****, i remember when the bolt on record was 11.94. Than shon broke it with a 6psd and then i was broken again. Just cant believe how fast your going with a stock motor. Many heads and cam guys are going to be jealous/pissed, etc.
I dont think anyone is going to touch you 11.50 for a while unless you break it. Nice job, thats ******* fast.

I've never faulted anyone for weight removal. Hell, its easier on parts and you can gain some et/mph for free by just putting out an effort and some work. I just know what it takes to get a car to this weight and its alot of work. Big props on that. My car is finally getting the weight down since last scaling it came in at 2850 and that is with a cage and a 9" and I'm hoping to lose 50-60 more by changing to a Burkhart shortened housing and finally doing rear drag brakes. Anyway..good job man. That took alot of effort to get to where you are. Congrats. You will hold the record for a looong time with that setup.
For those wanting "more of a normal car"(whatever) this is the first one in the 11s. It was done in 03.

KCFormula, the car/engine have 88,000 miles.
a_z28_vance, DA on the 1st 11 second pass was -1629 and -1966 on the 2nd 11 sec pass. Thank God I was able to dead hook or that awesome air would have been wasted.
As for weight reduction... nothing out of the ordinary... run skinnies (full time), dropped front sway bar, pulled jack & spare, pulled my 36Lb subwoofer out, and rear seat. Car is equipped with a BMR K-member. The carpet, insulation, front seats, AC, etc are still on and working as are all the other accessories.

Seeing a recipe for the right stuff would be very interresting. Could this be found or made in 1 single post?
I am still a stock motor from throttle body to front of y-pipe, this would be very handy in continuing the great impression my LT1 is making.
AND, Congrats on the #'s John

Thanks for all the congrats everyone, I am in Canada this week for my wife's 30th B-day so my access will be limited, but I will try and get on every once in a while to respond...
Tony, yeah the 2835 was with me in the car and I am ~200 myself...
For those asking about nitrous, I don't have any, the sig images is from the special Nitro Dave was doing for the free giveaways and I have been too busy working on the car to make a new one...
For a full list of mods you can check out the link Shon gave for his while I get mine together, I am sure if I have them posted around here somewhere too. Just off the top of my head I have: high flow home made ram air CAI, home ported stock MAF housing, intake track is straight so no elbow to worry about, TB bypass, 1.6 RR's, PS LT headers, PS ORY, CSR E-water pump, 160* t-stat, mail order tune from PCM for less that I got many years ago and have been tweaking myself at the track, a damn well built 4l60e that has been treating well for many years now, 3.73 gears in a slightly fortified (welded tubes, and a support girdle) stock 10 bolt, and a good deal of weight reduction. I have probably forgoten somethings, but that is the gist of it...
Any other questions, feel free to ask...

OK here is a post I had when I was getting close with things I still had to do and lets see how much of that was done...

Thanks, and that is the plan to try when the weather gets better..
As far as what's left, I still have a lot of things to do to help but no money. The cool thing is I got to where I am on almost no budget, doing things slowly, and cheeply, and that includes things like making my own parts and doing my own tuning...
Parts/power mods still left to do are:
- suspension MOSTLY DONE
- gears MOSTLY DONE, just have 3.73's
- TB
- dynotune
- and probably a few more...
As far as weight goes I still have a few little things I can still remove in the future like:
- door bars DONE
- washer tank/pump DONE
- hood and hatch shocks DONE
- center console DONE
- horns, or at least one of them DONE
- underhood wiring for items no longer in use (the first list) DONE
Plus the things that I need money for:
- front suspension (K-member, A-arms, and etc.) PARTIALY DONE, just lower A-arms
- lightweight brakes, front and rear PARTIALY DONE, just the front
- ABS delete kit DONE
- Fibreglass hood
- manual rack
- manual brakes DONE
- aftermarket coolant overflow DONE
- lightweight seat DONE
After and if I ever get to the point all that above is done, I will start cutting:
- Frame horns
- interior brackets (mounts for rear seats, seatbelts, and etc.)
- subfenders DONE
- and misc, swiss cheesing
I'm sure there are things I have missed but that is most of it...

You never answered me about going to Darlington Dragway this fall/winter to run the cars. Think you might be up for it?

From one "Slow" to another.........Congrats brother! That's insane numbers! And the best part about it is there's still room for you to improve on it. Your sig pic shows you with stock rims on the rear. Is this still the case? A set of Bogart's or lighter wheels would free up even more weight though you've mentioned "budget" several times so I doubt they're in your plans for the future.
What level CPT trans are you running? That's a helluva advertisement for them and Herron Performance...lol. Another thing: correct me if I'm wrong but for the "bolt on record", the heads cannot be ported at all?
Keep doin it man. You're making all of us LT1 boys proud!
