00ls1 01-30-2005, 07:10 PM I have a stock 2000 M6 z28 and a buddy of mine just got a new srt-4 a few weeks ago for mods he has a boost controller, blow off valve, intake, wastegate... from a 30mph roll he only pulled a 1/2 car length up to 100mph and from a stop it was about the same i got him off the line and at about 60mph he started to slowly pull.. im kinda pissed but were good buddies but i gave him props for the fast car.. i guess its time to start moddin :cool:
unvc92camarors 01-30-2005, 07:52 PM heck yea dude, get some boltons on that ride:)
00ls1 01-30-2005, 08:06 PM well im ordering an SLP airlid tommorow along with some pacesetter headers and y-pipe i think is this a good header/y-pipe set up or should i look for something else.. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7950952432&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT i dont wanna spend alot of money because i wanna get as many parts as possible but dont wanna get crap.. whats your guys opinion?
FastZinTennessee 01-30-2005, 08:50 PM You didn't mention anything about a catback, are you wanting to do headers/Y-pipe before exhaust?
If you only lost by half a carlength then a lid, free ram air mod and a catback should get you ahead of him.
linn.35 01-30-2005, 09:04 PM first of all you should have pulled him are you shifting at 6000 rmp i pulled srt-4 that had the stage two kit when i was stock.
get an electronic cutout with your header ory combination and dont get a catback that way you have the best of both worlds loud and quiet. do the freemods they make a differents and get new spark plugs. have they ever been changed on your car, it might be time.
00ls1 01-30-2005, 09:10 PM well the car came with a flowmaster muffler so i thought that might be enough for a few weeks before i can get some new stuff.. the car only has 37k miles on it do you think i need sparkplugs?? and yea i was shifting at about 5900rpms... his car was very quick it pulled about a car lenght on my buddies 98 z28 too... but im kinda new to the whole ls1 thing ive owned lots of 4cyl turbo cars but give me your opinions if you guys say catback first then ill do that.. btw thanks for the help guys
Antz97ZNJ 01-30-2005, 09:21 PM thats one 4 banger that moves w/ mods...I think it was more your driving though then his car being faster

A stock LS1 will not pul a well-driven Stage 2 SRT-4. Sounds like you beat the driver.
Shred 01-30-2005, 10:53 PM Maybe you need to tune your car up?
linn.35 01-31-2005, 12:43 AM i have pulled several srt-4 when my car was stock some with stage 2 and one with a bov, IC piping and a 75 shot. i also pulled an ls1 that made 328rwhp. this is all when my car was stock.
you really should pull every gear when the needle is on the 6000 mark which is right befor the rev limiter at 6200 rmp.

i doubt that you pulled on a srt with those mods.. there extremely under rated similar to the LS1's and especially with a 75shot turbo cars tend to make almost 100hp at the rear wheel with a 75shot so i doubt you stock would take one of those.... ive been readin the srtforums this afternoon and from the posts those guys with boost controller, intake, wastegate, and bov are running consistantly low 13's so my 1/2 car loss hardly seems like driver error... but idk im sure i could have been better but from what i see now, me stock vs. him modded he just has the faster car right now :(
shanebang76 01-31-2005, 10:14 AM Back when I was stock back in July, I beat an SRT with an 8.9@81 and he had a 9.5@ like 78??. Before our track closed in NOV., I saw him run a 9.2. Not too bad at all for a 4 cyl!! There was one kid back in july running like 8.8's...8.7's. Dont know what he had??

John M 01-31-2005, 10:25 AM It appears the difference between "beating an SRT in stock form" and "losing to an SRT in stock form" simply depends on whether you own a "107 mph stock LS1" or a "103 mph stock LS1".
I've seen both, and I've always been confused as to why GM would make cars with a 40-50 hp variance, but anyway...
shanebang76 01-31-2005, 10:42 AM I know this is off subject, but if I was running 81-82mph in the 1/8 stock...and 84-85 mph modded...what mph would that be close to in the 1/4, stock and modded. Got me a 3.73 gear coming real soon, too!!

It's irrelevant because most well-driven Stage 2 cars will trap 104-105, just like most LS1's.
linn.35 01-31-2005, 01:29 PM since some of you are so quick to call bs i though i would put a video of me pulling the 75 shot srt. the video has ****ty editing it was not made by me.
in the last race with the stage 1 and 5.0 i start 1 car behind both and gave them the hit
camera car is a stage 1 srt
there is a 16g gst with front mount and injectors
the yellow srt is the 75 shot
the 5.0 is cammed with stock ported heads stock ported intake manifold 3.73 gears flowmasters and some others
FC rx7 mods unknown
and my z28 stock
and the reason for talking about stock ls1 that trap 107 is because that is what i traped stock

Big Red Jim 01-31-2005, 02:26 PM I'm not calling BS. I'm saying you beat the driver, not the car.
linn.35 01-31-2005, 02:32 PM just curious what does a stage 2 trap
the last stage 2 i raced i had about 2 cars on him by the end of fourth gear
95z28 -quicksilver 01-31-2005, 03:30 PM It depends. I raced a stage 2 and barely beat him back when I was trapping 110. He ran me better because he was a stage 2 with the boost cranked up... So it's all situational. Oh and to the starter of this thread. Get the pacesetters and full exhaust and re-race him.... You will be suprised the difference it makes;)
Chris
85_305 01-31-2005, 10:48 PM Ya, pacesetters are AMAZING headers. Hell.. just get a full catback; imop a GMMP will be kickass on your car.

Whatever. Don't make that statement so all inclusive. Some stock LS1's are trapping 107 mph. That easily has the ability to pull on a stage 2 srt4

And that's if you go with the more expensive Mopar Stage III... Can be pieced together (and more powerful) for less.

A boost control is a good mod for a turbo. Im not sure how much boost the stock turbo;s can handle but you can put down quite a bit of extra power with a turbo controller.

I don't think he called you a name. He said a butt dyno isn't an accurate gauge, which is true. Amazing that the majority of the fastest drag and street cars are running turbos. Those 6 second mustangs are just dyno queens right? lol
Trap speeds tell the story? Maybe some of it, but not all. I've got a friend with a turbo (dyno queen to you) civic. If the numbers don't lie, his 105 trap is far inferior to your all mightly ls1. Go from a roll on the interstate, and he blisteres you by 7, 8, or more cars, considering his car traps 105 on radials, and 118 on slicks. You had a conversation with a Dodge mechanic? I'm amazed. He must know everything, lol. How many teeth did he have, by the way? lol

At first glance I thought you was calling me Jack Asss with more then on S..My fault! oops.
And what I meant to say was running your jibs'
And as far as me saying the LS1 is faster, I stressed that because you said and LS1 wont pull a a stage 2 SRT-4. Wich it willl. Mine would have beat one like a red headed step child.
And dont take things out of context . My speaking with a mechanic had nothing to do with me backing up what I am saying. Im sorry you took it that way.

Brain, are you trying to be a smart ass? When I said numbers dont lie I was thinking that you would use your head assuming the numbers are pulled from decent 60's that are comparable between a SRT-4 and an LS1.Not you friends civic. Did anyone here mention a Civic? Get back on the same page man!
Once again I never said my conversation with the Dodge mechanic was to verify anything. Please re-read it..It pretty much says I had a conversation with a mechanic about it. Dont try and be a smart ass. I dont know what the " LOL" was for..did I miss a punchline?
And dont tell me " dyno queen to you" because you dont know what I think of anything. We are not talking about a civic. We are talking about a stock stage2 SRT4 trapping near a 105. We are comparing numbers between the NEON SRT4.vs LS1..can you understand this? WTF does a 118 MPH civic have to do with anything? Read this..ok?
SRT-4 stage2 vs Stock LS1 trap speeds....
That was the subject.
As far as his comment about the dyno It was misunderstood on my end as I didnt look it over that well. I was reading multiple threads at a tmie as they loaded. That was my fault.
Black96WS6 02-12-2005, 07:01 PM There is no way in hell a Stage 2 SRT-4, given equal drivers, is going to pull on a 6-speed LS1, if it's RUNNING PROPERLY, ESPECIALLY if it's an '01 or '02 LS1.

Exactly! I'm sure my Legacy has a couple more tenths left to shave too - I raced at 80 degrees with 99% humidity.
Still, to say all LS1s trap at 107-108 really confuses lots of LS1 owners who have never trapped near that, manual or auto. There are LS1 C5's that didn't do over 104-105.
Steve Y 02-13-2005, 11:02 AM Some of the '98 LS1 6-speeds only dynoed about 280 rwhp stock in good running order. Some '01s dynoed 321 rwhp. This is part of the reason for the difference in times and trap speeds. Gotta hand it to GM for the great quality control. :rolleyes:

the car has 38k on it im sure its still on its original plugs and fuel filter im sure.. ill replace it soon when id my headers and y-pipe but i think the 1/2 car difference could have been me not power shifting either though.. i had just gotten the car and was takin it kinda easy on it
00ls1 02-13-2005, 03:23 PM i think another contributing factor to that was also it was very cold out.. 20 degrees when we did the runs and the rolls were from about 25 mph and i had traction issues but he didnt ever pull anymore after the got teh jump hence the 1/2 car lenght.. i also had a passanger in my car and he was alone in his...im guessing with some better driving and warmer temps i wont have any more problems with him
yellavette 02-13-2005, 04:03 PM Take it from someone who's had 6 forced induction cars....cold weather is a much bigger advantage for him than it is for you. In 75 degree weather I can run 17-18 lbs of boost (with no detonation) and make about 320 rwhp. When the temp drops down below 40 or so, I have to dial the boost controller back to 15 lbs. to avoid detonation and it still makes about 345 rwhp. On my Supra TT's (which don't have fuel starvation issues like my Z) I've noted as much as a 50 rwhp difference between 90 degrees and 35-40 degrees. He had a big advantage with the weather. Race him when it's 90 and you'll spank him.

JasonThe exact opposite is true with the SRT-4. The computer compensates for weather conditions. An SRT-4 will make damn near the same power in 20 degrees as it will at 80 degrees. In summer I see anywhere from 5-7psi more boost than I do in winter.
robb4964 02-13-2005, 06:24 PM the car has 38k on it im sure its still on its original plugs and fuel filter im sure.. ill replace it soon when id my headers and y-pipe but i think the 1/2 car difference could have been me not power shifting either though.. i had just gotten the car and was takin it kinda easy on it
Show no mercy :death: :death:
00ls1 02-13-2005, 07:24 PM haha well going from a fwd GST eclipse to a RWD z28 is a bit of a shellshock if ya know what i mean... its all different now.. we ran again the other day and from 30mph roll i started pullin had a 1/2 car on him by 50 so im not to sure what happend the first time although i did just replace my airlid with a SLP one and that old paper air filter (looked like the original) so that could have been what was holdin me back too..
yellavette 02-13-2005, 08:14 PM Oh yeah, forgot about that. We've talked about this before. I assume it does that because it can't provide enough fuel in cold weather, right? So when you get larger injectors, then what? Can you bypass that with a piggyback ecu or something? I wouldn't want my computer killing the boost when it's cold if I had enough fuel to cover the extra air.

Bob Cosby 02-13-2005, 08:46 PM There's some really funny stuff in this thread. Please continue, I'm getting a kick out of it.
BTW....unless there is something mechanically wrong with them, all LS1 F-bodies are capable of 105+ mph - though they certainly don't all do it, for a very wide variety of reasons.

Then that means the computer is pulling out lots of horsepower at 20 degrees. Way to go Dodge. :rolleyes:
yellavette 02-13-2005, 11:32 PM That's what I'm saying. Why not have a more competent fuel system and not mess with the ecu. I really look forward to those cold nights when my Z feels like a Supra:)

Big Red Jim 02-13-2005, 11:36 PM I assume it does that because it can't provide enough fuel in cold weather, right? Nah, it can provide plenty. A stock SRT-4 is pig, fat, horrible rich. My tailpipes are coated with carbon within 50 miles of cleaning them. On the dyno I was richer than 10.25:1, because it couldn't read any richer.
falchulk 02-14-2005, 12:33 PM A stock LS1 will not pul a well-driven Stage 2 SRT-4. Sounds like you beat the driver.
Yes it will and I am a huge srt fan.
Steve Y 02-14-2005, 09:41 PM Yes it will and I am a huge srt fan.
Not at 4000' where I race. Turbo cars have a big advantage up here. I saw a stage 2 SRT-4 with DRs only lose by 2-4 cars to a Z06! :eek:
00ls1 02-18-2005, 07:02 PM well today was round 2.. only difference was i have an SLP airlid now and am drivin better... we went from a roll twice from about 30mph and i pulled a car and kept pullin up to about 90 or so mph both times... it was a completely different race.. cant wait till i get more boltons on haha..

:bow: Good work! Way to show him V8 power. A well driven LS1 is a formidable machine.
00ls1 02-19-2005, 01:41 AM i guess in most cases the best mod is becoming a better driver..

Oh yeah!
00ls1 02-22-2005, 05:44 PM hey i got those vids.. anyone wanna host them??
00ls1 03-04-2005, 10:33 AM Well guys i guess in another week or two we will find out what that stage 2 kit is all about my buddy just ordered it yesterday after his losses last week so now im gettin excited.. i also just got my catback on although i still havent recieved my headers and ORY yet but what do you guys think with catback and headers vs. stage 2?? im thinkin hes gonna have alot better chance from a roll but im hopin ill pull on him good off the line (with is fwd traction problems) also the dealership i work for just became a Nitrous Oxides System (NOS) dealer so we can get smokin deals on n2o kits so im thinkin a direct port 150shot.. although my srt4 buddy has no idea ive already ordered it haha
Cahill93Z 03-04-2005, 11:44 AM you shouldn't have a problem
