Pictures of Jay Johnson's SS
 

I uploaded 50+ pics of Jay's car here: http://groups.msn.com/LS1pics/shoebox.msnw?Page=1

I was extremely impressed by the look (and sound) of the car. Look for it to bust a 9.xx next time out.

Here's a few teasers.

here's the 10.08 post: https://ls1tech.com/forums/drag-racing-tech/115741-402ci-ls1-based-motor-runs-10-08-a.html

Very nice! Someone put a lot of work into that car. Looks very capable of 9-seconds to me :D

Car already ran a 9 with the old 346 combo, he ran his 10.08 all motor with this set up, he is trying to run a 9 on motor, and then spray it.
Very impressive car, it is usually at keith craft motorsports in plano if anyone would want to see it in person.

Jay's Camaro is one of THE best looking LS1 drag cars out there right now. I saw it last year at the Spring Break Shootout. Very clean, very impressive.

That thing looks pimp..love that cage..

very nice car..

those sure are some nice C5R valve covers. wonder where Jay got those from...

... & why the heck is the battery still in the front??!

That's one badd ass ride!!!! I love the hood with the quick release fittings!

I like the paint job.. I'd like to do something like that on my car.. :thumb:

you cant see it from the pic's, but the color looks just a little different in different light (with the metallic), and on the edges of the maroon there are silver accent lines...kinda radom and rough lines....very clean looking.

I think Jay has a couple things on the list of things to do, but he was able to pull some weight out of it this weekend before I showed up at the shop.

very cool hood..but dzu's aren't what I would call 'quick' very clean...but it took him forever to latch it ;)

Those diagnal cross bars look to be way too high to be legal. Maybe it's just me, or maybe he is really tall!

NHRA rules state the side bars are supposed to pass in between the drivers shoulder and elbow when the driver is sitting in the seat.

I always though that you had to had the forward bars connect throught the dash, but I double checked the rules, it says you only need to connect the forward down bars if you have removed more than 1 square foot of firewall or body for transmission access etc.

I like the design of that roll cage, I am going to have to keep that in mind. I am installing a 10 point chromoly cage in a couple weeks.

Does anyone know if Jay Johnson got that car NHRA certified for 9's?

Thanks for the pic post. The cage is cert'ed for 9's and I
am on my way to getting personally licensed.

A rear-mounted battery will most likely give me no benefit
at all. I've looked at it from a number of perspectives on
my setup. That's not to say that others will not gain some
benefit from a rear-mounted battery.

The setup has put down a 10.08@135mph. First day on
the track for this 402ci motor.
Motor development will continue in it's positive path.
Keith Craft and I are looking forward to what's to come in
2004.

Jay do you have C5R heads? Is the cam a solid roller? Whats the compression ratio if I may ask?
