Most of video is old, and I did not see any new runs.

The RX7 was a new run. I do have a run with Shawns car Vs my 2007 Buell XB12 Scg 1200 and guess who wins? not me......... i will post our 11.3 run very soon. New runs coming on a weekly basis. Just an old video of a Stock LT1 compilation of our car for all of those enthusiasts who love LT1's which you two LS1 enthusiasts have grown so much to hate and I cant blame you judging by your encounters and observations with them.

BTW I'm calling BS on the 11.3 till the video is posted, with camera zooming in at the time :p. Not some scrolling text that says the time. 11.8 is hard enough to believe, but if that Z ran 11.3 I've wasted a hell of a lot of time with the N/A heads and cam thing, maybe I should ditch it and just get some nitrous. Bolt-on 150 shot LT1s are literally everywhere, and I have never seen one anywhere near low 11s. I have seen people grenade 10bolts spraying out the hole though

Sure its quick in the 1/8, LT1s always are, but I just dont see such a common build cutting a second off everyone else with the same mods in the 1/4. Online conversion calculators do not factor head flow, cam rpm range, gearing, etc. Just some cookie cutter math to estimate 1/4 times from 1/8.

She seems healthy, keep doing your thing and throwing on the mods

Why is everyone using Viagtrous to raise their limp power numbers?

It's for older guys that just can't build it up anymore or youngin's that don't know how yet I guess..

I hear you man. I call BS on our own car all the time. I dont even beleive it either. But your right Video proves it. I will have the next video posted as soon as I come off of these damn graveyards. We will be running at Baytown in two weeks. We will try to have a better camera to Zoom in on the times. As for the timeslip..... here is one but it is back from Febuary.... It is an old time and we have run better since and have upgraded a lot of things too since then. I just have to finish making my video and it will be posted. 2000Camn SS... your name was never brought up in the video. Dont have a complex...... Bad Boy Racing will continue to make videos for the wworld to see. Besides.... I was told that LT1 was your dads car..... My bad..... I always see him driving it.
Here is the timeslip.

Hard to beleive we run better times now huh? And we did this time with a Burned up torque converter and bouncing off the revlimiter. I appreciate everyone for veiwing the video. Thanks for the comments.... My 396 LE3/4 is coming soon to a LS1Tech near you.

I can still see mid to high 11's spraying out the hole(no denying that Z gets up and goes off the line!), but I still have a hard time seeing low 11's - maybe I'm just stubborn and my mind just cant get around it yet We'll see for sure once the vids are up, but either way the car runs great for what it is.

BTW I live in Florida, home of the sea level or lower tracks . Once it cools down around here the tracks are a drag racers paradise.

Agreed on several points.... 1) Too much annoying scrolling, 2) Loud music drains out the lovely sound of raw horsepower, 3) 1/8-mile tracks never are all that impressive to true drag racers, 4) No actual view of time / time slips.

Apart from that, nice vid.

are you kidding me?
man you say that in my area and the guys running in the 4's will lynch you. so what makes you a true drag racer? you run prostock or top fuel? it takes just as much to run the 1/8th as the 1/4. the only differance will be in the rearend/tranny gears and maybe tire size. so tell me why the someone running in the 4's wouldn't be a "true drag racer". how old are you?
