Fast LT1 Nitrous guys in here
I think it could be done with a max effort setup but it would cost at least as much or more than building a 408 LS which would have a lot more potential. If you really think it could be done with an LT1 could you give me a setup that you think would get it done. I am really torn between staying LT and going LS.
oh yea, and this is on 275 goodyears, btw.
Carb is not an option since I have no idea how to tune one and would have to pay someone else to do it. I half-*** know how to tune an EFI car and one of my friends does a lot of LS tuning so I can always ask him for input.
I understand that all heads up classes get faster over time and that I need to aim for 5.50's at least.
Here is the qualifying sheet and results from the X275 race at MIR. Most of the guys are in the 5.50-5.60 range and this class has a lot tighter rules.

my stock shortblock is running 5.9x's with an .082 jet. i am probably going to be building a cheezy scat forged 383 soon with a race/nitrous oriented cam and more compression. with the same ported factory casting heads i hope to pick up 2 tenths or more. that would put me in the 5.70's with the .082 jet.

Not to hijack the thread, but I have a 358 LT1 complete with LT4 intake, TNT plate mounted behind TB (no solenoids), TB, PCM, harness, water pump, opti, everything, all for sale as a complete unit. It has been 5.80s in a 95 Camaro at 3600 lbs and consistent 6 teens on a 200 shot. Also with it is a fresh 396 LT1 shortblock with 3 center billet caps, billet rods, 4340 crank, forged dish pistons and lots of machine work done to the block. If interested, send me a PM.
