LS1 6sp + bolt-ons = 11's Went to atco a few weeks ago and had CaptHuff lend me his drag pack. I ran on Toyo drag radials and GTO spares. When I first got there I had a loose plug and the car was acting strange. Sat around for an hour, maybe two, while people made pass after pass. Finally got everything together and told Pete to get a video. First pass did a nice burnout, launched to a 1.74 60' and had a really clean pass. Got the slip, 11.80@118mph. Got back to the gate and Pete and Marc are nowhere to be found. Went back into the lanes and made a pass, 1.77 60' and missed third. I let out, put the car into fourth, cruised, shifted into 5th around 4500rpm, and eased through the traps. Coasted to a 14.2 at 90 some mph and still beat a honda by about 20 car lengths. Found pete and he asked me what happened. I asked if he saw my first pass and he said no.. hahaha. Anyways I made the one botched pass at low 14's, two passes in the 11.90's, and two passes in the 11.80's. Track prep was OK. Heres the breakdown.

60' 1.744
330' 4.975

Yea I suppose, I always run with them down but forgot to do it on that pass bc I was in a rush.
No love for the little LS1 that could? I think people are forgetting the car is just bolt-ons with stock 853 heads.

Launch rpm was between 4000 and 4500 rpm. I basically just slipped the spec twin as much as it would let me and get right onto the gas HARD to prevent any bogging. My last run in the video you can hear a slight bog on the launch. I'm very surprised the car still went 11's on that run. When I had stock gears, if I bogged, the pass was always 3-5 tenths slower. With the 3.90's, the car can pick back up into the powerband much quicker, making for less of a difference.
Cool, well I am throwing the idea of a blower around, but havent decided yet, I am concerned about the 4.10's and trapping to high and running the motor too high on the big end, what gears are you planning on running
