For being an "LS1" truck site, seems like they should already know the saying. And I am still pretty new here, but I've heard it before. An LS1 is an LS1 is an LS1. But now they are talking about the 01-02 having the LS6 intake.... well the 98-00 had a bigger cam... so an LS1 is an LS1 is an LS1.
) should be in the five second range or lower depending on engine health, launch, and how well it breathes. I would have a hard time believing that at the above mentioned elevations, that these LS1 cars can't break the 14 sec mark, when guys with a couple bolt-ons and good 60ft. are breaking into the twelves~! Must have to do with the type of engine oil being used.

Wow. I could only read about 3 pages of that dribble.
.......going back to work on my slow Camaro.
On second thought, maybe I should sell it so I can mod the Suburban.....because a big, heavy tank is obviously faster than a "plastic" car.
Is that board somehow affiliated with srtforums or hondatech?

9 Second Club
its funny how hes saying they are 14 second cars because it was a close race....
how can someone say that when they only raced for a 20mph increment? thats just stupid. Thats not even a 3 second race in a LS1. The car didnt even get rolling damnit.
hell, I ran a 13.6 @ 106 bone stock running on 7 cylinders (had a hole in piston #5 and didnt find out until a week later after the track)

I do have a serious question out of this. Since that one seemed pretty much dead and some asshat had to revive it with his "saying his piece" and how that board is better than others b/c they don't bash other peoples' rides yadda yadda....What is he yapping about posting a 1000' and why would that matter? Last time I was at the track, there wasn't some magical stripe at the 1000' mark with a sign by it saying this is the 1000' mark and it's ok to not race anymore...so why would it matter? Maybe I'm in the minority here, but do we now race to the 1000? Is that what I'm missing? Maybe it's a truck thing, just like going from 30 to 55 and calling it a race.

My 1000 ft. point was more a rhetorical than anything. As one of the members on that board was just incensed at a 1000 ft. timeslip like the person posting it was from another planet and didn't know anything b/c of it. Further evidence that a couple people on that board (as well as a couple on any forum on the internet) are full fledged examples of tools.
Also, most slips I've seen and kept do include a 1000 ft. time...but I'm normally skipping a line down to see the number I'm after.
As for a convertible tranny, I'm not goin there...I'll leave that pinata to someone else to hit.
