Congrats BJ, that is just plain awesome. For the naysayers, I didn't see the run, but if BJ says that's what he ran, then that's what he ran. BJ doesn't lie about his car. You can check this board and find that BJ shares his gains and losses when he mods his car. He doesn't pull the secretive **** that alot of people like to and claim more from their car while lying about their mods. As for the rearend giving out with 1.5 60's, you have to remember that an auto is more forgiving than a 6 speed. Low 1.6s are what I got all day long when I was just boltons and gas.

 

A slight correction on the TA from Oklahoma.


No blower...........................

305 cam and n20 and some bolt on's, stock heads.

Like I said, there are/were no flames intended. They are just my observations/opinions, and should be taken as just that. If you take them as flames, after I clearly stated they weren't intended as such, oh well. I know Mike, too, and that is the reason I don't do business there. I am fully aware that the Carolinas are the NASCAR capital. That doesn't mean the shops here are any better for our cars than any others anywhere else. THAT'S just MY opinion.

 

The last time I saw his car, almost 2 years ago, I could have sworn it had a blower on it, also. But, like I said, that was almost 2 years ago, so I may be mistaken.

 

well I did see his run. It was a 7.1@95 mph. BUT the thing is Brewers is a notorious "Down Hill" track is what some say. I go to kinston and run 9.2's in the 1/8th, then the week before i was pulling 8.8's at brewers in the 1/8th. It could be my driving but I don't know. About the only thing that was accurate at both tracks was my 60ft, which was a 2.0 . KDS was hard to hook up on that day and brewers usually hooks up pretty good.

1/8 mile motor

The car has no blower though! I listed all my specs on our board [http://www.ws6zxr.com/showthread.php...eferrerid=1176]

I'll have some new NOS times with the 125 real soon.

Rear end completly stock, change the fuild three times. launched 1.70, 1.696, 1.680, and 1.686 that day.

No weight reduction, power everything, added RK sport tubular subframe connectors, KYB adj shocks, stock panhard, Lakewood LCA's, all other suspension STOCK. No heads yet

 

Thanks for clearing it up.....you da MAN!! I'm thinking about starting the Todd D'Amico fan club....LOL

 

It must have gotten lost in the interpretation, but I was not by any stretch calling BS on the times that Rockafella posted. I called BS on the statement about the stock-internalled LT1 and/or the stock 10-bolt not holding up to his ponies.

 

Ok for all those that don't believe BJ I have it on video. I have helped work on the car and the mods that he list are correct nothing more nothing less. And the jets are for a 100 shot. This car runs consitant 7.9's on motor and low 7's on gas I have seen it done 20 times over the last 5 months. Yall can keep rasing the flag but if you think it ain't true then come get some of the beast. And as far as a stock rear not holding ol BJ was holding the camera when my car pulled the front wheels on a gas out the hole pass(1.61'). And the part about the down hill track it has been 7.2's at nam in the 1/8 without the skinny's up front and 7.3's on nitto drags.

Thanks for clearing that up.

Originally posted by G22Lvr "...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"


Which is it?

 

[QUOTE]Originally posted by slimdawson
[B]Which is what?? I believe the stock rear end can handle 500HP. That's why the above quote says BS about it NOT holding the HP....can I make it any clearer?

 

Well, yes, you could have made it clearer. But I admit, I read that carelessly and the mistake is mine. Sorry.

 

Chris, Jason, Dan, Mikie, Russ and others; Thanks for the kind words.

I'm not going to take the time to reply to every single post but I will say these few things. Thanks again Chris and you are the man; Hope that beast can make it to the Rock or something sometime this year and You best come up here and let us know when you're going. Oh yeah, keep us updated on when we can see the LT1 vette again, the blue one that is; That's one of my favorite street cars period!!

Dan, you're right, Brewer's has been known to produce quick times but as Jason said; The car's been almost as fast at Nam without the skinnies so the times with the addition of the skinnies are very believable. Also as Jason said, the car has made numerous passes in the 7's on motor and I have listed all of my mods many times.

With back seats and all my car weighed 3550 with me in it when we did the GMHTP shootout this past summer. Take off the chrome wheels and add skinnies and et streets as well as remove the back seats, etc; and you can see that my car weighs less than 3500 lbs with me in it so that may have a little to do with it.

*****, as for the engine being blown; I don't believe that's it. But I will finally be able to say that my intake and heads are coming off the engine for the first time. I doubt that I'll port or polish the heads, but a valve job will be needed I believe.

Anyways, I guess I'll keep everyone updated. Sad that people that work at MORE Performance don't know what these cars will do. That's gotten me a little worried...

 

BJ just call AFR and get the new Lt1 heads they just came out with. I would love to see that.

O Yea I got your back with the stock rear thing. Mines still stock too.
