Nope.

You act like everybody in our 'net scene would have never heard of a guy with a similar guy who runs at their track.

Everyone who has stuff like this knows everyone else because they buy parts from the same people and ask the same people for advice.

Why don't you trot out some examples of ATI F1 cars that run 9's then.

There are none in Chicago.

Your turn.

 

Yeah your car puts down great numbers on the dyno but you can't say your car is a 9 second car til it runs it. I do not claim to know everyone in MI. You must be a pretty popular guy to know everyone in Chicago. I believe some of the fastest Mustangs are running ATI stuff. I can respect that you like Vortech blowers and that is great. I think both companies offer good stuff.

 

I didn't say I run 9's, I was saying that maybe only one 4th gen LT1 has run 9's with an ATI blower. Now that I think about it maybe that guy who is in like Nebraska with dual adders may have an F1 but he sprayed it too.

I challenge you to find me any other LT1 cars with F1's that run 9's.

 

You stated that one of Madman buddies is running an F1 and going 9's. Well look at his website and there is another guy in their going 9's with a D1X. This is referring to the first part of your post.

I do not know of many people running F1's on LT1's. The only other person that I know running one on an LT1 is rskrause. He is currently running 10 teens and his car is a full interior car weighing over 4000 lbs. He has enough mph to go 9's.

 

D1X is not an F1.

LT1 has been out 11 years.

So maybe the Vortech stuff just works better?

How come none of the Renegade NMRA guys run F1's? They run F1R's. Both of them. And who dominates that class? the YS/YSi guys. The F1R needs to be spun like 80K to work.

 

I was saying that maybe only one 4th gen LT1 has run 9's with an ATI blower.


I was referring to that statement.

 

He's mainly comparing the YS and the F1.

I would get a YSi from Vortech and you should go 9's just on blower and not need nitrous.

 

Is the YSI a direct swap or does it need modifications to the blower bracket? Have you installed one?

 

YS/YSi will install into Strim brackets but Chris Sikora can make brackets from scratch.

Here is my list of what I would do:

YS/YSi
Novi 2000
Turbo
...
...
F1R

 

I was unaware that Paxton offered a Novi 2000 for an LT1. Funny because out of the list the F1-R produces the most CFM. I guess that would depend on the size turbo you are running.

 

I was talking to Chris Sikora and we recall that Dallas Castro's old Camaro went 9's at one point. We can't think of any other LT1 or LS1 that has run 9's with a single power adder F1.

If we open up the field to include D1's, I'll win because I can think of at least five f-cars that have gone 9's with a T-trim.

My point is show me the cars. Don't believe the hype. Sure I can think of some Mustangs running 8's and 9's with the F1R, and they are... race cars. Do you plan to shift at 8000 or higher?

 

Can you please name all the LT1-fbody cars going 9's on Vortech blowers?

I think once you go with anything bigger than a YS or F1 trim you car can be considered a race car.

 

George Welter, 93 pace car, 9.9
George Baxter, 97 ss, 9.0
Madman/Ducote, 95 TA, 9.0
Chris Sikora, 96 z28, 8.9
LJ, z28, 9.9

All Vortech powered.

That's off the top of my head.

 

FWIW Madman lists a D1x for the burgandy Trans Am D1X,with a vortech mondo bypass.

 

It was a YS and then he put an ATI on it and then the car was sold.
