Default First Time at The track - Bolt on LS1

2000 LS1 6spd.

Modifications:

SLP Lid
LS6 intake
PaceSetter Headers, and ORY
MagnaFlow Cat back
By-passed P/S pump
Removed A/C pulley
SFCs
3.73 gears
Nitto 555r's @ 19PSI



First time out EVER, she ran a 12.32 @ 107 MPH, bogging off the line and short shifting 3rd.

This was at Cayuga Raceway in Ontario at 600ft elevation, and 57degrees outside.

It was cold out, and Im sure that helped with the run. I am very happy with the results, and shows me the potential of the car if she was tuned and we got a better launch.

Now its time to install the heads/cam.

Thanks man,

No weight reduction. It was full interior and everything, I just gave her a wash before heading to the track.

Totally stock rear suspension too, except for the Nitto's and gear.

The thing gave the wrong '60. Its to bad though it would've been really nice to know, especially cuz the launch was bogged

I will say though, that DEM DARE LS1 has sum serious legs

With a better launch I forsee a flat 12, HIGH 11.


Now, why do people enjoy rice rockets again?

holy **** dude. something is up with that timeslip. my stalled a4 ran 7.73 @ 87 with a 1.66 60'. came out to 12.25 @ 108 in the 1/4. no way that 6 spd car launched that hard without A) breaking something or B) on stock suspension.

the timeslip

Maybe i did break something and i dont know it ... but it was totally stock suspension aside from what I listed.

Here is the vid, too

Whats there to be confused about?

3.73 Richmond Gears
100% Factory stock suspension
Nitto 555r Drag Radials

Why cant that 6-speed car launch that hard? The launch was bogged a bit but it sure as hell didnt spin, see for yourself. The '60 is definately around a 1.75

Dont be upset just cuz a 6-speed car didnt need suspension to do what your stalled auto did.

And JFYI a 97 LT1 SS Auto ran 15.0 @ 98MpH. Wheel spin.

We just happened to hook/bog.

You'll hear it chirp 2nd & 3rd in the Video and 2-3 5500rpm short shift.

What? no one believes a bolt-on LS1, 10 bolt, 6 speed, no suspension, bogging out of the hole, can get a 1.04 60 ft?

hahaha

The '60 foot is wrong. But clearly you can see from the 330 1/8 MPH and 1000 mark and 1/4 MPH that its extremely possible.

Although the launch was bogged it wasnt a near stall-out bog it just hooked bogged and took off.

It was good times, and that car is pretty damn fast. I assumed the heads/cam combo would have been sped up because of last night.
