Inquiring minds want to know. I know that Sean Freese ran a 10.30 @ 130 MPH in 2001, but I don't know if anyone has gone quicker than that since then. I just thought I'd ask before the 346 comes out for the 408.

Well, Mike Brown just went 9.97 with a stock bottom end Incon car. Didn't EastSide or someone allegedly (no flames) spray the living **** out of a stock bottom to go 9.8s or something?

 

Thanks for the info. We may have to try out the second stage this weekend on my 346.

It's not an LS1... But East Coast Supercharging has taken a stock bottom end LT1 to a 9.85@135 with a TNT 150shot.The quickest I've heard of.

 

I know the old horsepower store car went 10/teens with a stock bottom end a few months ago. That was Blower and spray on stock pistons .

 

Thanks for the info Sean. The SS is running really well on a 150 shot, and curiosity has officially killed the cat.

I have a stock bottom end, and am loading it for bear with the new rearend, tranny, suspension, and the larger slicks.
I talked to Mark @ Raging Motorsports about a new set of Stage2 heads, and a better cam. Next spring I wanna shot at stock bottom end record. This year is a bust, the car just cant seem to get finished.

 

Does this mean stock cubes or totally unmolested bottom end?

 

STOCK bottom end....as delivered from GM

 

Right now i have a customers C5 98 auto vette on a stock bottom end, running 10.3 @ 131.5

 

9.97 by Mike Brown is the record. I bet he runs 9.8's before the end of the year.

 

You guys are getting me thinking about my winter project...maybe put a bunch of spray and see what the bottom end will take. Once it nukes, I'll just have to stick something much bigger in. ...or maybe do nothing to the Formula and wait 'til I get my next project car in the spring (hint: family car with an LS6).

Been in the 10.5x's the last three times out at Stanton and Grand Bend this summer on the stock bottom end (N/A)...other than the converter, the trans even has the original trans fluid 'cause I'm lazy on some things.

PSJ, come over to M8 on 10/25 at Stanton...if it's dry, I'll be there BEFORE the gates open. Will you have your beast up and running again by then? Take care.

 

We went 10.16 with chuck yates car lil more than two years ago I beleive. 218/218 cam, 150 shot, and shutting the nitrous offf at 5200 rpm because he lost the 6000 pills

After it dropped #8 cylinder, we went from 10.60 to 10.40s leaving off the tbrake with the nitrous so nines woulda been easy with all 8. Someone should bust 9.8s WIDE open.

We may be hunting later this year with a stock bottom end and twice the nitrous for some fun

 

ECS already has......but they did it in the lowly LT1

 

10.30 @ 132 in Vegas with a stock 346 bottom.

 

Who did you bet? I want a cut.

Went 9.89 @ 136.86 tonight.
Slip reads:
1.44 -60'
6.33 -1/8
111.17- 1/8mph
9.89 -1/4
136.86 -1/4mph

No changes have been made to the car since the 9.97. Just good cold air.
I believe I have over 70 passes on the short block. With this setup. This year. Still can't believe she is holding on.

 

 

DAYUM! Be over to pick up my converter Friday Mike

 

I'll be travelin' back to Jersey the week of Oct.6th.... The ECS boys will be runnin' the Green monster at the ECS Corvette Challenge on Saturday Oct11th @E-Town... If your in the area, Stop by and say HEY!!!

P.S. They added a full cage and still netted a 140# weight savings in the most recent round of mods....plus a little extra tuning...should be good for some 9.5-9.6 with the good cool air

 

This could get interesting.... The little LS1 that could
