BIGBOS, I see a 11.000 @ 121 with a date of 7-13-2004. If that's not right, send a PM to Brains to get his attention. Or let me know and I'll look at getting it taken care of for you.

I know they are adding a few more people to go in and approve these to make the process quicker. None of the mods really have had that capability so far, hence the delays.

I think it has to LOOK like an LS1 to get on the LS1Tech Boosted List.

I'm open to differing opinions, though. We can come to a consensus.

IMO it must be an LSx engine AND an LSx Body... but, at LEAST look like an LSx.

Any other thoughts?
yeah...one...thats stupid. the ONLY difference between the years (given the fact that he has a LSx motor in the car) is two fenders and a nose piece. who cares what it looks like. He could easily run the same time with a 98+ body. Good lord. JMHO.

Well, RyanJ -

What's stupider STILL is such a comment on a subject that has been discussed sensibly by most folk on here with a WIDE variety of opinions and YOU manage to use words like "stupid".

How did you get into this? Are you Boosted?

Not sure exactly what you need. Mike or Steve might post, but they are usually very busy wrenching Kevin276 might have more info.

FWIW, Mike's yellow car has been 9.9s for sure this year, but needs some attention for now, so leave it off. It will be deep in the 9's before the year is out.
Reckless, could you get him (or you can do it) to post all the info we need for the ranking and I'll put him on if he complies with the final requirements we came up with.

They were:

Requirements:

1. LSx based engine (stocker, borer, stroker, C5R, all ok, as before.)
(In my mind, the C5R is the ultimate engine upgrade for us, and should be aspired for by anyone willing to sacrifice the money or lose his wife over it. )

2. The car must be licensed, titled/tagged and insured... street driven. (That doesn't mean it can't be broken sometime... just that when it's running, you can legally drive it on the street.) This list is for street or street/strip cars... not strip-only.

3. Mustangs? Imports? Forget it! No sleeping with the enemy. Put up a Boosted List on www.Rustangs.com or www.Ricers.net

4. If it's a '68 Trans Am or Camaro, or whatever year General Motors, as long as it has an LSx engine and is driven on the street, it can go in.

BUT, comma...

4. Everyone going on the list WILL give up the required information (as posted in the legend) or it doesn't get listed. (If the list is going to be so diverse, we MUST make the list useful. We need race weight, suspension mods, engine mods, etc. If it is Nitrous, too, give us both your Boosted and Boosted+Nitrous times to be listed, but it will be ranked by the Boosted number.

This was where the conversation ended.

Thanks, man!

I guess you could take my car off the list Mike, it no longer has a blower and I will easily beat that time with the nitrous whenever I get to a decent 1/4 mile track

I think the list should include cars like the black 96 Formula since it's pretty much the same except for the fenders. Perhaps make the list only 4th gens and C5's?

We've agreed to do this, as long as it has an LSx engine.

The Formula will never be tagged or insured. Not that it couldn't be, but we didn't build the car to drive on the street. That is what my CE is for. Give us a couple months and it will be on the top of the list.

Mike can you post your best with the CE to the list. I think you have gone at least a 10.1 this year I know you guys are mostly working on the 96.

It would have to be on the benched list right now. But not for long.

It did go 9.97 @ 136.96 this year at 3600 lbs on a sad 1.51 60'. Goes low 1.4 now with ease. But misfire issues kept it from running clean down the track. That's all being taken care of now with BIG Stuff.

Mike if you are just installing a BS3 it's hardly benched. I'd like to see that time up there cuz you are active with the car.

Temporary downtime for installs and repairs isn't benched.

Broken engines, broken trannies that won't be replaced for months, etc, is benched.

For example, I removed my tranny last week for repair, but it should be back in this week. I wouldn't call it benched, if I already had a time on the list.
