How to get to 12's....
 

What mods would a d-d automatic lt1 need to get into the 12 second range (how much power)???

well lets see... I would say fullexhause,gears,tune,and a stall, with stickey tires would gt your pretty close.

thats what I have minus the tune. and im sure i will get pretty close..

the 13.5 in my sig is with stock exhause wth a cut out and a cai

I dont think i would want the stall or gears (lower gas mileage) since its a daily driver... What should i be runnin if i already have K&n cai, pacesetters (stock y, no cat, flowmaster), b&m shift kit (auto), ss wheels(pretty soft rubber), jet chip stage II, and a 52mm tb??

I would say mid 13s..

get yourself some kind of cat back or true duals... the flowmaster sucks.

but i mean if your looking for gasmilage buy a civic.. you have a hot rod not a grocery getter.

seriously.. just save up and buy some 1500dollar beater for a daily driver.. or be cool like me and buy a bike :)

If you dont want to lower MPG any and still want power I would get a nitrous kit. BTW I have 3.73's on my dd and in the city my mpg did not drop. Only on the highway.

I also saw in an earlier post that you are looking at a cam. If you are looking at a cam than mpg concerns are out the window.

I ran 12s with bolt ons, LTs, 3200 stall, still have the stock gears

what are the stock gears?

3.23s

well i guess what i mean when i say gas mileage is that i wanna be able to cruise the interstate bustin a buck twenty and not be redlinin the damn thing...

but since somenone decided to bring up my infamous cam issue... any suggestions?

I had the Hot Cam Kit in mine, got high 12.5's with just the Cam, very mild Head work, Tune, 3.73's and a 2000 Stall. I had full Intake/Exhaust mods as well.

where'd u get the cam, and did u replace any springs or anything when u did it?

Cam Kit came from Summit, comes with everything. It comes with LT4 Springs, they are barely enough to sustain the Hotcam when you put it in and with the 1.6 RR's. I would look for a .600" rated spring for any Cam for a LT1, you will be good for a long time with that.

full bolt ons / sticky tires / lt4 hotcam

Spray It!

Is 16-17 miles to the gallon bad? This is with a cam, 4.10's, 3600 vig and the rest of the sig.

Start with a small cam that increases power in the stock rev range, (Crane 227, Lingenfelter 211/219), and throw the biggest heads you can afford at it.

I ran an 11.9 with my set up. Bolt-ons and 150hp shot.

thats damn good, got a video driving around town i got a 3700 (restalled vig by john goebel)
