Funny! You really killed that yellow thing in the right lane!

Yes and don't think so.

Do you have the stock 10 bolt rear end?

Not anymore, but I did use it until I hit low 11's. I had the axle tubes welded to the center section, put in a solid pinion spacer, and a cover with bearing preloads. I believe that helped it survive longer.

I've always wanted to try open headers at the track but driving it there then dropping the cat back and y pipe at the track then putting it back to drive home was not worth it. So, I dropped the cat back at home loaded it on the trailer and hit the track. First run with y-pipe 10.87 DA was only 90 best one I've ever seen. I thought that sucks what a waist of time. So I made another run this time 10.85, still disappointed. Now I took the y-pipe off and ran a 10.84 a new best but still come on. Decided to hit it one more time and boom 10.78 @ 124, DA was 500ish. Now that's better. Since the car's getting faster all day I said one more time, 10.81 @124 DA climbed to 1200ish by this time. Best with full exhaust was 10.85 @123 vs. open headers 10.78 @124.

It would be interesting to get an update on your car. I’ve been building a 94 Formula all winter and my goal is 11’s. This was the most interesting thread I️ could find on getting an LT1 4th Gen in the 11’s. I️ realize you went way beyond that, AND it’s been 6 years since the last post, but an update would be nice!
