Magnus and 01-Z are not cheaters, I have been to the track with these guys a 100 times and the nay sayers just have no idea what it takes. I have started to make my car light and I am no where even close to what these guys have done. E.T is not all made from power, it depends on how heavy you are. With 100rwhp and 200rwtq less than I had and 400lbs lighter I went .4's faster. So if it's all about hp tell me how that works. And if you think cutting a 1.31 60 ft is easy your nuts.

the most incredible part is how well the cars launch. it isnt about the power or if it has heads. hell 99% of us here couldnt run that number with head/cam/built motor setup. its about the setup of the chasis that allows it to go on kill and stay in it. incredible.
if you have a hard time believing this stuff, dont dare go to NHRA stock eliminator. definately dont talk to al corda and his ls1.

It's not rocket science.....the car is light. Magnus has his **** dialed in, plain and simple. No reason for people to get pissed or call bullshit.
Would it be more believable if he went 10.94 at 3420 lbs cam only? 600 lbs = about 6 tenths in most books.

Why is everyone getting defensive, nobody called bullshit. We were just looking for more info to help us feel comfortable with the timeslip. I mean honestly I could care less if he cheated or not.. and I'm not saying he did. Mdblackz28, I have about 1000 bucks in my 86.. I'm not really interested in going 10's in it though.. But like I was saying.. If you think we are calling bullshit then you are completely misunderstanding our post. I said it once and i'll say it again PROPS to having a fast *** car. That thing is sticking like glue

Nice times. Magnus is legit, always has been, always will. He got **** back in the day when he crushed the v6 records, and now this.
Would you mind posting up what parts you do have so that some of us could learn?
thanks

Tell you what-
I will put the title to my car up to ANYONE's 1,000.00.that wants to break my or
Keiths car down and inspect the heads.
If you find any head work, I will sign my title over to you.
If you don't find any head work,I will use your 1k to buy a another converter.
Fair enough?
This is a 100% legit offer if anyone thinks I'm kidding.
I'll supply the tools.

Congrats Keith! 
DAMN what do I have to do to keep you guys from getting close to me. 2820lbs raceweight 
That would get me 9.5-9.6@141.
Hmmm..I do have a TH350\converter\carbon shaft hanging around.
You guys need to remember that my car is an M6 at 3250 lbs with a motor set up for nitrous. You can tell that my 136.8 MPH shows the power,just hard to get the ET with my type of setup.

Congrats Magnus, I know what it takes to do this. I just hate that our nearest good track is 600 miles away or else we'd try again. Guess I gotta take the wiring harness apart too, planned on it just didn't want to.
The fast cam-only cars are believable. Nothing really rocket science even going on, that car would probably go 10.50's with a 224 cam, the timeslips come mostly from the chassis, not all of its the cam. When you say "cam-only" its kinda misleading, but thats what the powerplant does consist of.

JP, can't believe you would go about it like this. How many times have I said, you gotta get the car's weight down and it will run with very little done. Did you see he was sub 3000 pounds? He built this car for a goal and I would say he is doing very well with it. Take notes and maybe you can get faster. This is not shocking, just very smart and a practical approach.
Good luck with your car, hope to let you see the tail lights of the LT1 soon, if you show up at the track....

I can believe whats been contemplated, its surely the whole car not the engine...I mean look at mine even though it is a Lt1 ... not only that but I personally tore down the "former" stock internal record holder on this board (Hawkin01) and it was, as it came from the factory...
On serious note though, magnus you better put some heads on it quick or we'll get the 9's first with a hyd. cam 346 ,on pump gas ..testing the other day showed ,,well
Personally, I'm shooting for the record for most hated red Trans am with bogarts this year...

sorry for asking a question, love to be flamed i guess... if anything you should take questions as a compliment, if its that amazing to make ppl wonder then damn, ur doing something right! secondly, the only reason i was kinda curious is the top 4 went from 10.60-10.90 to being like 10.30-10.50's in a very short short time.. yea i know they trailer the car shon herron, and i know they are all sub 2900... magnus said he was like 2700 or something right.. just eventually you'd think you'd have to hit a wall somewhere right.
my apologies...
oh and criag the other guy never questioned a thing, i was the only one who did, so no need to put him in this with me..

thanks goodluck with ur car, and i believe ur last lt1 did that at jackson, should be a bit harder this time tho... and thats if i ever get it running again.. im tearing it down to check everything for possible damage, such as the pistons, better then putting the cam in only to dyno 300rwhp and do a leak down and then have to tear it down.. im going to go thru it first, and try and learn a thing or two while doing it ya know, so it might be a while, but it should be fun.. however evertying is bought and paid for except gear, pulley, tune and one or two other things, unless i find the shortblock to be scrap ofcourse.

On a humurous note, you said we keep the title if we find head work...what about bottles or a not so stock bottom end
