Went tonight to route 66 and was expecting to go slower, I think with some fine tuning(I tune the car myself)I could get it to 12 flat! I only have my shift point set at 5800 (I did it for break in on the new motor and to learn how to set up my shift points) so I think I can let them out to 6500. When the car went on the dyno right after the new motor I built, It was still pulling power all the way up to 6200 rpm so it must pull to 6500 easily. The only thing I wasnt happy about was the MPH, but with some tunning it should go up. Unfortunatly the season is comming to an end but I will be at the track in a couple of weeks and again in a couple more. Well hears the time slip, I was 22 and left side.

 

nice love to see Lt1's doin it big keep the LS1's guessn

 

great 60. car must launch well. great et too.!

 

Looks really good. The converter and tires sure help though. Wish we knew more about the setup!

 

Not bad at all. Looks like you were snoozing at the light.

 

i put a holeshot 2400 stall in mine and it dropped my 60' by .2 sec's(from a 2.25 to 2.05). havent made a complete run due to the tranny not shifting right but before i couldnt pre-load at all. clean car, and yes i agree with the top end MPH. not all that good considering you only gained 20 mph in 1/8 mile.

 

I cut a 1.86 60' on my stock converter....

 

Any Ideas to get my MPH up? I was gonna change my shift points but other than that im not sure what to do. Im getting a wideband next week so I may be running rich up top.

 

nice times!

 

Whats your heads/cam setup? Hopefully the shiftpoints and tune help out since 106mph is what most bolton cars trap.

 

^^^I have a 230/236 565/565 on a 112, comp custom ground cam. I have stock heads/intake port & polished by a local guy that does awesome work at a great price. The same machine shop did my engine, after I had spun a couple rod bearings. They reground my crank, did aline hone on the mains and honed the cylinders. I assembled the motor myself and put it in.

 

wanna cookie?

 

I wanna Cookie...


Nice Times bro, that will smoke some LS1's..

 

Nice runs!

 

hells yea, i wanna get my car out and see what it runs. I just got my shift points changed so i should be ready to roll. How strict was 66 on tech?

 

Are you running at 6000' elevation?

 

you should be trapping ALOT higher. over 110 mph.

 

im sure your shiftpoints are holding you back alot...I am looking into getting a comp 230/236 cam for my next lt1 project, how is it as far as driveability? i had a cc503 in my last t/a with p+p heads,LTs,etc...after the engine was broken in i wasnt sure where to shift at, so i was shifting around 5800 as well...after running dead even with my friends LT1 that ran 13.6, i realized i neeeded to shift higher...we raced again with me shifting at about 6200-6300 (going off of factory tach) it was a completely diff race. i guarantee you'll pick up a decent amt of mph with changes in your shiftpoints...i would wait until you are comfortable enoguh with it being broken in first though.

My point was not to go cheap on the converter since people cut better 60's with a stock converter than youre "holeshot" converter.

 

werd, those b&m holeshots make better doorstops.
