I want to say that the guy that bought the car is not your typical V-8 guy and is a good guy. We talked him into taking the car to the track since we had planned a track day on Sunday after the show. After a little talking he was all for it since he had never been the track before.

Of course never being to the track before and being a 6 speed car he was not the best at driving the car. He did no track prep to the car and a few times actaully went down the track with the windows down. Not that alot of this matters just so everyone knows.

I myself say the car with a good driver in street trim with some air let out of the tires should run around a 12.7 or so. Put some DRs on the car, heat them up and hope they hold and I am sure the car could get down to low 12s. But all this is just what I think and not worth anything until it is done, which I don't see that happening.

I don't remember what the MPH was on the LS1 cars runs as I was running my car also. I can tell you that the 3800SC/5 speed(1.9 rockers/3.4) that I installed into a friends 86 SE was beating him. But if the LS1 car would have had a better driver then I think that would not have been the case.


I can say I give the guy props for taking the car to the track and running it unlike so many other V-8 owners out there. I also check out the car at the show to see what I liked and didn't like about the install.

The rest of the story he posted on his home forum. BTW he is entitled to his opinion and I will respect that, I just hate when people are deceitful at the expense of others.

You are the one bringing in a quote from another Thread that is on another Forum. The hatered for people who drive V-8s--That's funny right there!!!!!!

Can you give me a breakdown of the transmission cost?

Cyro treating-
LSD-
LSX Adapter-
Clutch pressure plate combo-
Anything else I'm leaving out-

I know the trans themselves are selling pretty cheap, but the cost to put it behind an LS1 compared to the stregth of it makes me have a lot of doubts. Do you think of will last?
