So Who's Afraid Of An LS1?
Gizmo knows how to go quick, look at his tricks. This is why I whine so bad about street car vs racecar. Put that engine in my car...12.80's LMAO.
Man you stock eliminator guys know how to do SOOO much with SOOO little. I love Stock and Super Stock.

So, this car runs low 11's on the stock cam? Based on all of the reading I've done on these boards, I would have figured that to be virtually impossible. Does this car have nitrous on it? It looks like it has a nitrous system in that one pic with the hood up. Are these nitrous times?
The car looks nice. Are you planning on taking it to Beech Bend later this year?

Contrary to popular belief, you can run bigger gears and not spontaneously explode when the tree goes green
.The whole build is thoroughly documented - there are no big secrets or top-dollar tricks, and it was put together by a bunch of high school kids. I'm sure if it was just his car it would be even quicker

Verdad Gallardo Weight is only one part of the puzzle. We have spent a lot of time optimizing what we have. Things like alignment, gear set-up, suspension, windage, friction, etc. all play a big part. Tune is a major factor. We picked up four hundreds just by switching to smaller injectors!
Im sure alot of wt is rotaing, probly aluminum drums and light rear end parts. tricked out light weight trans that needs to be freshened evey 20 passes.
Its a race car..... fatboy could put his motor on a dragster and run 8s.....
All I know is this.......... gizmo= runner up. Going to get axed on the tree like you never seen....and I mean chop your head off.....when you chop the head off the body falls. The rest is cake. Your done for.

Good Day to you too!
There really no need to get defensive. Like I said, I'm not taking away from what you've done. It's just that regardless how you get the weight out of the car, weight is a key ingredient. Don't know. Why not conduct an experiement. Either put it back to stock weight or ballast to 3500lbs w/out driver and see what happens. There really no need to get defensive.

Your trap speed is not enough, i will let you know what my stock 6.0 does with a cam. The last 6.0 we built did 7.3 at 96 MPH at 3450 with driver, 3.42 gears and a 2800 stall.
Mine should be better with a manual trans and 4.30 gears and allot of better parts. Keep in mind this was a carbed 6.0 so we have the old disadvantage, because everyone knows carbs suck.
LOL

The "trap speed" argument does not apply to these types of cars. Stock Eliminator cars are made to ET period. Gizmo aint concerned one bit with mph.
A Stock Eliminator car is setup to "front half" and do it very effeciently. This car would run 11.20 I would think with no problem.

His trap speed is just shy of my 400+ rwhp M6, and ET is about .4 faster. Id say thats pretty amazing considering its basically a stock motor and makes 295 peak HP and 292 lbs of torque.
