Default LE1 Heads LT1 11.6's with a 6 speed. Video inside.

The very last run I had which I didn't get recorded, I should have hit 11.51. It is explained in the end of this video why I didn't get it. Do you guys think I can get mid 11.4x? Also I hit high 1.5s 60ft constantly, you think I can hit a low 1.5? I'll take any help.

I'm not sure if clicking HD will make it clearer or not. It will take a little longer to load though. Here is the video. Oh yeah if you have a youtube you are more than welcome to leave any comment whether good or bad. Thanks again.

sweet times man, congrats


I had a friend that ran the LE1 heads with a cc306 cam, he made 10-15 less power across the board vs the three other LE setups i built with LE cam or a BRE cams. You might think about swapping cams over the winter too, i think you would pick up some hp. FYI

LE1 heads are killer pieces for the price. They keep impressing me more and more. To be honest I was searching your sig to see what size shot you were running .

I also suggest swapping from the 306 to a custom cam .

No nitrous yet. I need to get some colder plugs first. What sucks about the cam thing is I just had Moe Bailey dynotune my car with the 306 cam. I really just don't feel like paying another pretty penny to get it re-dynotuned with another cam. I guess I should have gotten one of those cams from the start.

Awesome car and vid dude. Love the wheels up action on the last pass. What pressure are you running your rear tires at? What about the fronts?

Thanks. Rear tires were 14 psi. Running no tubes. My front tires were at max pressure which I think was 32 psi. Why do you ask about front tire pressure?

Just curious, As I've never really known whats best to run a skinny at. I've heard of ppl running anywhere from 30-40psi and was just wondering yours. Thanks

Haha that's funny. We are originally from Chicago. I was only there till age 3. Also I'll definantly try upping my front tire pressure.

GREAT job.

Im thinking about swiping myself a set of LE1's this winter. Would be pretty affordable for me since I already have the valvetrain and cam.

Very nice! I'm leaning more and more towards having my extra set of heads done by le to use with my hotcam. I'll go with a different cam whenever I go back into the bottom end.

Great job, and keep the combo as is - it is working for you. More seat time will yield results.

very nice run, your driving the **** out of that car. any weight reduction done? what was the DA?

oh next time you make a video you should lower the music during the run so you can hear the car/shifts.
