well, i have another motor all set. cleaned up and stock as a rock ls1. i put my head studs in and cleaned the tops of the pistions, put my cam in it and will be droping heads off tonight to get a valve job.
i was going to put new valve springs in and replace my 4 year old free ones, but they where like $300 bucks. not gonna waist $300 on a free motor. lol so if i have a week one, we'll shim it a bit. lol
see how she goes this season. i am going to spring for new tires. the tires i ran last year where like 4 or 5 years old and pretty worn, after all last seasons racing and street driving, they are junk now.

pretty excited. not going to hit it hard out of the gate. prob tune it in with 100 shot to run 9.50 class then end of the season if she is in one piece bump it up and see what she will do.

cant wait. hoping i pass tech, local track went from ihra to nhra this season, so hope i pass. lol

 

So we gonna see some 9.20's this time or maybe a 9.0 pass?

 

yup from us.

Sounds good man! Cant wait to see you get some track numbers out of it. Im trying to get out next weekend as well.

 

ya the nhra switch is pretty tough on cars in your range..im wondering the same about passing tech. id like to see youre car run shud be fun.

And by the way i work with a kid named chris varney who is friends with jon mario. i guess you guys kno eachother?

 

Glad you are going drag racing Brad,I did take your advice on the t-top delete mod.Damn impressive what you did last yr keep at it im sure you will break some records.

 

Haha. In a weird way I was def looking forward to what you were going come up with this year. Def shows the potential of the ls1

 

thoes valve springs are perfect, the previous owner babied them

 

lol @ 860. the springs on junk yard dawg where off his car. he gifted them to me and they are working. lol


i know mario very well, old friends from the 90's, great guy.

not sure what she will run, but im sure it will be interesting. lol

 

Ya hes def a real nice guy. small world i guess. Looking foward to seeing youre car run tho..pretty amazing.

 

Damn, and here i am trying to get my 6.0 LQ4 into the 10s all motor, LOL.

 

this motor would run mid 10's easy in my car on motor with a converter swap. im still running my converter from my big motor. lol its so tight its not even funny with this little motor. i need to loosen it up about 1000 rpm or more. lol but to cheap to do it right now, she runs ok.

 

Im runnin a 6 speed and 3450 race weight, so that is where i stand, i installed a Super Victor tonight, i will see on the 1st if ti picks up any before the head swap, still rocking stock .030 milled 317s.

 

Noyzee, what kinda race weight are you at if you don't mind me asking?

 

In for race weight and pics!!!! Good luck with this one!

 

race weight was a touch over 3300 pounds so that puts the car about 3100 pound because im 185-190 plus gear

 

going to take 25-30 pounds out and put my buddy in the car (if he has the *****) and see what he can do. he is 140 plus gear

 

going out this weekend?

 

I would have expected it to be much lighter. My car is 2975 without me, and I still have a TON of stock heavy parts.

 

no, motor isnt even in the car yet. i have a final race on the sleds saturday. theres still snow on my local track. lol it will be 2-4 weeks before im out

 

My third gen is 3150 with no driver and it is bare bones, no AC, PS, front/rear and side impact bars removed, glass hood, race buckets, not carpet, just light weight material on the floor boards ect.

Then 3450 with me in it and i am running 7.1 in the 1/8th, i am scared to let anyone else drive the car since no one is used to manual steering box and operate a 6 speed at it maximum potential, so with a 150 pound driver, i really wonder if the car would go 6.9, LOL.

When is the junk yard LS1 going in? Still using stock heads as well?
