Default deep in the 12s with bolt on LT1

12.776 at 110.82 with 2.013 60' first run.

Second run got a little more agressive off the line and ran a 12.711 at 109.79 with 1.929 60'.

Weighed the car after, race weight with me in it of 3280 pounds.

Didnt get to make any more runs, but I think it has 12.5s in it, just need to drop that 60' down to 1.8. Still running 245/50 Sumikomos on salad shooters with 32 psi. Other mods are in sig. Not bad for pretty much just LTs, a cutout, K&N intake and a mail order tune!

****, very nice times. 110mph is good for 12.3-12.5 id say?

of course with a lower 60' the top end trap speed will drop

all in all, VERY NICE!

Thanks for the replys. I would like to be in the low 12s by spring without spending any money out of wallet or touching the longblock. I want to sell my CAI and use the money to do a LS1 lid with a homemade ram air through the front bumper by cutting out the plastic and metal between where the fog lights used to be and make a huge funnel to just stuff air down the motors throat. Also am going to shoot for a 3100 pound race weight with my 150lb *** in there. I want to remove and sell my catback/cutout setup and put a turndown on the end of the Y pipe, ditch the front sway bar, cut out the rest of the HVAC system, remove the crash supports, put the passenger seat manual track in place of the drivers power track, and go through the wiring to eliminate any unnecessary crap. I have a set of ported heads that I want to sell too, along with the catback/electric cutout setup, the whole interior, and some other random parts I have lying around and use that money for a used 9", 12 bolt, or S60 with a spool.

Sell the cat-back AND the y-pipe and run true dual off of the mufflers. You will shed about 25lbs in the process. You could get $250 for your cat-back and y-pipe and buy some light flowmasters and run them right off of the collectors.

110mph trap can get you low 12's as it sits. Get more aggresive on the launch.

Do the lid, drop as much weight as you can from the car. Run those sticky tires you have. You should go low 12's.

Good runs there. I like the thoughts of minimal power mods and good track numbers. I wish I was that lite race weight, I've done 1.80 60ft several times but weight is 3600#

This is more like ankle deep into the 12's.
With that MPH you should be good for mid 12's easy.

slowmaro, what boltons do you have? those are some good dyno numbers and you are trapping about what I do.

I rev the living **** out of it shifting at around 6100rpm by the factory tach, with my foot still in about 85-100% throttle. Since nobody from the LTx section seems to venture to the drag racing results section, heres some pictures and my timeslips from 2 weeks ago at the track when I did my first 12.9. As soon as I have access to a scanner again Ill post up this weeks timeslips.



A pic of my ram air cooling mod


Gutted interior, guages zip tied to the firewall


My sexy engine






And here is my last run, the 12.923 which the guy I was racings wife videoed us. He caught me at the end after I caught him sleeping at the light.

Wow, if I keep looking at that interior pic I will get the ***** to do that if that is what it takes to knock that weight down. Man I need to add headers, your 1/8 mph is better but not 1/8 et. Thanks for the motivating pics, I'm going to the garage.
