I agree with the mid-upper 10X range. His car runs strong obviously.

With 1.85 SLP roller rockers I am at .523 and .533 for lift with these heads. One of those numbers is for the DOD side (I have dod off) but I can't remember which one right now. Even with our LS6 heads we still have LS1 springs on them. I would not reccommend going to much higher than I am with stock pushrods. I even put in oil restricted ones for that purpose. I have had great results with these rockers and this set-up. I need to get to the track to see what she'll do.

I think if travis could get on a pass at the track cutting a 1.8 1.9 he should be around a 12.7x around 107-109 car runs strong. And no traviss I wont be out this weekend lol! Going camping hopefully, so lets say the 15th or the 16th.

To "only race at the track" you sure have been on some street action here lately...

Also for anything aftert the 1/8th to be "boring" you sure have seem to take a liking in running 1/4 mile.

I strongly recommend LS6 yellow or better springs with 1.8 rockers.

Mine would start to float about 6200 with the stock springs bad enough to hesitate and misfire after the rockers.

I had changed over to the 918 springs and the push rods and was able to extend my shift point for the 1-2 all the way to 6500. I did notice a pretty large gain in torque under the curve after doing the springs, so obviously the stock springs were not working so hot after the rockers alone.

No, the bolt -on Corvette they are refering too and i think it is funny they can say a full bolt-on LS-4 can stay w/ a Full Bolt-on LS-1 When i dont even have full bolt-on's.

Must have staged the videos.

But seriously, we all know automatics run quicker in the 1/4 which is why your bolt-on car is so quick. Put it on the street on regular tires, or from a roll and it'd be a damn good race. After all, you trapped the same as the car in the video running .8 faster. It's all in the 60', which LS4 cars don't have.

Not trying to be a dick, but where's your proof of a full bolt-on vs full bolt-on?

BTW, I know true bolt-on A4 F-bodies in the 10s. There's always an exception to the rule.

If you're just playing devil's advocate, I'm sorry. But it's like beating a dead horse with LS1 guys in this section.
