Going after the stock short block record I have a 95 camaro with a stock 5.3
The 5.3 only has rod bolts, head studs, valve springs and ls6 cam
The speed parts
It has an 85mm t6 1.0ar turbo, non intercooled with water/meth
car made 640 with loose converter
changing the converter this week and going back to the dyno then to the track this weekend I am hoping to run in the 5's first time out and then go from there

great to see someone is going after the record but you would need to chop that pig in half to keep up with his RX7. best of luck to ya. Also i do believe ARP rod bolts disqualify you from the stock bottom end bracket.
Thats what I say. 1/4 or bust. As for 1/8 mile I can't remember if skinnies still had it or the guy with the s10 broke his 1/8 mile time.

3150 race weight and made 640 on 15lbs driving through converter, planning on pushing to around 25 lbs
There was a gto that made like 825rwhp
I hope the rods will hold up
I am planning on running the 1/4 mile as soon as it is fast enough to beat the 8.9x in the 1/4 with the 1/8th time (5.60's or faster)

What fuel? You might need more than 25psi to get that 1/8 mile.
If you do get that 1/8 mile it might not stay together for a 1/4 mile pass since it puts more stress on the motor down the stretch
That GTO was done by hellbents on here. It made 825 on 22 psi and shortly thereafter it started to bend the rods. It ran 9.90 and it weighed in at 4000 lbs IIRC

that is why i am not going to run the 1/4 till I know that i have enough to beat the record
This has been a tuff year for me, I have had nothing but problems but finally getting it sorted out (switching to a tighter converter) and from a leaking air to water to water/meth setup
the car has the new holley efi on it (I love it)
was on E85 fuel system not big enough switching back to race gas

hey man, good to see you going after a record. it is not technically a stock shortblock since it has the rod bolts, but im still excited to see what it does.
also cool to see another holley efi user. I would recommend you create some failsafes. eg, if the duty cycle goes above X, cut spark and fuel, or if the AFR goes above Y, cut spark and fuel. it is very easy to do. if you need instructions let me know.
looks like your setup is very efficient. I would be interested in seeing your final base table. maybe we can swap tables.
btw, my car is about the same weight as yours at 31-3200lbs and it took 15psi to run 6.04 non intercooled so I think you can do it on less than 20psi.
i cant wait for skinnies to take his car out again. I think i read it was somewhat detuned on the 5.8 pass?

Rod bolts do not constitute a forged bottom end thus it is still a non-built non forged bottom end. Give the guy a break for having more ***** than most of you for pushing a combo like this to its max....

Hopefully late September I can take my 4 door to the track I ran my 10.0's at so I can make some more passes in it, shooting for 150+ mph and low 9's. It's definitely not a light car, as it sits its 3700+ lbs, been 142mph on 17.5lbs and now running 24.5lbs(just a single 76 tho), plus will be dropping some weight.
Skinnies did you happen to look the motor over before it went into the LTD? Any plans to look it over when it goes back in the 7? At least take the pan off and check the bearings and take some pics so we can see what the inside of one of these things looks like after many passes at the strip and the abuse we've thrown at them...

Not to be a nit-picker but everyone is saying the rod bolts disqualify it as being a "stock" short block when I would think the cam makes it less stock than the bolts. To me stock means the way it came from GM. No mods at all. Just sayin.
