Default Newbie to LS1

Hey, names Bianca. I have an LT1 which is my baby and now officially going to become track only. So I thought I would get an LS1 and daily it cause I'm in love with F-bodies. Not a totally clueless gurl. I helped pull my motor and rebuild it and love going down the 1/4 mile strip. Haven't been in to the racing seen too long but I'm addicted.

Here's my LT1:

Oh yeah... Forgot to mention my block and brake calipers are pink! Haha....

Hi there welcome. So just curious why you would make the LT-1 your track car and the LS1 your DD? What mods are on the T/A? Love those wheels.

Engine Spec.

* 5.7L 355 C.I.

Intake:

* Ported

Exhaust
:

* Borla Catback & Bullet

Header:

* JetHot Long Tubes

Turbocharger & Induction:

I know I am forgetting something. But I started out with this car and put so much in it and I would like to see what a 355 LT is capable of, it sounds hardheaded but I like the challenge.

Yeah, I know there aren't too many girls into the sport but I put up a fight and am pretty good at the line. It also helps that I'm under 110 pounds! LOL

Don't blame you one bit, plenty of potential in that engine and it sounds like you're invested. Just don't get upset when your stock LS1 SS is quicker

Thanks! I love it. Its not too much pink cause I like to surprise people when I get out of the car and pop the hood to see the pink motor!

I won't get too upset. LOL, but I am too curious as too how bad or good that 355 is gonna be on the track.

From the list of your mods I'd be floored if you didn't get into the 12s with LT's, catback and a strong suspension (you'd be surprised the difference that makes), and a nice set of tires. I'm guessing its an A4? A stall would be huge for getting a strong launch too.

Yeah, 12s are my expectation as of now. And I have a 3600 stall and yes its auto....

Suspension is next big mod... I can't wait. But I love the way my drop looks
