Built LS1 for Bracket Racing Gday
I'm looking at rebuilding my old Ls1 (190 000km) to run only for Drag Racing.
Cars race weight is at 1473kgs (3240 pounds) and has a PB of 12.03@112.78mph
Mods are 4-1 diffillipo extractors, 4.11 diff gears with full spool, geforce shafts, Over the radiator intake, valve springs, 4500 stall and a mafless tune.
Im looking at getting the car down to 11.2 or better, and would like opinions on Intakes, heads and cam. I have been thinking of a Victor Jnr manifold with a scoop/filter through the bonnet, some ported and decked 243 heads and a 230's + sized cam.
Anyone know what i can do to make the engine more consistent, would freshening the bottom end up with new bearings, balancing the crank, and some lightweight pistons be a good option ?
Worst thing is i haven't got a big budget, is there a better option out there for me ?

Talk to GIZMO, he's a member here and builds/drives stock eliminator cars (both LSX and LTX). I'd be willing to bet he knows a thing or 2 about how to make a car consistent for class/bracket racing.
