Finally got into the 11s I know guys are able to do this pretty easily these days but I've been trying for 4 years. I've had every conceivable problem. From replacing several trannys to replacing motors. My previous best was a 12.01@113.5 with a 1.67 60' but because of the obd1 curse, was never able to run 11s because any 60' I got lower than that 1.67 would not allow the car to shift. I now have a 700r4 which has had issues since I've had it (won't shift into 3rd under WOT) but it allows a harder launch. In fact, I have to lift off the gas to get it to shift.
Anyways to the good part...11.94 @ 112.3 with a 1.59 60'. My car has 4 year old ported factory heads and a gm846 cam. Unfortunately I had to stay emissions legal or I would've gone with a larger cam. I have slp shorties, 3.73 gears, and borla exhaust. The car still weighs 3670 with me in it so it is by no means a lightweight. I'm in the process of going back to the 4l60e because I'm tired of the driveability issues I currently have. Hopefully with full throttle shifts I can now see 11.8s.

Thanks again. I forgot to mention, this is still a stock bottom end. I really wanted to build a stroker but got pretty pressed to have the car running again after it sat for a year with a blown motor.

The ls1 ran 14.4s when I first bought it but better weather and improved driving got it down into the 13.2s. My shifting was the same but launching is hell with these m6s. Thread Starter
