Bolt-on LT1 in the 11's Hey guys I headed out for some testing last night and was in the 11's from my initial pass on...
First pass 11.945 @ 114.43, with a headwind
1.640 60'
7.616 1/8
89.38 MPH
11.945 1/4
114.43 MPH
Second pass 11.947 @ 114.83, with the same headwind
1.637 60'
7.633 1/8
89.75 MPH
11.947 1/4
114.83 MPH
Third pass 11.912 @ 114.98, with the wind letting up and slower 60'
1.694 60'
7.610 1/8
90.10 MPH
11.912 1/4
114.98 MPH
Final pass of the night 11.860 @ 115.09, after it cooled off a little
1.639 60'
7.562 1/8
90.19 MPH
11.860 1/4

I will post up the slips after I get camera batteries, I was hoping to have vids of it but the camera died when my wife started recording the first pass...

Hey Matt, how's it been?
No, I am really close to the bolt-on record though since it sits at 11.805, I will try again Friday night so who knows...
I also have a race on Saturday but it is a index class and I need to keep it at 12.0 for that class, but I may try an all out pass in one of my qualifying runs to see how it does in the noon day heat...
Cecil didn't have their scales open last night and the first time I will have a chance to weigh it will be on Saturday, but I expect the RW to be in the low 31xx range...

How are you trapping at 115mph in a bolt ons LT1? It just doesn't make sense to me. Is your car gutted?
I'm just curious how you accomplished this with just bolt ons, as the average bolt ons LT1 runs in the 13s full weight and in the low 100s for the trap. I don't see how you can drop over a second on the ET with just weight reduction. So what's your secret?

I'm just bringing this back to the top for a title change, and I will be heading out the the track this Sunday to see how it does since loosing more weight then I had in April, ~200+ more # taken out hope to be around 2850# now, and hopefully finally beat that bolt-on record LOL...

BTW, it's not destroyed in any way, nothing but time and care go into all the things I do when ripping crap off the car, thats why it took me almost 2 months to do the brakes, MC, A-arms, and other weight reduction items and I skipped a few races to get it done rather then rush and mess something up. Hell I can tell you how every systems is setup, what wires are where and why because I spent weeks painstakenly tracing every wire and re-reading scematics to know what to pull out and what not to, it's no way a hack job...
I still say the LT1 can go 11.6s if someone is willing to put the work into it. And if you have went with LW brakes/etc you are doing the things that need to be done.
