After some late night racing the last few nights, I hit up the track today. The stock th400 didn't like me all weekend, and won't give a 1-2 WOT shift at all, can't complain too much, I paid $250 for the transmission. Drove it about 500 miles this weekend, beat the crap out of it, and drove it to and from the track...

Here is a link to a list of my mods and previous track times...

https://ls1tech.com/forums/lt1-lt4-modifications/809628-track-results-stock-heads-cam-t76.html

Today....first pass, 8lbs, 16 degrees timing, 91 pump gas, soft launch, lifting for a 1-2 shift

1.69 60ft
7.24 1/8
97.22
11.26
122.05

Next pass, 8lbs in 1st, 10.5 lbs in 2nd and 3rd, 16 degrees timing, 91 pump gas

1.64 60ft
7.088
99.68
11.009
125.27

Next pass, hot lapped, tranny really hated me

1.68
7.197
98.56
11.146
124.61

I then had my electric waterpump die on me. I went to a buddies house, pulled his off his car, and swapped it out at the track. I put in 110 gas mix with the 91 octane, threw on a new tune I wrote...bumped the timing to 24 degrees, added a little fuel so I could up the boost.

Still 8lbs in 1st, and 10.5 in 2nd and 3rd, lifting pretty good to get my 1-2 shift, running a little rich on the top end.

1.60
6.999
99.91
10.90
125.64

Final pass, hot lapped it, 8lbs in 1st, 11.5 in 2nd and 3rd, lifting for my 1-2 shift

1.56
6.94
100.07
10.80
127.82

Here is a video my buddy made from the track today...

That et and mph on the stock heads, stock cam, stock tb, stock pcm tuned by me, and stock intake makes me really happy, especially since I run the stock wheels and the car sounds like a stock lt1 with a catback when I'm not wot. :bow: Oh, plus it's currently my daily driver. I think had the tranny shifted correctly then I could've ran the 11lbs in 1st and went a 10.6x without much issue, not shabby for a 3500lb car.(weighed it at that)

I don't think adding the 8 degrees of timing really helped me much honestly, it's going back to the super safe 16 degrees and staying there.

I wish I could've found some 60lb injectors, I made these passes on 42lb ford green top injectors, 68 psi fuel pressure at wot, maxed out. Plus the maf is maxed out rather quickly, I'm still on the stock pcm tuned by myself also.

I have megasquirt sitting here to go on the car, then it will get some 96lb injectors, and a complete fuel system. Hopefully spring time it will go 9's on the stock heads/cam/intake/tb....in a STREET CAR

Hell yeah! Wish i had a bottom end in my car. My kit is capable of sooo much yet bolted onto a stock lt1 =/

I hope i can get the stock motor in 11's at our 8000 foot DA's... if it makes it long enough to get the track.

CONGRATS ON THE CRAZY TIMES!! Representing for the LT1 boys.

congrats how did you tune it to get differant boost amounts in each gear?

I built my own 2 stage boost controller, I am using a GM 3 port solenoid wired to a switch I have on my floor that I hit with my left foot(used to be used for my 2nd stage on my nitrous). I then run just wastegate(8lbs) then when I press the switch it switches on the solenoid, and then goes through a Joe P manual boost controller. The tune is for the higher boost setting right now, so on the 8lbs it runs rich, but I think I have a way to fix that soon, going to do some testing hopefully soon with an idea I have.

That some hallin *** right there.
What rear and gears you running?

It's a bone stock 3.42 10 bolt that I threw in awhile back after breaking my nice 3.73 one I had.

Over the winter the car is getting an hybrid 8.8 with 3.27's though.

Kick *** time, I saw you're car make the 11.00 pass, it looked pretty damn good. One of you're friends said "oh man, he's gonna be pissed", if I hit 11.00 I'd s#!t my self! I was to come over and meet you, but I was to busy running the hell out of mine. Congrats on getting into the 10's!

Let me know how you're modifying an 8.8 for you're car. I stripped my 10 bolt ring and pinion today! Guess I shouldn't have wasted money on axles.

iTrader: (33)

Will do, it will be hopefully soon. I saw your car out there, but didn't know you were on here.

Ya I was mad at the 11.0 because I wanted a 10.9 on pump gas, lol. If the tranny shifts it will easily do it.

It was a good day at the track, nice with a small crowd. Do you know the owner of the twin turbo Lincoln? I went to high school with him.

Check out the pictures of the 8.8 on the thread titled "it's almost done, custom pics" it looks pretty nice!

Congrats man. When are you gonna swap out the heads and cam?

skinnies

iTrader: (33)

Probably won't do heads/cam for awhile because once I do, even down on 6lbs(lowest setting) it will be a 125-128mph, which is just too fast to have a lot of fun with it on the streets.

Thats awesome man. There was a white vert z28 down at Beech Bend on sat while I was there that was running 10.80's @ 135!! on a 355 (pistons only so he claimed), stock ported heads, stock intake, stock cam. It was a th400 car as well. It did have some suspension and a 12 bolt under it. The kit was home made but I believe he was running 14lbs if I remember correctly.

The car didnt come out of the hole hard at all but got real nasty around the 60 foot mark.

Congrats, I met you in KC over the summer.

What torque converter are you running?

Nice Justin. I think with a tranny that wasnt a mush box, you could have banged off 10.50's @ 130 like we talked about. Awesome job.

oh, Justin you are hardcore LOL... who blows a waterpump and gets another one to change at the track LOL!! thats hardcore racing
