..is this true, just heard it from a friend;

"Also, Roy just read an article that they swapped one of the belts on the LS1 to bypass the Power Steering (shorter belt) forgot the brand but part number is K-060512 & they gained 3/10th of a second & like 3-4 mph or something on an 11 second LS1 so they went from 11.7 to 11.4 so if your car was stock it'd prolly make 4/10th of a second or better cuz the faster you get the harder it is to get faster"

..his quote

BTW...what brand is this belt?


thanks

 

this is a Gates belt, i bought it for my car after reading the same article in hot rod magazine "engines", the belt is TOO short. try one that is about 1 1/2 inches longer. i havent gotten around to exchanging mine yet, so let me know how it works out.

 

Cool, I will

 

that was a typo actually.. it wasnt 0.30 faster. it was 0.030 faster

 

...are you serious or just messing with me?

 

No joke Mike. Phantom is right. I was a typo in Hot Rod magazine on the article about SAM (Jud Massingill and crew). The gain isn't too much.

Just got to ask me first next time...

 

.....I heard this and I was like cool....I did a search on LS1.com and found alot of info on it...some have claimed big and some small...like Tom Byrne say's...every second counts

 

Serious...

your going straight, your not using your poweer steering anyway.. so bypassing it you expect to gain 30 hp? cmon

 

yeah every second counts..but .030 isnt a biggie...pull some interior out before you run and youll get a bigger diffrence than that
