear sway bar, bmr makes a real good one.

silverz28camaro

It may just be the photo but it looks like the car is leaning hard

waterbug1999
09-24-2008, 09:47 PM
Yea, it was leaning hard and bottoming out causing the wheels to chatter on the rebound.. I dint think it was that bad till I stoped the video.

If new shocks dont cure it, then I guess a thicker SB is on its way.

Ask 02blkws6. he is runnin in the 1.50 60' range and said the bmr sway was a huge imrovement over the stocker. Much more consistent and straighter launches

looks like a combo of power and a blown shock imo....

I would check the shocks to make sure they are good (probably are). Looks like a perfect candidate for a rear anti rollbar :D

Here is a link to the one we offer

Does anything have to be welded on??

BMR Tech
09-26-2008, 12:28 PM
Yes, The U brackets have to be welded to the rear end housing and the plates with the studs on them are welded to the car.
