I never called myself one, Brainiac. You do realize bolt ons are ok with mail tunes? I didn't start tuning my lt1 until I cammed it. Is this ok, are you following?

Don't get upset because you're wrong about bolt on performance.

Yes, your confused emoticons are often very necessary for you. If you could read and comprehend you'd realize I've been running 12s for quite some time. On street tires, which I have currently, I must feather the launch to try to keep traction only to lose traction in the 1-2 shift and have to let off to keep from losing control. I still ran 12.9s doing this though. Thanks for the question.

Oh and you're welcome for helping your stupid *** with your tune, since you never said thanks. ****.

Man pretty sure I apologized for all the **** I gave you and all that as well? Figured I would be the more mature person I apologized then you just keep going calling people out and attack people.... Calling there car turds.

Run Davids car.......but you won't be calling it a turd for to long. Your assuming and ******* aspect on this website doesn't make you look cool no one thinks your a badass. Your car under performs and you come up with excuses then call everyone else out...........Until ignorant retards like you post I don't talk about anyones cars. Everyone here is linked to there cars and no matter what it runs most people poor time and money into there cars then have ignorant retards like you telling them they have POS cars. But yet you run 12.9s on a mystery cam with your street prepped car.....its cool and understandable that your butt hurt no biggie.

btw your tune never made it to my car

Default back to the subject of the thread

what little I have learned on the LT1, boils down to this anything over 6500 R's will destroy the stock inards, and if you want to get real KA RAZY on HP have a set of splayed mains installed then play like you are on fire!




P.S. I smell a big money race a comin up, boys put up or shut the He!! up, we be tired of this keybord racing, GIT TO IT.

You apologized to get something from me. It was and is obvious you weren't doing it for any other reason but I tried to help you out anyway.

Who the hell is david? Dave357? How the hell am I going to eRace somebody?

Whether or not you used anything I gave you, I still took the time to help you out. I was willing to let it all go, but not thanking me for what I did is pretty douchey and I decided then to not bother with you anymore because of it.

Is a "thank you" that difficult to PM?

Im pretty poor or I would lol. I hate to admit it but I like the new Stang more than the new camaro. If I had it my way I would have a 02 SS modded to the gills before I had any of the new stuff.

Dont worry I'm not getting one. If I was going to spend 30k on a car it would be a used vette.

I would rather have the new mustang too. The new camaros are watered down GM crap with a nice motor and 800 lbs of extra fat. That's about it.

I'm the guy that bought his old Formula... def a nice car. I would mod the LT1 honestly, it's paid for and has a good sound to it and performance wise isn't THAT far behind a LS1. I know this thread is old but I ran across it and thougt I would post up.

My last car was an automatic 02 formula with long tubes and a lid. After it was tunes it ran a 12.6 on street tires... How I miss it lol.

I love the way this lt1 looks, but id have to do a cam and bolt ons to hope for a 12.6.
If you are not positively jacked about modifying it, don't. If you really wanted it, there would be no question in your mind.
