I expected bolt-on Lt1 F-bodies to be more than just 6 tenths quicker thant he bolt-on B-bodies Especially since you guys start off with so much less weight and a bigger cam.

What kind of 60ft times are the quickest bolt-on LT1 F-body getting? We are deep in the 1.6s.

Not bad for a 4000lb auto.

All bolt-ons??

It's all in the suspension setup. We (Impala SS's) weighing in at over 4000 pounds are running in the low 12's due to dialing in the suspension. I just ran a best of 12.77@104.5 at 4125 pound last Saturday. My buddy ran a new bolt on Impala record of a 12.36@107.
It's not how much HP you have but putting it to the pavement is what counts.

Hell. We aren't putting out 300RWHP either. Do your homework on the suspension and weight transfer. Keep up the hard work.

How true is this? Suspension is one of the last things most people work on and that is where it counts.I am spending more time on the suspension this time around instead of power.
That is amazing that the bolt on record is low 12s in that boat, heck, there are alot of H/C cars (F-bods at that) not hitting low 12s; CONGRATS!!

I see it all the time at the strip. F bodies running low 13's and high 12's with above 2.0 60' times. They will run me down at the 1/4 mile but when the tree goes green they see taillights.

1.6xxx 60' do feel great. Suspension and weight distribution.
