Rockafella 12-21-2002, 01:29 AM The car's a 96 Z with 3.73's, 2800 stall, Long Tubes and Custom Exhaust, Homemade CAI, 1.6 RR's and it now sports a nice 100 shot. Everything else is stock, heads, cam, intake, bottom end, ignition, waterpump, suspension and all!!
Well my previous times are in the sig, and that was on a set of 10.5 inch ET streets. I added a set of skinnies to the combo and with low bottle pressure (heater just came in today) I made one pass at Brewer's which netted a surprising
1.572 60'
7.12@95.1
Not bad for a car that has so many things to do to prepare itself for faster time slips. I'm thinking ignition, electric waterpump, and the addition of a 150 shot and this bolt-on car is going 10's!! Wish me luck and I'll keep ya updated!! ;)
willy 12-21-2002, 10:45 AM Nice time BJ, looks like your going to make 10's before I can. Not that I was trying to beat you.
Did you decide against the rear end cover? I've still got it if you want it.
97 HMS SS 12-21-2002, 08:42 PM Congrats dude. That stock internal LT1 is MOVING! :bow:
Z97LT1 12-22-2002, 09:43 PM Runnin purty good man...:) put the 150 jets in already!
D.
Rockafella 12-23-2002, 06:17 AM Thx for the kind words fellas;
Willy, Let me know up here the next time you plan on heading to the track. If I have any money on me at the time, I'll meet you there to buy that rear-end cover. I need to change my fluids back there anyways, and that would be a perfect reason to...
Drake and others, when the 150 jets go in and I'm ready to blow this sumbitch, I'll let ya know.... 10's somehow are gonna come, stock engine, go or blow!!
chodieeas 12-24-2002, 09:12 AM Simply awesome dude!
Chris
willy 12-24-2002, 10:09 PM BJ I may go to Kinston in a couple of weeks. I'll let you know.
And Congrats again.
Sweet BJ sweet!!! Your car makes mine look sad compared to the amount of mods you have. Once I get mine back together, hopefully with less weight, I hope to run high 7.3's to low 7.4's raw in good air and soild 7.5's in the heat. That will put me around 11.7's in the 1/4 in good air. BTW, you don't know anyone who wants to buy my nitrousworks kit do ya. It and a purge and a bottle heater and I'm only asking four bills. Have a Merry Chrismas and god bless.

FRTRUNNR 12-29-2002, 03:40 PM :confused: You have one awesome car. I have friends that have any where from 355-396ci LT-1's and weight from 3500-3800lbs,and are just running 6.80's w/gas.I know the HP and 60ft times,which rang from 480-540hp at the tires and short times around 1.60-1.39,no trick stuff.I guess if your car was a 396 you'd run 6.0's-5.5's in a 8th? I wonder what kind Hp numbers your car makes?
LT1ponykilla 12-31-2002, 08:42 PM Im sorry but those times are not believed here. With a stock rearend and pulling 1.5 60fts with ET Streets, you would break the crap of that rearend. Without head work or a large cam, you will never run 7.1's @ 95 mph. NOT POSSIBLE. I dont care how much nitrous you are spraying. If all you have is a CAI, 1.6rr's, exhaust, and LT's, 7.1's are just a dream for you. Sorry to sound like a jerk but those times are exagerated.
willy 01-01-2003, 10:33 PM I dont know about his internal mods, but I've seen the car run and its runs darn good. And as for the stock rearend I beleave it. I have some 1.60 (haven't updated sig lately) and mine is stock other than the 3.73's and Mac cover. It my break next time out, but so far its holding up good. I think maybe his converter is helping him a lot.

Might want to freshen up on what you know about the 10bolts in these cars...got some stock 10bolts in the 1.3s still alive. It can be done.
When you coming down to Greer Dragway, we can run them!
Rockafella 01-05-2003, 08:42 AM FRTRUNNR - I have no idea how much power my car makes but I'm guessing it's a little more than your average bolt-on LT1. I trap around 108-109 in the 1/4 in good air and that's with the usual 1.7 60'... On the 100shot my car also picks up pretty good by gaining at least a 10 in the 60' and then 10 mph in the 1/4. I'm really anxious to try out the 150 where I've seen people gain 10mph in the 1/8!!! If I had a 396 with a nasty cam and some gas and didn't run better than 6.50's I'd be pissed!!! We've been introduced before at Darlington (opening day last year) I believe by Mikie. Your car's sweet..
Shon, Not sure were Greer is but if I ever make it down that far, I'll be sure to let you know. I'm guessing you run were Russ runs as well right. I'd love to see his car run again as well. By the way, what's he doing to that thing now.
LT1PonyKilla, I don't know where you're located but if you are your buddy wants to come down and try out a Bolt-On LT1, I'll be sure to put up a good race and by the way, if all they run is a 7 anything in the 1/8; They'll lose:eek:
Mikie 01-05-2003, 10:11 AM Hey BJ,
Yeah thats Thomas that replied to ya.
He does not have access to a computer here in town , but on holidays he visits the inlaws in Tennessee and swipes thier computer to jump on here.So I know for a fact he will have to come over to my house to see your reply.
Thomas' does not doubt you , but he just has never seen a car such as your that does what it does.I mean hell he has a properly tuned 383 with some unmentionable secret mods...hmmm hmmm (cant tell all of them) :)
and the best he has run on full slicks and skinnies is 6.80s
Thomas and Mike Oshae along with Paul (guy with the Pewter TA 00 model that runs 10s) say that if your car is what you say it is then it is a freak and Mike (Owner of more Performance) said he has never seen anything like it.He even said that with your mods...(without gas) the car should be running mid 8s and on gas (100 shot) high 7s.
Remember me talking about my 97 TA ram air?
I had your exact same mods right down to the roller rockers and on 125 shot the best I ever achieved was 7.73 @ 90 mph.
Man why cant I ever find a car like that
:D
Later
Mike

I will buy the Nitrous Works setup, and come up to pick it up...let me know....
Rockafella, Not calling :bs: on you, but I have a friend who has a stock internal LT1 with blower (10 or 12 PSI if I'm not mistaken), FMU, Nitrous with bottle warmer and HUGE shot (if I remember correctly, he's shooting 175 jets), electric water pump, long tube headers, no cat on the exhaust, ram air, and using skinnies, and he's only running 11.4 in the 1/4 on the bottle....his car was rated at 475 RWHP last time on the dyno, so I believe the stock rear end can hold up
G22Lvr 01-05-2003, 11:18 AM You can see pics of the car in his sig here......http://www.cofba.com/ (COFBA site) ....
just look for "COFBA-Pres"......
redbird ls1 01-05-2003, 04:19 PM I also run 7.30's in the 1/8 and 1140's in the 1/4 and thats on the stock rear also but my 7.37 is also only 94mph.And thats with a 1.60 60' So yes it very possible!!
G22Lvr, if you want to NOS kit shoot me an e-mail and we'll make arrangements.
Randy
G22Lvr 01-05-2003, 11:40 PM I'm all over the Nitrous....where is Engelhard? How far are you from Charlotte?
Engelhard is in eastern NC, about 6 hrs from Charlotte. We can work something out, either I ship it to you or we could meet somewhere, let me know.

Guys, I have to add and not picking on the person I used the quote of but it is not the peak numbers, actually it has very little to do with the actual numbers, it is how you use those numbers.
The big RWHP numbers are only good for Dyno sessions, but being able to put the 300RWHP to the ground properly is what makes ET. BJ's car is probably lighter than most which helps out ALOT. And 'tuning' the car to what it is helps alot too. IT does not take some wild combo to go quick/fast, it takes a thought out approach.
Example, my LT4 set up and Russ's Bolt On car, we run the same ET/MPH why? He is a tad bit lighter than I am and he knows how to make his car go. And he is several RWHP less than mine but he can run door to door with me. OR HE USED TO......
Speaking of Russ, I will fwd him this thread and let him comment on what he is up to.........
And surely MORE Performance and other shops know what these cars (LT1s) and the LS1s can do just in bolt on form with the right bolt ons.....sure wish I knew what I know now...the BO game would be alot of fun.
GreenbeanZ28 01-06-2003, 07:38 PM I believe you every bit of the way, BJ. My car went 7.14 at 98.8 mph on a 1.56 60 ft. THIS IS ALSO BOLT ONS WITH NITROUS. I went 11.27 at 119 at Commerce...hitting the rev limiter in 4th gear for 200 feet. Coulda, woulda, shoulda been 10's with a3.73 or a 28 in tall tire. Put in the 150 shot and yank some weight out, and that sumbitch will be in the 10s.
BJ, my car is currently apart still. Phil at Advanced Induction has my heads, gonna put them on a 355 and spray the piss outta it and see what kind of numbers i can put up!

I am calling bs on your friend. Somebody is lying to you. You said he ran an 11.4 on the bottle right? That is with the blower too? I have an ATI waiting to be installed on my LT1 and if it doesn't make at least 420 hp on an 8lb pulley, I will be dissappointed and surprised. A simple 75 shot would obliterate 475hp and might bust 500hp with the way these n2o kits work. So basically if he has 10lbs of boost+175 shot he would have close to 550 if not more. Oh yeah, and a blowed up motor;)
Rockafella, you said this: "I have no idea how much power my car makes but I'm guessing it's a little more than your average bolt-on LT1. I trap around 108-109 in the 1/4 in good air and that's with the usual 1.7 60'... On the 100shot my car also picks up pretty good by gaining at least a 10 in the 60' and then 10 mph in the 1/4. I'm really anxious to try out the 150 where I've seen people gain 10mph in the 1/8!!!"
Your car already picks up 10 mph in the 1/8 on the 100 shot right? What did you mean?
I think it is possible to do what you have done so I will not call bs. Using my car(LT1) as a reference it has headers and exhaust, a Moroso CAI, CSI pump and a 160 thermo. Whoopty doo. It runs the times in my sig. It runs 90mph and 115mph in the 1/8 and 1/4 respectively. I would suspect my mph would increase in the 1/8 if I could hook it off the line but I run street tires so I have to wait until I am at the end of first. If I add some roller rockers, moved the n2o closer to the intake, did some tuning and put slicks on, I bet my mph would be the same. I don't have the gears to launch like you do though so my et would be too high. So I can believe your claim.
Anyway, nice car man. Keep up the speed.
willy 01-07-2003, 04:43 PM BJ heard the motor bit the dust. Hate to hear it, but now you can prepair it for some serious power.

Sorry, man, but the proof is in the timeslips and dyno sheets....the car is laying down somewhere in the 475 RWHP range sprayed, and DOES turn 11.4...like I said, the proof is in the timeslip and the dyno sheet. IF you don't believe me, he is the president of COFBA, and he'll gladly show you the proof in the pudding. I know everyone thinks the East COast is the HP mecca and all, but there are some SERIOUS HP monsters in Texas and Oklahoma. I can count on one hand how many HONEST 450+ HP cars I've seen in the Charlotte area in the last year. In the last 6 months before I left Oklahoma, when I really started to get into the street racing and modding, there were more than a dozen in COFBA alone. Everyone thinks More Performance is the shiznit around here, and for the area, it is satisfactory, but not anywhere the same quality or progressiveness as a number of the Midwest shops.
I'm not trying to start a flame war, just stating what I have observed in my year and some change in NC.:bow:
redbird ls1 01-07-2003, 08:27 PM Well, I did think those times were good I mean 11.4 but now that I see what the dyno #'s are you have room for improvement somewhere mine only dynoed a shade over 400rwhp and I ran 11.4's and that is a full body T/A with everything on it including the spare tire and jack. Now im not saying you didn't run those times but if you have 475rwhp I would expect faster times wouldn't you?
G22Lvr 01-07-2003, 10:42 PM Originally posted by redbird ls1

Like my earlier post stated, it isn't my car, but the president of my old club's car. His name is Todd D'Amico. There were some fuel management issues he was working with when I was still there. I would agree that there is probably still room for improvement. I'm not sure what he has planned, but his car is full-bodied and has all the accessories, also, so slimming down on the weight would probably help considerably. But, like I said, it isn't my car. It IS the car I am modeling mine after, that's all. Mine will be lightened everywhere possible, though, because I don't need all the extra junk. Good luck with yours.

IF you don't believe me, he is the president of COFBA, and he'll gladly show you the proof in the pudding. I didn't say the hp numbers were wrong, I just believe the shot of gas and boost ratings have got to be off. Most cars I know of will put down at the wheels what size jets they have in. For example, 300 rwhp + 100 shot of gas =400rwhp. I am just going to say that the kit only gives it 150hp. That means that the motor on boost alone is only making 325hp. That is just sad for 10lbs of boost. Whatever though, it isn't my car.
Well take it easy. I'm out.
redbird ls1 01-08-2003, 05:55 AM yes, I see well the weight is a big issue for sure I would also like too lose some weight on mine also.But im not going to strip my car down,but at the same time our a-4's seem to be weak when you get in the 400rwhp range so losing some weight would sure help in that area.
93 Indy 01-08-2003, 12:38 PM Congrats BJ, that is just plain awesome. :D For the naysayers, I didn't see the run, but if BJ says that's what he ran, then that's what he ran. BJ doesn't lie about his car. You can check this board and find that BJ shares his gains and losses when he mods his car. He doesn't pull the secretive **** that alot of people like to and claim more from their car while lying about their mods. As for the rearend giving out with 1.5 60's, you have to remember that an auto is more forgiving than a 6 speed. Low 1.6s are what I got all day long when I was just boltons and gas.

No, not everyone. I've never dealt directly with Moore, so I don't have any first-hand experience with their work. But I know the guy who owns it, which is why I WON'T deal with them.
Concerning your comment, "for the area", that could easily be construed as a derogatory comment. Careful!
No flame here either. I'm not originally from the South myself. But you have seemed to forgot that the Carolina's are the NASCAR capital of the world. There are some excellent performance shops around the Charlotte area. But most of them choose not to deal with the street racer crowd (for many obvious reasons), rather the hard-core racer.
There are good shops scattered all over the country who can make serious horsepower. I think it would be a mistake to down-play the Charlotte area as not being one of them. But that's just my opinion.
Like I said, there are/were no flames intended. They are just my observations/opinions, and should be taken as just that. If you take them as flames, after I clearly stated they weren't intended as such, oh well. I know Mike, too, and that is the reason I don't do business there. I am fully aware that the Carolinas are the NASCAR capital. That doesn't mean the shops here are any better for our cars than any others anywhere else. THAT'S just MY opinion.

The last time I saw his car, almost 2 years ago, I could have sworn it had a blower on it, also. But, like I said, that was almost 2 years ago, so I may be mistaken.
DansTransAM 01-08-2003, 05:57 PM well I did see his run. It was a 7.1@95 mph. BUT the thing is Brewers is a notorious "Down Hill" track is what some say. I go to kinston and run 9.2's in the 1/8th, then the week before i was pulling 8.8's at brewers in the 1/8th. It could be my driving but I don't know. About the only thing that was accurate at both tracks was my 60ft, which was a 2.0 . KDS was hard to hook up on that day and brewers usually hooks up pretty good.

G22Lvr 01-08-2003, 08:07 PM It must have gotten lost in the interpretation, but I was not by any stretch calling BS on the times that Rockafella posted. I called BS on the statement about the stock-internalled LT1 and/or the stock 10-bolt not holding up to his ponies. :cool:
jkbadz28 01-09-2003, 12:16 AM Ok for all those that don't believe BJ I have it on video. I have helped work on the car and the mods that he list are correct nothing more nothing less. And the jets are for a 100 shot. This car runs consitant 7.9's on motor and low 7's on gas I have seen it done 20 times over the last 5 months. Yall can keep rasing the flag but if you think it ain't true then come get some of the beast. And as far as a stock rear not holding ol BJ was holding the camera when my car pulled the front wheels on a gas out the hole pass(1.61'). And the part about the down hill track it has been 7.2's at nam in the 1/8 without the skinny's up front and 7.3's on nitto drags.

Which is what?? I believe the stock rear end can handle 500HP. That's why the above quote says BS about it NOT holding the HP....can I make it any clearer?

Rockafella 01-09-2003, 07:47 PM Chris, Jason, Dan, Mikie, Russ and others; Thanks for the kind words.
I'm not going to take the time to reply to every single post but I will say these few things. Thanks again Chris and you are the man; Hope that beast can make it to the Rock or something sometime this year and You best come up here and let us know when you're going. Oh yeah, keep us updated on when we can see the LT1 vette again, the blue one that is; That's one of my favorite street cars period!!
Dan, you're right, Brewer's has been known to produce quick times but as Jason said; The car's been almost as fast at Nam without the skinnies so the times with the addition of the skinnies are very believable. Also as Jason said, the car has made numerous passes in the 7's on motor and I have listed all of my mods many times.
With back seats and all my car weighed 3550 with me in it when we did the GMHTP shootout this past summer. Take off the chrome wheels and add skinnies and et streets as well as remove the back seats, etc; and you can see that my car weighs less than 3500 lbs with me in it so that may have a little to do with it.
Willy, as for the engine being blown; I don't believe that's it. But I will finally be able to say that my intake and heads are coming off the engine for the first time. I doubt that I'll port or polish the heads, but a valve job will be needed I believe.
Anyways, I guess I'll keep everyone updated. Sad that people that work at MORE Performance don't know what these cars will do. That's gotten me a little worried...:eek:
willy 01-09-2003, 09:48 PM BJ just call AFR and get the new Lt1 heads they just came out with. I would love to see that.
O Yea I got your back with the stock rear thing. Mines still stock too.

It must have gotten lost in the interpretation, but I was not by any stretch calling BS on the times that Rockafella posted. I called BS on the statement about the stock-internalled LT1 and/or the stock 10-bolt not holding up to his ponies. :cool:
My fault sorry, most guys around here in OKC call BS on times.
I haven't seen any problems with the stock rear end as long as you are an AUTO. I have seen three 10 bolts, no make that four bite it at the track this past year but they were ALL 6 Speed cars.
Sidenote. 2-3 clutches need replaced in the Hughes/Spiller Tranny must be the RWTQ :D, and spraying through the shifts, oops...
O ya, and the fan club - RMAO :bow: Love ya "J"
DansTransAM 01-09-2003, 11:43 PM Well Brewers won't be back open for awhile, but i did find out that Kinston is open on 18th (next saturday) from 1 to 5 PM (test n' tune). BJ Get that engine "work" done and see if you can't get out there and brake 10's on your first run. I might try and see if I can't get Mr. Gant to bring out his 5.8L out and ya'll battle it out, would be a good race if you get that engine setup correct.
jkbadz28 01-10-2003, 12:20 AM Man Nathan Gant and his slow Charles Perry built mustang don't want none of the ghost or my car. He needs to bring it on weather the street or the strip. I have not seen him at Brewer's the last 2 times we went. Hell I am just setting here kicking back a few getting lippy so yall take it easy.
Jason :D
Rockafella 01-10-2003, 03:28 AM Dan, It's not really an engine set-up. I'm not building a beast or anything like that, it'll actually be stock most likely except for maybe a valve job on the heads and a cam in the near future...
Just don't won't/need all of wide-a-wake running around saying a got a built engine or a stroker or anything; cuz if that was the case. I wouldn't be worried about to many street cars running around the 252!!!
On a side note, Jason's an idiot;) I just saw that you called man; My bad, I'll holla atchya later. And as for Nate, We'll race in due time. I just want him to know that I'm not ducking him and I don't believe he's ducking me. We just have to meet up at the same place at the same time with both of our cars and it'll happen (the same way that Charles' and I race happened) and will happen again...
DansTransAM 01-10-2003, 07:41 AM yeah i could see where to much engine work would put down your gas mileage ALOT (and possibly the take the "daily" part out of your daily driver). But anything that can run 7.1's and a possible high 10, that you drive every day, is pretty good.
I know for a fact that Nate was bringing his stuff to Brewers on Merc day (Jan 1st) but it got rained out. I think the time will come eventually and it will be a good race. :D
ya'll take it easy. Lata

You interpreted everything fine, Todd....I was just using your car as an example that the stock rear CAN hold 400+ HP.....(mental note: do not spray between shifts....I'm seeing a pill setup in my future....) :D
SAR2K 01-19-2003, 09:03 AM BJ, awesome N2O run!!! As you can imagine I have absolutely no problem believing your times. I guess if I ever slapped a bottle on my car & posted the times the BS flags would be flying left and right, LOL. Keep it up man. :cool:
Steve...
