Next time at the track I plan to take both sets of springs with me and change them out to see which ones get better 60'.

we should both create accounts over there and get random people banned for being me.

 

You are being a bit to critical man...He is trapping 113mph...that is a very respectable time. With a DR and a little suspension, his car would ET very well..mix that in with his trap speed and his had got a quick-*** car. Just do not see what many are criticizing here ????

 

Per Hiho a cammed LS1 should run low 11's @ 125-130mph. Anything less is pathetic

 

113 is low for that rwhp.

Like stated some of that is hiding in his launch and shifting, plus we don't know what RPM he is shifting at which can be hurting his trap as well.

 

If he hooks up his MPH should go up a decent bit. Spinning doesn't = more mph like alot think

 

+1. I've seen it both ways depending on the launch.

 

Yea we have a local LS1 EPS baby cammed T/A that hasn't ran the numbers you'd think it could. I hope my cat isn't like that too lol

 

Obviously a 300lb driver and or a full optioned T/A isn't the norm and a case within itself. Thats almost 4k lbs with less than 400rwhp, not much you can do with that.

Look what notch did with 340rwhp. His car with 4xxwhp would easily go 120s. But its cause he took the time to take weight were it mattered. Honestly his car is more replacing parts with **** then cutting **** up. I think the only thing cut up on his car are the supports and that yielded 20lbs (10lbs each) at best.

Your cam isn't small though! at the right race weight and gearing and supporting mods it should easily go low 120s or high tens full weight. Attention to detail is key though. Before a cam goes into my car it will have every single bolt on possible and it would run respectably with bolt ons alone before i just throw a cam in. Id match a cam with heads anyways instead of going cam only though.

 

While I think it's childish to search for a picture of a guy and bash him for no reason (to me arguing about cars isn't a reason to take it personally). He doesn't look like 300lbs and I think it has nothing to do with how his car runs. Nor is full options. What is your idea...a Formula with roll up windows and a 95lb girl man driving?

I wouldn't say his car is performing to it's full potential but I also don't think taking a hole saw to the bumper supports or hollowing out your shift **** will help either.

With that said I honestly don't take Hiho or Notche's cars to base what other Fbodies will run mod for mod. You can take that however you want...I'm not starting a war here.

 

Holy **** i could've sworn he said he weighed 275 or something in the picture. Sorry about that, guitar. By no means was i trying to make a cheeky comment towards you.

Roll up windows weigh more and plus i weigh 225 atm. Don't like leather interior, especially in old cars, wish i had a hardtop cause i dont use my T-tops etc... i could careless for options like this. Aslong as it has P/S, A/C and power windows im good.

To many variables we have lowly optioned hardtop cars that weight like 3380 and full optioned cars that weigh like 3600ish without driver. But for his power and his weight which im sure is around atleast the 3800-3900 raceweight given that hes in the 2xxlbs in weight and those huge rims and with only making 380ish with a 60 foot of **** i can see it happening.

But my buddy also went 111 with a fully optioned SS and the guy weighs 280-300lbs at the time. This is with a lid, ported TB, and chopped off muffler. So it is what it is, but i agree with hio though, ive seen full weight cars minus jack ans spare go 121 mph cam only.

 

Uhh, it's not the way he looks, it's what he actually weighs.

And hey, it's a major contributing factor. If you weigh 100 lbs more than the average driver, it's going to show at the track.

 

And Guitar isn't a troll? Look at his avatar. He's proudly showcasing what a troll he is on this forum. Rarely if ever does he contribute worthwhile information to the site, it's a bunch of loose talk and...(drum roll) trolling. Now that (yes I'll admit it) I'm trolling him, he gets all quiet. Guess the pillsbury dough boy has a soft spot with his weight, and apparently his horrible driving skills.

I don't know all the factors involved in that run, but when my auto Z was stock, I ran a 13.4, same time as he did. An auto LS1 is probably putting down 290WHP, I never had mine dyno'd, so I'm not positive. That's 100WHP LESS and I'm still cutting the same times. Just embarrassing.

 

Yea I can too. I'm a bigger guy or fat whichever you prefer so I took weight out of my already light A4 Hardtop Z that weighed 3440 stock.

A full weight T/A with a smaller cam and a larger driver definitely has odds going against them to run well.

That's why I took weigh out of my car so I can be closer to average weight cars. Currently working on the driver weight mod but that is slow progress lol

I would love to trap near 120s being cam only. One can dream

 

Read. I'm ~350 on a normal day.

6800 shifting, 3rd gear through the end.

If I was such a troll and contributed nothing...why am I still here? And again, who are you? You come out of nowhere and start attacking me because it makes you feel good about yourself or something? Lol. You're not trolling anyone - if what you are posting is considering trolling by your standards, you need a little bit of schooling on the definition. And didn't we go over this before? I posted that picture on THIS forum, by my own will - you went through my posts and thought you were a master detective when you found it - LOL, apparently you need the definition of that as well.

I can't convey the amount of ***** I don't give about what people on the internet say about me, especially some noob on a forum who is just trying to make a name for himself calling out someone established. All I see from you is . Some people have jobs, class, and lives to go to, and can't post on a forum 24/7.

 

Lawlz...

 

I can duplicate these results over and over.....not even a issue. There is still alot left on the table for both cars.

 

LMFAO!! I ran basically the same time with 11 less mph. FAIL!!

Right lane


Yeah! Because you can't run from a dig on the street. That isn't allowed.

This^^

Maybe I need to add cam TA's to my sig for cars that can only roll race huh?

 

What you talking about?

 

I was talking about the 2nd part of your statement. Nice numbers...
