Me (96) - LT1 M6, True duals, Long tubes

'02 - Auto, SLP cat-back

First race from a dig, got him on the launch pretty good, both spun. Shut it down ~130 I had 2-3 cars on him.

Second race was a 40 roll. I missed 3rd. We shut it down about 130 again and I had 1 1/2 to 2 cars.

One more from a 3rd gear roll. Think it was around 60. Pulled him again a couple cars to ~130 or so.

I figured up in 90+ he might pull me a little but he stayed back

not to be a jerk but is that all the mods you have just headers and you can beat a 02 ws6?

Yeah I'm a bit confused too.... I mean I will certianly say good kill as I totally believe you. I just figured, even auto vs manual, you would need some more mods?

Swift_01_z-28

Gotta agree with you guys on that. I thought that you would probably need more than some lts and some duals. Of course, the driver mod helps as well. Oh well, if you say you did, I will believe you, it's just a hard pill to swallow at the moment.

Yeah I thought it would be a closer race too, but I know how to drive pretty good (except for missing 3rd lol). Guess my car's runnin top.

PowershifterNC

speaking of missing 3rd...how did you still pull him on that run...something is kinda fishy here

Well if you look I didn't pull him by as much. I was farther ahead and he gained a little when I missed, but I got it back in gear and pulled slightly. Ya'll believe what you want, no stories here don't get your panties in a bunch.

Teh LS1 can nevar loose. It's the streets, but I don't find it unbelievable.

Not really. That race started at 40 mph. Major dead spot for a 3.23 geared auto. My car was a major SLUG from a 31-50 MPH roll. 20-30 and 55-65 are the sweet spots.

Plus autos have that hesitation before the transmission completes the downshift. Rolling races with an auto tend to give the hit to the other guy. Some try to time it by going on 2.5 honks or whatever but often we are trying to play catch up. This one of the reasons I like the track. I take the M6 advantage away from them and give it to myself

Good kill Spiers. Sounds like you got a strong running LT1 there.

I think it's completely plausible. Some LT1s dyno pretty damn good stock, not to mention with a full exhaust. That 6-speed really comes in handy too. I've lost to sticks from a roll, then ate 'em up from the dig. If I roll anywhere between 40-50, I'm playing catch up to imports and 4.6 GTs. A 35 roll breaks them loose, and 50mph + is decent.


Awesome to see a clean elky keeping the big bad LS1 at bay. Any track times or numbers, Spiers?

IMgettingLS1

good kill. raced my friends ls1 the other day but he had more bolt ons. he took me by little more than a car to 90

I used to do it all the time. Not a surprise on a mostly stock auto LS1

Thanks. My best time is 8.84 @ 82 mph with a 2.24 60ft My local track is pathetic. Hopefully by this spring I will have H/C and maybe a little spray, and take it to KCIR with some stickies.

I've always thought you had one of the cleanest LTx cars I've ever seen. Nice run.

PowershifterNC

no panies in a wad here...just saying it takes a while to get the m6 back in gear after you miss..if you do it right. If you did beat him that run he must have full weight and then some

nice kill but its kinda hard for me too believe it also...I kill bolt on LT1's all the time... you are running what I run in the 1/8 so congrats on that also... I need to work on hooking my car better and not spin so much to get a real decent time
