You won't start a pissing match with me.....I have think skin and a thicker skull....
I like your deal, not knocking you at all......trust me.
That being said, we have been 9.71. DA of 3000ft nets mid upper .80's.
Unfortunately no vid of the .71....just the .75.....

Ooof....thats a ways. I heard a rumbling that there is a chance Drag Week might be headed east this year. That would be cool!!! Ill be there again this year...Hoping with a fresh ring/hone it will run .70's in the heat.
Quik95LT1....I know your stuff flies......Phil did the heads. He is a smart dude. Met him several times....Wise Choice!!!

if ya dont mind me asking what you 60' with your car? tbrake or footbake? im going th350 with a coan or ati 8" this year and they both wanna put a 5800 in it....seems awefully large but maybe not i make power 1000rpm under your peak and that converter they wanna run is 1000 smaller lol

For me it's because that's what I have and have been working with for 12 years. My build has really snowballed and if I were to take the next step it would be to a aftermarket GEN 1 block. I only have the stock block and LT1-style AFR heads left of the original setup. Also, I like being different and the 'underdog'. Call me stupid, ignorant, or crazy (or all of the above, lol!), but I like to try to shut people up that talk how almighty the LSx is.

For starters, there's the LTX shootout held once a year in Bowling Green, that a lot of us attend. Switching to an LSx type of an engine is the most logical from a fitment standpoint, but that makes us just like everyone else. It's fun beating other cars with an LTx platform. We are always the underdog, no matter what. Swap in a nasty LSx and suddenly you are expected to beat everyone.
Mikey has run a 10.06 in 88 degree heat with high humidity. A hurricane was breathing down on us. He runs a 4L60E and those aren't too well known for their 1/4 mile times.

That's exactly right, we now can run the 24x system in our LTX cars and put whatever motor we please. As soon as my LT motor gives up the ghost I am looking at other options for replacement.

Talk to Art Reid.......he is the guy that did my converter at Coan. It is one of their billet aluminum stator deals. Trans is an XLT 350. Peak TQ at 6300 and peak HP at 8200/8300.
PS. When you do talk to Art, tell him you want one of the Jake Stelter 7000 stall trailer pulling converters......he gets a kick out of that.

I'm pretty sure the win lights don't care what engine the car has in it. And there are 4 lsx shootouts a year vs ltx shootout with a questionable car count that everyone is keeping quiet. The LTx is a dead platform with pretty much no aftermarket support and no reason to stay in it besides cost.

Having said this, there was a test of the high compression "race" version of the GMPP 572 and they were able to get it to run decent on pump super by really working the timing differently. They did lose power but it ran OK.
I think you'd be able to get some of the LT1's reverse cooling advantages with SBC heads if you added steam vents at the rear of the heads. Like the Pontiac Big Chief heads had. GM was clever enough to use them on the LS engines.

Far be it from me to question a fellow Long Islander and I'm certainly not an expert in maximum compression ratios with pump gas but I've always been told and believed 11:1 CR with LT1 reverse cooled heads was the limit.

First year I ran on Drag Week mine was 11.7:1. Year 2 it was 12.2:1. Pump fuel and an engine's tolerance has more to do with intake valve closing points though. Late IVC points increase an engines tolerance to pump fuel. New mine cranked 215psi. That is about the limit I have found with my junk.
