I was wondering what all you need to have the FASTEST LS1...i mean i wanna hear everything fastest ls1

mykdiver

427ci or bigger, forged internals, solid roller huge lift cam, shaft mount rockers, LSX or better intake manifold, supercharger, turbo or N20, 9" or 12 bolt rear, torque arm, drive shaft, 105 mm TB, the biggest MAF you can get, spool, lots of gear, big slicks, weight reduction, TH400 with a 5000 stall converter, serious suspension work, saftey equipment, LS1 Edit, or Accel Gen VII DFI system, and alot more..... Plus good driving, and traction!!!!

Strap it to a Jet and fly around at any MACH speed and you have it

The fastest LS1 is a 387 ci motor (4.125 bore, 3.625 stroke, if memory serves) boosted by a F1R we built, assuming the record still stands.

That was Ron Duke's 2001 droptop, and at 3,700 lbs, too.

I do believe he posts here, but don't know his user name.

Yea, and he has spent $200.000 on the car... How about the fastest stock bottom end ls1, no stroker motor good old 346ci...Mike Brown TT Incon buddy of mine ran a 9.85 at 137.85 something very close to that through a th400 9"

I thought the nitrous cars were fastest. Anyways... a set of flowmasters and some stickers should do the trick.

I heard he has new time it's 8.28@??? is that correct?

mykdiver

8.28!!!! Damn, is that true???

Rhysamedrae

I don't know if that's accurate or not, but I wouldn't be surprised. The car has more than 8.5 in it.

He was actually running over 20 psi, IIRC.

Vendetta

Definitely. He's gotta get that weight down a bit.

Kevin 276

...ok, so the original question was fastest LS1...did you mean LS1 motor or car? We know a C5R motor is bad ***, and capable of great things, but definetly not a LS1. Can anyone say close to $30,000 just for the motor. So how about fastest ls1 motor?

all you need is money :shrug:

How do you know the car has more than 8.5?? or secret ! may if he shot a little more than 52 shot !! in my computer i have video for 8.56 it's very awesome..

Damn... 8.52 at almost 2 MPH!!!

Wouldn't it actually get going faster if you dropped it out of the jet?

Unlikely. Terminal velocity of an TA or Z28 even if you managed to maintain nose down orientation in freefall would be far less than mach speeds. Probably in the 150mph range, but not much more than 250mph tops. Get it tumbling around which it most likely will want to do, and you're not going to get much more than about 120mph out of a freefall.

Then again, most MACH capable jets aren't going to fly too well with an F-body strapped to it.

Neglecting drag - if dropped from 30,000 feet - the ultimate speed would be 1389 ft/s or 946 miles per hour. I'm pretty sure you won't even cut 1/2 of that with drag of a car.

Then again - the speed of sound at sea level is 761 mph - so if you lose 25% through drag - you will still be faster on the jet.
I suppose the fastest possibility would be to hook the car up to a jet and launch it towards space - maybe in the space shuttle...

Rhysamedrae

When he made that run, he was using rather small headers, only 21ish psi, running on 28.5 inch slicks, and weighed 2,700 lbs.

Slap some bigger slicks on there, turn up the boost, open up the exhaust, cut down the weight, and what do you get?

As someone mentioned not too long ago, all it takes is money, engineering, and desire. All three have gone into this car...and the run is not done yet.

mykdiver

Ah, so he cut some weight out of it huh? I would love to see some 7 sec LS1s!!!!

Fahad

You're right..
