Default New best for the lt1.

What can I say. With the great weather we've had over these last 2 days, I was able to get a new best with both cars. Last night the ls1 and today the lt1. Here is the lt1's run.

60'...1.553...NEW BEST
330..4.764...NEW BEST
1/8...7.51.....NEW BEST
MPH..89.50
1000.9.886...NEW BEST
1/4....11.89...NEW BEST
MPH...112.98

On my first pass of the day, I ran an 11.90 @ 116.1(new best) mph with a spinning 1.62 60'. The ole lt1 has some serious torque but is lacking something on the top side. Hopefully I can find those lost ponies and hopefully get this thing deeper into the 11s.

The heads were done by ARE (Agostino). I've had the package for over 4 years so I'm sure there are better heads on the market now. My flow numbers (270/197) are probably easily achieved nowadays. The tuning was done by Jeff/Fbody central.
