Default Anyone Know anything about Tom Olsen??
He has a 95 Z that runs in the true street class. Ive heard he went 7s with a LT1 already. Can anyone confirm it is indeed still a Lt1, heres some 8.4 passes in the car.

On this page he says it's a SBC. I doubt very much if it's an LT1 - otherwise we would have heard about this car a long time ago.

In what? I dont see why it couldnt be done with a SBC top end conversion, brodix will even do the conversion on the heads for you.
