Lol he didn't demand it, merely said a 150 shot will put a LS1 into the 10's, and that is for the ones that are spraying, alot of them aren't.
Not all LS1's need spray, Texas-Speed's H/C Stock Bottom-end 346 LS1 is in the 9's, N/A.
(Waiting for the "it's not a street car" comment)

And the OP's pile is far from Cam-only.. it's Stroked, Heads, Monster Cam, Solid Roller..and I'm sure Bolt-ons. Engine wise, a Cam-only Stock Bottom-end LS1 runs the same times is what Demon 383 was saying.

Basically it was someone else attempting to knock the size of Dave's head down about his Stroked LT1 N/A Motor Full-Weight Track queen..apparantly it didn't work.

Don't know man.. this is supposed so be about car racing..not prople with EGO's talking crap to those that are doing the same.

It's to the point of redundancy at the moment.

Hi...

Daddy

Sorry I'm late. I drive an LT1.

Merv, you gonna be in the 9's right? If a bolt on LS1 gets 10.50's, you should be ***** deep in the 9's

Them bolt-on LS1 cars are high stalled Auto Cars.. I'm a stick with 3.50 Gears so I'm not as fast. Me and you are both T56 cars so you understand..

I'll be happy with a 10.XX pass with the T56, that is my only goal. I'm not shooting for the fastest it's got.

Fastfatboy, I recently had my 396 LT4 rebuilt... this time by a great builder and not the douchebag who built it like crap the first time. I have so much money, time, blood and sweat in it that I feel married to the car and the motor. If I were you I would just hang on to the current setup and enjoy the hell out of it.

I still need to work out a couple bugs and then get a better tune in the PCM, and then I'll be back to surprising people who think LTX cars are all slow.

Good luck and enjoy what you have. I think LTX's are so hated on and not given credit, that it's actually becoming really fun to have a quick one that surprises people and shuts up some of the loudmouths.

I'm looking for low 12's high 11's with my LT1

iTrader: (88)

With that LE 383?

It should have more than that.. I guess it depends on your launch too..

Daddy

iTrader: (2)

Why you say LE 383? All he did was port my heads. He didn't build it

the_merv

iTrader: (88)

I thought it was a LE build.. LE Heads & Cam, right?

Who did you find to tune it?

Daddy

iTrader: (2)

Not sure on the tune.

LE did the heads and ordered the cam

I only want high 11's out of my high CR 383 stroker too.

Its just an LTX, so thats all it should run, right?? Even though it's an SBC, the opti has got to be a -100hp mod courtesy of the General.

So I've heard. We're way behind the times. Only way we can hang is spray

Maybe Merv is behind the game a little............................................ .................................Maybe because he was over in Iraq serving our Country for a year or so !.............Dumbass' I say he is doing pretty good for a GI salary

^^Thanks for the support man.. there is a bunch of us here that are Military and been over in the sandbox.

Yea, I'm behind compared to Dave there..he said he's worked at GM for a while. I'd say he is probably in his 30's..

I'm only 25 and working with what I can, I think I'm doing alrite. My only goal is 10's as it is, not to be all out billy bad ***.

It's not necessarily behind the times, it's just there is very little aftermarket compared to the LS stuff.. that is why I switched over.

Yea that OPTI is a pain in the *** for some people..I was suprised with mine, it never had any problems.

Daddy

iTrader: (2)

I wouldn't say a year. We don't go for that long. That's mainly the Army

Thank you for your service cause Uncle Sam sometimes doesnt treat us right. Sometimes people forget when we get in pissing matches that ultimately we are all on the same side, and if we were in a trench together we would be best friends.
