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!!

 

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.

 

Congrats dude. That stock internal LT1 is MOVING!

 

Runnin purty good man... put the 150 jets in already!

D.

 

Thx for the kind words fellas;

*****, 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!!

 

Simply awesome dude!

Chris

 

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.

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?

 

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.

 

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!

 

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

 

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


Later
Mike

 

I will buy the Nitrous Works setup, and come up to pick it up...let me know....
Rockafella, Not calling 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
