Bolt-On LT1 guys... who's shooting for the record???
Ok, I've been talking with quite a few Bolt-On LT1 folks here shooting for the 11's for quite some time now... Tekprodave and a few others who are busting their a$$es to get the #'s. Hats off to these folks!!! Hitting the LOW 12's & HIGH 11's with a bolt-on LT1 is no easy task by any means. You will not luck into those times. It's all about time & patience... BIG TIME! Those of you going for it PLEASE don't give up!!! I'm telling you a high 11.7 with a Bolt-On LT1 IS possible!!! I know what I ran inside & out and know what the car had left in it before I got kicked out for no cage... 11.7 CAN be done by a Bolt-On LT1 DONE RIGHT!!! Keep going after it folks!!!
For those who say it can't be done... whatever... sucks to be you.
to the Bolt-On LT1 people!!!

who has the fastest stock bottomend lt1 with ported stock heads, and cam. and of course boltons. the reason i ask is that joe overton is designing my cam this week, and he has a lt1 full weight TA ported stock heads and his cam. and it hit 11.05 stock bottomend
sark the 11.26 you ran is with cam and ported heads right.

Re: Bolt-On LT1 guys... who's shooting for the record???
I'm going for the bolt-on record 
I put down 327rwhp and 349rwtq yesterday at Texas Speed
Last time at the track i went 12.9 @ 107mph 1.86 60ft
(In Amarillo Tx, DA 4200ft, ALT 3600ft)
I will be adding BMR sys parts soon, with that and some pro stars i should make a good run at the 12.34 M6 Bolt-on Record(at a better track , Dallas)
My camaro weighs 3400lb (with drive) What are you weighing in at???
Good luck with the quest
Who put down the 11.7 out of a LT1???

As soon as I can aquire another DD that will haul the 2 kids and wife I will pullling the stock 97 in and going all out for the Bolt on LT1 record. It is going to be a long trip but it can happen. In all honesty I dont see it happening with Herron Performance in 2005. But I am getting parts stored up just waiting on the day I can pull it in and put it on stands!

I'm pretty sure that SAR2K put the 11.7 down.

And I know I heard about a 11.9 BO LT1 set up but did not know it was 11.7...I am going to try...all else fails (ie the motor blows up) I will replace it with a God touched LSx motor and pick up a second.....

Really though, not sure what the future holds, i may carry on the LTx banner instead of swapping but you never know....

If I am not mistaken, LS1's weight 100lb HEAVER, not lighter
Plus there is a faster LS1 bolt-on record than the LT1 11.9

Not that easy, SAR2K has held the record for 2yrs
Let me find an auto , otherwise it will just be the
M6 record of 12.34, Im not sure if i can touch that 11.9
