Sounds like low 10s to me if you can hook it and keep it off the bumper.

Congrats on a clean install. And who said you can't throw and LSX based engine in an LT1 w/ the stock hood?

That is one sick engine. This swap above all else is what's making me question whether to do the 383 LT1 or the Gen III engine when I start modding the TA.

Hey Merv I have designed a new Exhaust system you might like. I am still sourcing the Pipe for it.

Think Borla only 4in to the bumper. On the passenger side a vacuum or electric solenoid that opens a butter fly for a straight pass through

BTW LOVE IT!

Thanks guys. I got Exhaust on it, just to make it street friendly. We still got to adjust the Fuel, richer than hell..
I took it out and only brought it to half Throttle spurts, it breaks loose at 80+mph on the highway..

I need Slicks..
