From 9.9@140mph to 9.5@145+ is a lot of difference... im trying to max out my setup on pump gas only... be a complete street car....
I dont think I need 950HP is what i need to reach my goals.. as a matter of fact 700rwhp is 825.
Z8s was referring to me.. which was why he sent me a PM.
Its all straighthen out. He is trying to help me out with my setup

When you consider gas mileage, cost of fuel, detonation and octane considerations, power versus traction issues, why would you want to want to try to use a YSI car as a true street car? You can drive it a little on the street, but what would be the point? You could have more fun with less blower.

Even still, with the YSI you could pulley it down for everyday use, then swap pulleys and fuel and hit the track. You won't have that kind of flexibility with an S-trim.
More fun with less blower? I don't ever recall having more fun with less horsepower, but to each his own.

But to let people know not to beleive everything they read . and just a question ? Stealth 2 how much have you actually done on your dads car ? not trying to be a dick I am just curious. TIA Chris

I will not post my LS1 resume in an effort to gain your approval, but I will say that I believe I am the fastest female LS1 racer in the US.
BTW, my Dad gave me the car because he's racing 7-second Quick 16 and Run what you brung stuff, and because the LS1/LT1 market is really for younger racers like me.

Stealth...
I specifically told you in answer to your PM that z8s was talking to me...
I do not know z8s nor we live in the same country... so.. why would i cover up his A$$?
Take it easy...
but i will tell you one thing...
male or female.. it makes no difference really.. so do not bring that out here.. if you are looking to have power on your car to be procclaimed, best bet would be to race in NHRA where lisa Kubos is one of the most dominant women out there and she drives a FWD ecotec that has a tad more than 1000rwhp and she is already in the 7s figures...
Your oppinion is always welcome.. but i've already explained that z8s post was a misunderstanding to you as he was referring TO ME! ME THE HIGHLANDER.. CHristian de Saint Preux.
THe reality is that check out www.corral.net and you will find many more people running ys-trim and ysi-trims on the street and not necessarily for 1000rwhp goals...
http://www.corral.net/forums/showthr...hlight=YSitrim
I've asked you specifically to post your results on the PRO-M Maf and that would really help me going if you have any results about it...
I can understand if you do not think that the ysi-trim is not for the street as it is a 1000rwhp capable blower and to get 1000rwhp out of a setup will require tires, fuel, cage, and all the things that are not charasteristic of a pure street car...
if you come to see it... a T-trim will be the best bet for a street car, which i have one. but i feel the T-trim at 700rwhp would be over its efficiency and quite over its impeller max efficent rpm. I know 700rwhp can be gotten out of and that is my goal.. after the T-trim comes the big step of the ys...
The ys if it doesn't work i will most likely sell it as i have the T-trim here next to it.. As it stands it looks like a big step from the S-trim in size, impeller, and Heavy duty all.
I was a bit surprised that the plate required no modifications, and as z8s asked if i had bolted it to the car, that that was where the problem lied.
I just wanted to know all of your guys oppinion in the subject...
in the end.. intimd8 just summed up my oppinion about it...
i wont be bound to just pump gas... it is my main goal.. but with the t-trim... i will just still be in the same "flow/boost" with pump or race gas... i will just "maximize" the power out put from better tunning with better gas...
The ys is something i will be able to grow if i ever need it.

She doesn't drive an LS1 or Lt1.
I'm not sure what questions you have about our Pro M maf, but I'll post performance results at some point. I would take a minor disertation to explain Pro M setup and programmng.
I think we've beaten the streetability issue to death. Let us know how you do.

From your "perspective" this is stealth talking...
And yes it would be nice to see that dissertation.. I believe that hte Pro-M maf is 0-5v with a converter to Hz...
Some people say that the PRo-M for the GM does transmit in frequency and not volts..
The good idea would be to have a suepr big maf that would not reach the hz limit out put that the PCM has and thus have a better fueling option. I dont care if the number i put the pcm is the correct number.. i care that the car does what i want it to do regardless if hte number is correct or not... to that what i mean is scale the maf tables to whatever I care is best to have the driveability i need and to have a better control over PE since it will not max.
I will try speed density in the next few months...

No way would we run 91/93 octane pump gas in our YSI car, but it's up to you. You can idle around town at 2-3000 rpm and be safe.
We're in the process of changing to a XX, which has even greater challenges.

Well, you've described a race car that you would like to drive daily and you can do that, but it will take some extra work.
When you ask questions on these sites, you get opinions from various site users, which does not mean that you will agree with all opinions.
My YSi car runs mid 9s at 5800 ft, and made almost 900 hp last year on the YS. It just doesn't seem like a practical street car to me, but that's our view.
BTW, my Dad warned me about posting at LS1tech.com, not this site. Since Z8s pm'd you, I'm guessing he was referring to me. I can't believe someone would try to tell me not to post. Unbelievable, he must be from ls1tech.

when did 9.9s become mid 9s?? Also, when did YOU drive the car into the 9s period?

Chris (Z8's) knows his stuff, a good person to get help from for a YS trim car Highlander

Oh and streetability depends on the tolerance of the driver IMO
