What do u think a setup like this can run?
I will stick with the most reasonable responses here of somewhere in the higher 10's NA and higher 9's on the gun.
vtec : you have a great running car and I will not take that from, but it's not common by any means to see something that fast with what you have. The intake, race weight, distributor & ecu swap I'm sure adds a lot to your combo working very well.
by your remark you make it seem as if all the others going after 8's for some time now do not have 1/2 decent setup cars
maybe I'm reading this wrong?

LS1 speed- your car would pick up nearly a full second on your 150 shot if you swapped converters. (and possibly gear) would put you in the low 9's. 200 shot would put you in the 8's as well.
like I said maybe I read it wrong, but it kinda sounded on the shitty side
maybe it's just me and if so I'm sorry
I just look at how many 8 sec LTx F-body or Ltx anything for that matter there are. There are not many as it's not as easy as you make it sound with anything IMO.
I know my car can go faster and have plans...
-tightening up the converter & removing lockup to save weight
-freshening trans ( 2-3 slips )+ some upgrades
-EFI Conn. 24x / Ls1 ECU conversion and SD tune
-adding a Nitrous Outlet progressive controller
-building a new 4" CAI with ram air to grill
-removing a little weight here and there
I think it can go into the 9.30 area with a 200-250 shot, but 8's I'm not too confident on. The goals I set are always low though, so we will see.

on motor a typical pass for me in the 1/8 is: 1.60 60' 7.30 94-95mph
a 175 shot pass is: 1.30 60' 6.10 111mph
if you dont do much highway driving, i would convert it to a th400 and get a converter from greg at FTI. run a 3.73-3.90ish gear with 28" tire.
I do drive this car around, to the track 1+ hr away and love cruising at 70mph. This is going to give up a little for me, but I think I should see big gains next season with my plans.
next step would be a carb style intake as I know the stocker is holding me back some now
in the end most have a combo that can get the job done with testing and tweaks is the way I look at things

well I DO NOT have a stroker, I do have the AI 200cc GM castings and my car is over 800lbs heavier and it went 11.5-6 a whole bunch of times the last weekend I went down to the Grove. Believe you saw 11.6s on sunday. I would say if it doesn't run solid 10s you only have your rowing to blame.
Eitherway, well done fella, tell Phil its time for the SR cam........and if you need a guy to put a bar in that boat let me know, I have got just the guy to do it. A little pricey but, top notch work. Good Luck.........Jake
