Larry Congrats again now lets get to work on mine.
10's NA first time out with new 396
all jokes aside BADHAWK if that's what you're running congrats on the N/A 11.20. My best recorded track time was 11.123@124.5, 97SS M6, LME Callies Solid Roller 396, 500 N/A rwhp. Mike Pabon @ICON here in Houston got another 25 out of it before I got rid of the car. Anyway nice to see another N/A person out there. Pepe, thanks as Larry said I'm very happy with the car the only disappointment Ive had is struggling to get the car to cut a decent sixty foot and Larry has a plan to fix that problem so I'm hoping to be running a little better.
Also congrats on building a fast LT1 yourself.

2 goals we have....
1- more driver friendly setup, since he drives this car to and from the track and then some
2- 10's on HP
so the plan is......
FLT Level 5 4L60E
Yank PT4400
This should take care of things just right maybe hit it with a small 100ish shot if we want to sneak in around the 9's

maybe hit it with a small 100ish shot if we want to sneak in around the 9'sI posted some possibilites of his 60 foot problems in the other thread, did you find something?
I Love my car, very streetable. But it seems all motor 10 second REAL streetcars dont get anymore respect anymore. At least not around here.
I still think its a huge benchmark, especially in a heavy car with a small block.
Its a total blast to drive on the street and at 30 mph mat the gas pedal and lay black marks!!!
So what does the OP car weigh?
The stall just doesn't hit hard combined with the std. TH400 1st gear. There is no tire spin or bog, but just lazy. I had similar issues with my old H/C combo and TH350 a well as my old 383 combo, but they liked spray.
The 4L60E as we know has a killer first gear and combine that with a hard hitting / efficient PT4400 it should leave wicked.
10's NA out of a junk LT1 is fly'n especially for a driver which is not a gutted race car IMO, but I do agree many of us still don't get respect.
I did surprise myself and others when they seen my car leave as it did this past Sat.
P.S .. no heat or A/C in my eyes doesn't make it a race car

Larry I hope you don't mind me cluttering up your thread but I wanted to show how lazy this thing leaves since were on the subject.

Sorry it took me so long Larry but I didn't notice this post.... congrats on the 10th on guts alone.... feelz good doesn't it????
I really don't understand how a 10 sec streetcar doesn't get respect...does everyone call it slow if it doesn't run 9's? All I know is that if I had a 10 sec LT1 (or any V8 car, for that matter), I'd probably kill myself. I'd be perfectly happy with a low 12 sec car, just so I don't get into too much trouble .
Anyways, congrats to the OP and others who are in the 10s!

9's or 8's these days are the norm and then the LT1 tend to get overlooked since we are old junk
most people at the track where shocked and thought I was spraying since it leaves so hard and by the results
plans are to not go on the bumper, so that's the reason for having the window switch set high to start with
