Had a pretty good day at the shootout, got a new best and won the LT1 Pure Street (bolt-on) class at the EFA shootout at MIR...DA apparently was +1000 or more so I think there is more in her but it's time for me to move on to heads and cam..so my quest for 11's fell a tic short at 12.034 @ 112.29 MPH. All my runs that day were 12.03-12.08 so I feel good that I backed up the time. Weighed the car today and she weighed 3353 with street tires on the back, so race weight was prob around 3300 incase anyone was interested. Only bad thing that day was having to beat Dirk (another EFA member on this board) to win the class...great guy.

P.S. I will update my sig after posting this

 

oh, here is the video of the run...

What gears and converter are you running?

 

3.73's and 3000 Yank...other mods are LT headers, no cats, mez water pump, duals with x-pipe, 1LE DS, drag shocks, V6 springs, and 1.6 rockers, tires where BFG drag radials and ET streets (I tried both that day) We had a little bit of a tail wind (not much) so that might account for some of the MPH.

 

Congrats , Bill . I still can't believe how fast you have that stock Lt1 going. Hell, I only ran an 11.92@115 on the motor that day..lol It was nice to meet you although it was rushed and we couldn't talk that much.
Take Care

Nice run and times for a bolt on&off car!

I gues I am a little jealous as you are running the times I run and I have heads and XE 230/236 cam along with all the other mods! Dyno tune to come tho!

Nice job!

Ken

 

Bill congrat on the new best. Yeah you smoked me good,i shoulda loaded the bottle in for the final round,heh.

I didnt know you went to true duals and a Xpipe,i woulda checked it out if i had known,killer times bud.

good seeing you again.

 

i thought it would have weighed less that that.. Anyway.. congrat's on the new best.. W/ h/c you might be able to hit 10's Just wish me and larry could have been there.. Even if all i could do was cheerlead...

 

Congrats Bill, those are awesome times for a bolt-on car!!

 

I was just looking at your article in the May 03 GMHTP trying to figure out how you are so quick. Nice car and what kinda of sixty's are you pulling.

 

just saw your sig 1.63 sixty.

 

Thanks guys..

Matt, nice meeting you too. Thanks for taking the torque arm to chris.

Steve, Dont forget to subtract my fart azz from the weight , so car weight was a tic over 3100 since I weigh in around 190..notice I said race weight Wish you both could have been there too..Tell Larry I said Hi.

Dirk, Imagine the look on my face if you sprayed that run..lol Good luck getting in the 10's I know you can do it, just keep her straight I mentioned a few times on EFA about the exhaust, guess you missed it..you think it was louder then it was in Englishtown...lmao

 

Congrats on those outstanding times. I wish I could have been there to see that. for the LT1's!!!!!

 

Congrats on the 12.0's Bill!!!
Steve...
