Default lt1 running low 11's???

ok there was this ******* tonight with an lt1 camaro and he thought he was the ****. So we were all hangingout(my car buddies) and we almost got into a fight with this ******* and his friends but the question is he said that he runs low 11's with this lt1 of his. To me it just does seem possible. He said he's almost in the 10's umm idk about that. His mods are turbo 400 with 3500 stall and 3.42 gears with a 150 shot. He said that the motor was never opened up it is completely stock. Is this believable b/c i just dont seem it is possible?? We would have raced him but it would have been after we got out or jail for fighting this dude. Please put some inputs in

yea this all seems pretty legit to me. there are lt1s on this site that go low 11s with bolt-ons. i could be mistaken but i think the bolt on lt1 record is in the 11.3s? but these cars are heavily gutted and are running almost every suspension mod w/ slicks id imagine

I would say it's entirely possible. I went low 11's (11.21) on a 100 shot in a cam-only LS1 car with a 6-speed. Autos are a little faster than I was, so I could definitely see an auto LT1 with a 150 shot getting there.

both of you sound pretty retarded, you could just race and settle it but instead you almost got in a fight about who has the faster car?

The fastest bolton+spray Impala runs 11.3 on a 150 shot. So low 11s out of a sprayed f-body is completely believable.

LS guys are funny they think anything non-LS is slow, a few local sprayed LS cars have finished the quarter behind my NA stock shortblock whale of a car. I have been asked a LOT of times whether I am spraying, it's flattering.

You might find this post interesting.

94 m6, 3.73s,nittos,LTs,flowmaster cat-back w/cutout,125 shot,Cai,madtuner tune 11.33 116
Lt1s are very capable,had our 94 had some suspension mods like qa1s,
removed swaybar and skinnies up front it possibly could have run in the 10s..

TOTALLY IMPOSSIBLE. An LT1 has never run faster than 14s. EVER. No matter what you do to it. It's not like it's a small block Chevy V8 or something. A 150 shot doesn't act the same on an LT1. 150 shot will only do 25whp on an LT1.

dude should of just kicked his *** thats what I would of done then took his car and made a pass. A LT1 can't run that fast just ask the LS guys they will tell you and why would they lie.

Very possible. With the right suspension I could run low low 11s NA stock short block, fully gutted maybe 10s. With a 150 shot Id be in the low 10s no doubt.

steven, Not that I agree with the guy being an ***, But as a fellow LT1 owner I do believe what he is saying could be possible. However there is tons of variables. Cam Choice, Gears, weather, tires, Weight or there lack of, ect ect that will make or break some times.


My car is stock top and bottom end cam only car with full bolt-ons and supporting mods and is N/A and although Ive yet to test the waters at the track im confident that it will be putting down mid to low 12's on street tires according to others experience.

Not trying to talk trash about ur ride but if ur sig. is up to date than I believe that there are several LT1's that would beat you in the 1/4mi. Myself included

No disrespect but so many people these days think that their LS1 is the best and fastest thing in the world until they have their *** handed to them by an LT1. Then their like

AGREED!!!! my v6 used to spank LT1's all day damn i think i did pull a LS or two lol. with minor bolt ons no spray or boost. be surprised when you can stall a V6 up to about 3500 and launch and pull on a SS the look on their face is ******* priceless!!!!!
