Not an LS1/LT1 but I figured i'd post it anyways. I Went to San Angelo dragway sunday to do some bracket racing. This track is at 1800' actual elevation instead of 2800' like West Texas Raceway where my old bests were. I knew i'd run quicker but normally this track doesnt hook near as good, but was i wrong, I was leaving the line at 5500, it was awesome! Heres the details.
Bracket Race: Complete street trim. Through exhaust, all the weight, 1/2 tank of gas, belt on and at operating temperature, 50psi in the skinnies and 16psi in the rears. The air was around 3500' DA and there was a 20-25 mph tail wind.
Run #1 TT #1
RT: .525
60': 2.087
1/8th: 9.071
mph: 78.34
1000': 11.749
1/4: 14.006
mph: 99.73
I launced at 3500 this pass expecting to spin, it hooked real hard then bogged super hard.
Run #2 TT #2
RT: .563
60': 1.986
1/8th: 8.949
mph: 78.34
1000': 11.629
1/4: 13.895
mph: 99.30
I raised the launch to 4500 and it still bogged really bad.

I launched at 5500 this pass and it finally didnt bog. he went red so i ran it out the back door to get another TT.

I had to run the same guy I ran first round, he bought back in. This time he got on the brakes at the big end but still broke out against me. The car bogged a little of the line and thats where the 60' and ET went.

I had this guy tree'd so bad i didnt even shift into 4th, i just road the rev limiter out in 3rd till the end.

This car was a Z28 LS1 with slicks on it. It was funny how when i launched I got ahead of him right off the bat then he went back around me on the big end and broke out.
After that they told me that time onlys could be made because there were more cars left in other classes so i went ahead adn decided to go for a new best. I pulled all the weight, took off the Y-pipe, and let the car get cold to run without the belt(it gained 15rwhp/10rwtq w/o it!). I knew it woudl haul *** because the 13.76 was the quickest by far my car had every been in street trim. The actual pass itself actually didnt feel that good but it stepped up big time everywhere. Heres the slip:

I knew it would run in the 13.3's but i didnt think that low! This was the first time ive ever run over 100 in the 1/4 and 80 in the 1/8th so that was cool too!
The downside is my rear end might be on the way out because its making a funny sound on deceleration. Leaving at 5500 is taking its toll. I'd really like to buy a 12 bolt now but I cant afford it right now so the racing might have to slow down for a little while. Overall, not to shabby for a daily driven, stock shortblock, NA 3.8L V6!
