11.68@119.44 on a crappy 1.68 60ft. Since then I added strange DA front shocks, 300# springs, comp 3 ways out back. A new LE cam and tune. Should run a bit faster as is.
You from the sled sites?

big hammer

Oh whats up man! Hows the guys over there? It depresses me to get on the sled sites since I dont own one.
10s NA is the plan but if i buy the kit im sure Ill spray it b4 the car goes 10s NA

big hammer

i'm not over there much either as of late-- those guys are kinda fucked... lol!

i've been lurking in this section because a guy wants to trade me a 97 t\a for my 87 chev 4x4--- so i'm trying to learn what i can about the lt1 and all it's glory... seen your name and car and was like "hey i know that dude.. cool!"


10's n\a would be the ****.. spray it to hit 9's!

duh

IMO, Mike get the drag bar. Then when you want to hook the spray up let me know......We can put together a hell of a fogger setup------200hp min. and go to town . Plates are fine for small timers, but if you're gonna spray it.....do it right! The fogger will allow you to tune each cylinder with the proper fuel and then all you have to do is figure out the timing (ie. Have Speed pull it in the PCM). Then you'll definitely be moving.....Then again this is just my opinion......

I think I can do that!! Ya them guys are nuts. lol.
Put it this way I could have bought just about any car I wanted to build and still chose my LT1. They have mad potential just like any SBC IMO

I'm gonna show you how us small timers do it next year

I just e-mailed Larry to order me a Drag bar .

I think Ill buy a plate kit for this set up. Then work on a fogger when I can afford some better heads and intake. If Im gonna do a fogger it will be an entire new top end.

I aready put in the order for the drag bar, but Im gonna try like hell to get the kit ordered this week also. Just gotta see what the check looks like.

big hammer

thats what i'm finding out. but for some reason they have a poor reputation. looks pretty hard to work on too. we'll see what this 97 t\a is like. maybe i'll add it to the collection yet

duh

iTrader: (16)

Come on Larry, you and everyone else knows you can go quicker on a fogger if you're built enough to handle it, and know how to use it to your advantage. I also know you've got the car flying how it sits, you've just gotta put the big pills in it! Hopefully by the time you're hittin 9's I can actually start the machine work on my block.

Mike sorry to get off topic, and I'm glad to see you made the right choice for the first purchase, and BTW Tax time is right around the corner if the check doesn't cover it right now

Id say nitrous kit but the dragbar works, now your fully suspended and have the weight transfer to keep it going straight. Then hopefully you can get the nitrous and run 9s right next to Larry...
How much did it cost you? pm me if you want

Only because the LS1 over shaddowed it. They are easy to work on IMO. I can do everything in my garage besides machine work.

AChotrod

iTrader: (17)

Ill have to spray a bit more if I wanna come close to Larrys old times. Only thing left in the suspension is front lower a-arms. I have the uppers just havent put them on yet.

UMI bar is ordered and we look forward to hearing from you on the next order

fogger better? sure, but there is nothing wrong with plate up to 250 and that's all I'm after. I will be spraying more with the car next season and it should do well with the progressive and tighter stall.

it would be sick to see Mike running along side of me, but he better having his dancing shoes on

AFR's, Vic Jr , 4150 TB = my time for a fogger

Thanks and I totally agree. When I do a top end like that I go fogger.
