Default NEW BEST

well.............i am surprised being that my car never puts up a good number at GLD but it did last night. MPH WAS DOWN A BIT

9.97@134.8 with a 1.42 60ft rolling into it.

I will be putting a 28" tire on the car and i have to get my BMR sway bar on before i get MORE out of control :p

I can't wait to do some more tweaking,run a 28" tire and spray the 300 shot

not bad a for a street car HUH?

what a huge turnout at RSD(REAL STREET DRAGS)

yeah I think us LT1 guys should just post alot more then maybe they will change the name to LT1tech but I doubt it. I hate that everyone thinks your car is slow when you say LT1. But thats ok because thats how I make money at RSD Nice run Larry how bout you just spray it all right now and see what happens. Oh yeah and do you think we can race at RSD for a tune. You can spot me out at the finsih line and have the hit. If I win you have to tune my car and if I lose well then I will still get bad gas mileage and only be able to rev to 5800 with a cam and valvetrain good to at least 6400

MAYBE WE CAN WORK SOMETHING OUT

I think the LS1 guys are not happy to see LT1 cars kick'n some A$$ :p

I just want to keep it together for awhile,so i will spray it big later in the year.I don't want to break anything,since this is not a shop sponsored car. I pay for all my parts and it all adds up quickly even with my prices.

I know there is a bunch still to be found in the car as it sits now

Larry

Yeah I agree with chevy guy. I was just wondering if anyone saw my other post about throttle body and injectors. I was just asking when its time to upgrade them. Oh yeah I also need the emissions stuff tuned out too Im just real short on cash but hopefully I will have the money by Aug when I have to go take it. Hey since some knowledgable LT1 guys are in this post I have another question. Hows my mph/hp for a self ported heads and a 224/230 XE 112 Lsa and lt headers? Is that pretty good for those mods. That was completely untuned on a cold 46 degree day at GLD. Yeah Larry I like beating up on LS1s and LS6s I beat one stock 02 zo6 by 2 cars and another by 3 but they were prolly just bad drivers and the was from dead stop up to 125ish. I loved the look on their faces as my little LT1 Formula was in front
