LT1 with 373's & 2800 stall...
Hello all. Curious to know what the "added" torque/HP/ET, is to a 94' LT1 TA daily driver, with 373's & 2800 stall. Also a stage 2 flowmaster. I have an 02 LS1 M6. It seems the LT1 is way quick off the line vs the LS1, but from a roll the LS1 M6 murders the LT1.

The elevation is sea level, (South Florida). The only other mod is a CAI. I also have an additional coolant line that keeps the motor at 160-170 degree's most times. I had a few "experts" opine that the optimal stall for a stock LT1 & the 373 gears was somewhere in 2600-3000, so I chose 2800. On a 1/4 tank or less of gas, at WOT, the stock tires just roast from start. I assume DR's would help.

Ahhhh sea level
lucky doggg, on drag radials you will get much more lateral acceleration, time for some Longtubes,1.6rr and a tune should see 12s with ease.
you should check out javier97z or www.zmydust.com he is on here and has done very well with his Z.

I got 12.9s running longtubes dumped, 3.73s, and a 3200 stall. Oh yeah a mail order tune to get rid of stall wall and I still have the stock air filter assembly. So you should see 12s easy at your elevation.

I forgot to mention, I use the HPP tuner for the gear change and shift point/mph changes. It took about 6 times to get it running good, regarding shift points. I have a slight stall slipage, but I think most other drivers in the car wouldnt notice.

A good stall is a MUST for any kind of performance in an A4.

I also ran 12.8s with a 3200 stall, LTs, and stock 3.23s. Had mad tune and quite a bit of UMI rear suspension parts as well, but not "full" boltons. H/C's the stock shortblock before I finished seeing how far I could go.

Same here on the suspension, the drag radials I had were a worn out old set of Nittos, best 60 cut was a 1.72. Even though I'm doing heads and cam now, I also wish I would have stuck to the bolt on stuff just to see how far in to the 12s I could have gotten. I dont care about making the car a tin can or going nuts with it, but I really think a good running full bolt on LT1 can be an easy/consistent 12.30-12.50 car.
