Man, that must be one badass motor! Is this a street car? Can you post the Dyno sheet and torque results too!! I'd like hear more on the cam specs. and head flow numbers to get that kind of power!!

We havent built any good LT1 cars.
Greg C 1995 Z28 - 383 LT4 with Procharger 700+ RWHP 9.65 @ 145mph
Brett T 1997 Z28 396 LT1 500 RWHP All Motor
Scott S 1995 Impala SS 383 LT4 500 RWHP all motor 700 RWHP on nitrous
Oh and my heavy turd 1996 Impala SS 409 LT4 10.90's @ 129mph.

Something here just does not seem right!!! Not saying it isn't so, but seeing is believing, and it you didn't see it, it probably didn't happen or does not exist. Right?

WTF Mike doesnt dream **** up. If the car makes 700 rwhp its making plenty of power to go deep into the 9s @ a 3300 lb race weight. Belive me if anyone has LT1 experience it is the guys at G-force.[mike still has dreams of the impy running nines]

The LT1 is certainly no LS1 but if the customer is willing to spend the money to buy the good stuff, and listen to a shop with some experience building them, they can make some good power as seen by the stuff Mike from G-Force posted up.

LIKE I SAID BEFORE!! NO TIME SLIP, NO DYNO SHEET, NO PROOF.Why you ask? Because that car has never even been to No Problem
Raceway. That there is the Problem. What we need here is some
good ole fashion realism. The internet allows one to brag and say
anything, but the world is not as big as it appears. 9.65et @ 145
mph you say? I'm hearing more like 11.19et @ 128 mph.

The customer lives in Louisianna and called Mikey up to tell him what it ran, but Mike has the copies of the dyno sheets from when it was dyno'd at the shop.

G-Force is great! They had no problem working on my LT1 when other shops wouldn't. Great bunch of guys too. It is no surprise they built a 9sec LT1, as soon as you walk into their shop you can tell they know what is going on.

No one ever said they weren't. I'm sure they do a good job. All I ever said is don't believe everything someone says if you didn't see it or they cannot back it up. Saying that you have a 9 sec. car or that you ran a 9.65et doesn't make it true. I do believe 11.19 et @ 128 mph is true, because I did see that. I'm sure that your friends at G-Force do build a strong LT1 motor and maybe one that is capable of a 9 sec. et, provided you also have the right suspension, transmission and rearend. Oh, lets not forget driver. Once again, if its true, show us some proof; i.e. time slip where it happened and/or dyno sheet.

I could suggest that we let your wife/ or gf (should you even have one) spend a weekend with me and let her make that determination.But, on second thought I'm gonna pass. With a name like "Blue Goat", she obiviously suffers from lack of self esteem if she is with you. Besides we've all heard about you "farm boys" and their "GOATS". BAH!!!
lol

Where is this thread going????? I thought you wanted a good LT1 shop and you were told a few. No need to beat a dead horse. Im sure Mike will post up timeslips when he gets em. In the meantime get your LT1 some mods!!!

Forums need to be for posting FACTS, not DREAMS. As far as Old Blue Goat is concerned, all I did was defend his malicious attack. Nothing derogatory has been said towards G-Force. I don't have an Lt1, but an LS6. And If I do plan any mods for it, I'll surely consider G-Force. From what I'm reading, they have a reputation for good work and dynotunes.
