LT1 Bolt on record is now at:
#41
The track scale has been broken for quite a while. My lowest weigh in was 2785 for just the car. (I'm pushing 220#) I have added some weight to the car but its probably still close to 2800. Weight reduction is nice but gains seem to diminish in these cars as you approach 3000. I honestly didn't see much gain even going from the 1.5 rockers to the 1.7's so 1.6 to 1.7 is probably not worth the trouble. You could give it a try though. You never really know until you do it.
My current tranny/converter combo is not very good. Also my posi is going out so I might be done for a while.

Did you ever get any dyno numbers out of that thing? I read somewhere that you had it dyno tuned and track tuned. I know you dont' care about the dyno numbers but i was just wondering how much you had.
tekprodave put down 317hp / 341tq
myself(roadtrip120) 327hp/ 350tq
How much is your car running?

My car has never been on a dyno much less 'tuned'. I have some tweaks in the tune and need to log some data and lean it out more but as for being tuned, not yet. I might be able to do that early 2006 but we'll see.
I think someone(conrad=fastblackTA) posted on SCFYB that it had not been dyno or track tuned yet.
Once we do strap it down and get some numbers I will let everyone know.

Tuning may make a huge difference. Mine was well under 300 before it was tuned. Be prepared to spend some $ though. Dyno tuning ain't cheap. My actual numbers are probably a bit higher now. It was tuned without the recently installed cutout.

Man, this is great ! Two LT1 bolt-on cars in the 11's ;although, both of you guys are super light in the weight department compared to me (3500 lbs.) give or take a little bit. I can't believe you guys are pushing 114 !!!! I still want to see how fast I can get mine to go at 3500 lbs ( car weight). I would be happy if I could do some 12.20's @ 110/111
Congrats again

Yea, I knew SARK2 was the first one in the 11's. I was trying to say two more LT1's in the 11's.... I'm not willing to rip everything out of the car to save weight. I want to do the best ET possible at factory weight with everything working in the car. That's why I lowered my expectations for ET to 12.20's at 110/111.

the SI LS1s have nearly a second+ on my times, a local SC fella (Silent But Violent) is 7 tenths or more from me.
I do not see the LT1 getting quicker than 11.70. But that is going to take butt load of work and a perfect run. That is 2 tenths...at this point that is ALOT...

It would be really cool to see an LT1 hit the 11.6/5 mark.
I can see another 100#s out of my car and not going to wild, then if I wanted to go wild, that might could become 300+....but who knows...

Other mods I could do is chromoly up front (k-member & A-arms), lexan, fiberglass rear hatch, drag brakes, fuel cell, cutting metal, etc. Some stuff costs a grip though.

Cost is what is so rough now, the stuff up to now is manageable, but here on out is major bank....
Not sure what trans I will end up with, Going to replace this stock clutch once and then probably go TH350 but part breakage will determine when that comes about....Let's say I hope it dont happen.....

I also have a pair of 11.89 timeslips. The best is 11.891@114.269!! I would have ran faster but they had problems with the tree and sent everyone home 3 hours early. I'm sure I would have had an 11.7x run if not for the track problem since it was 20 to 30 degrees cooler. I usually pick up 2-3 tenths when that happens. I was so dissappointed that I didn't get to run. They gave us a rain check for next week which is the last time before they close the track but I'm sure the weather won't be as good. It'll probably be raining. :/
