my friend just got a LT1 camaro with a 396 stroker... 3.73 gears and a 3800 stall...

and i just rode in it... and that bitch seems fasttt!

just wondering how fast they are? the guy didnt give him dyno #'s and he hasnt been to the track yet..

but its def a badass car

Watched a buddy's 383 lt1 6 speed go 7.1s in the 1/th on motor so yah they can be fast!

haha why high 14's?


im guessin it all depends on how well it was built? if it wasnt done right im sure it wont be fast

It was meant as a joke...
But yes it all depends on how it was built. I've seen 396's in the 10's and I've seen them in the high 13's.

high 14s is probly a better estimate for a beefed up boat anchor.


just kidding. without dyno numbers it's hard. if built right though i can probably guess a 11 somewhere?

Hard to say with out knowing more about the motor, there usually all over the place as said, set up right you could have a solid 10 second car all motor but I have seen some turds out there that run 12s because either its set up wrong or the cars built like junk.

On to the topic, depends on how everything else is built, you left out the rest of the gorey details.

Not as fast as a 408 LSx. The thing is, the aftermarket for those things in the head department is lacking but AFR does make some. I just hate the LTx, itis a pita.

PM NickK, back in the day, his 396 LT1 on a 150 shot was running 10.3's in his c4 vette w/ 6spd tranny!!!

Making almost 500 to the back tires all motor with LT4 Heads and a Nick K special white intake manifold.

I think I read that in every single post you make pertaining to LT1s. If your building a 396 and have the coin, it isnt that hard or really all that expensive to go to just about any 23* Gen I head out there. Lot of people have converted 23* Darts, Pro Action and a host of other Gen I Heads, including 18 Degree and two I know of using SB2.2. Far as it isnt not making as much power a 408 LSX, kinda a broad statement to make, just depends on the combination of parts. To make mid 500s to the back whels, it requires a fairly agressive set up, but saying it doesnt make the same power as a 408 LSx, well thars Kinda like saying all third gens are primered turds

You mean they aren't!?!?

Then why the hell not just use a GEN I block all together if you are going to use the heads? The LTx is in the middle, go GEN I or GEN III. Thats just me.


And all third gens that are turds bitch.
