Wheres the Top 100 Fastest List??? Did the old list make it over to the new board? I cant seem to find it. I am searching for an LS1 346 with STOCK Unported heads and a hydro roller cam running 9.99 NA. Does such an animal exist? I would like to see the list make a comeback soon. Thanks for the Help. Bear
Yes such an animal does exist,its the car of AL Corda and it went 9.97 I believe. It has stock unported heads and an Ls1 intake I believe. Its also a NHRA stock elimanator car,the record holder for A/FIA. The car is tuned by a place called High-tech motorsports.

yes its a gm casting. you should check out the rules for those stock and super stock classes. very interesting. and i thought Al tuned his own car. i do know he runs the Accel dfi. i saw the write up on him in national dragster after he made the record run

Those are awesome times no doubt but if you think those heads have had ZERO work done to them... 
There are tricks done to the valvetrain to make those "hydraulic" cams function pretty much like solid lift cams too. JFYI

I don't know for sure, but I heard they are $30,000 dollar motors that have been gone over with a fine tooth comb. Al set that record the first race of the year,but haven't really heard anymore about him this year. Is he still competing in the NHRA series,or is he sitting out ? Anybody have any info on him ?

I see it's time again to dispell some myths about Al's car.....
for starters, Al went 9.97 @ 131.84 MPH at the '03 Winternationals in A/FIA (2925 lbs w/driver @ 342 NHRA factored hp). The cost to build one of these engines from scratch is about $12,000 including the EFI and ignition system. Al is currently using a Holley Commander 950 EFI and Annhilator DIS ignition system but that may change in the future. The cam is a .500" lift hydraulic roller but duration and LSA are open..... don't ask what the numbers are because I won't tell...... however, we cannot put valve reliefs in the replacement flat top pistons so piston/valve clearance IS an issue. We have to use 1.25" valve springs and steel retainers, stock rockers and adjustable pushrods. We have used both stock hydraulic roller lifters and Schubeck modified lifters but have found very little performance difference between the two.
Colonel... the heads are out of the box 853 castings with bronze guide inserts, a good 3 angle valve job and the surface milled to minimum chamber volume by rule. They have NO cheater/hidden porting done to them whatsoever. They have gone through teardown and this fact was obvious to the tech officials who examined them.
The car DOES use an LS6 intake as came stock in '02.
The car gets it's performance because of many lightweight/ low drag components and more R&D time than I care to remember.
BTW - Al's car COULD run on pump gas but NHRA only allows specific fuels so Al uses VP C-11.

Brian,
I saw the car at the Memphis race. No doubt the car runs well, it's very impressive!
Great job at showing the world what the LS1 based engine is capable of! But it is far from what most of us here call stock.

Not trying to get pissy.... just trying to say that these Stock Eliminator cars are a lot closer to street cars than you may know.
