2 the Previous POST, Judging by the lift should we guess full suspension mods and weight reduction.OP is this the case as well?

cam put in about 2 years ago now. The passes video taped there were late 2008 and weight reduction performed this past winter. Changed trans to a TH400 just a few weeks ago, just waiting to go make a few runs (new tires in garage too )

OP, I had spray and got a few 11.7 second passes on 50 & 75 shots, but the video above is pure N/A as was my 12.16. Cost me about 1500 for that evening.

Went 12.1@116mph 1.7 60fts at the track on a drag radial. Does this sound right seems way fast to me. Car had a ms3 cam at one point and was pulled and the tune was left in the ecm would that have anything to do with it? I witnessed it and don't have the timeslip bc its not my car but I just don't understand how it went so fast.
That sounds way off. He has an LS1 intake that is killing airflow, a 12 bolt that is eating extra HP, a stock stall that will kill his launch due to a low STR and yet he traps what cam only autos trap and launches like he has a 3500+ stall. Something is not adding up.

Sounds like he either still has a bigger cam in it, sprayed or fabricationg his numbers to you. I would be very leary about buying this car until I know the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth about his mods and his times.

I don't know what you could tell me that would make me believe an auto with a 12 bolt, stock internals and ls1 intake can trap 116. I know what it takes to get an auto trapping 116 and it's more then exhaust, gears and a lid


Unless he's got massive weight reduction the mods and times just dont add up.

Without heads or cam and no bottle, above 3k#.. Show me one other auto running
12.1 with a 1.7 short time, let alone 116mph!!

116mph in an auto is cam only times, in a decent setup. Full bolt manuals usually don't even by that.

My sisters header bolt on with a yank 3600 runs 12.2 full weight but at only 110. The et might happen but the mph indicates something doesn't add up.

And even with taking 500#s out and better da you would be hard pressed to hit 116.116 is stout for an auto to hit.

As has been stated 60ft and mph does not add up with mods you have listed.

AGREED 116 mph is 11.60 mph with a good 60 ft, something is goin on.

Do stock 460le's have a place to see the converter, when the motor gets pulled I will be putting a cam in it so ill know for sure, but I don't wanna take the trans apart from the motor for no reason but I wanna know if there's a stall

12.1 @ 116, if the motor is stock, it absolutely has a converter in it, and I am 100% that the car is 100% gutted... or there's nitrous on it.

Easiest way to find out. Next time said car is around..... get it on a scale. If you see anything over 3000 lbs... it's got nitrous on it, or a "old man" type cam in it, converter, etc.

Likely, everything done to the car is done in a pretty stealthy way.... but it's safe to say it's far from stock.
