Just bought a 92 RS, thinking about swapping in an LT1, any suggestions on how to make this a solid low 12 high 11's car? i don't know anyting about LT1's....

Thanks

 

CC306 cam...1.6 RR's complete exhaust 52mm throttle body...stock bottom end is pretty stout...

 

Do you know where I can get some information on that cam?

 

Hopefully some of the guys that have it will post in here for you...I don't know the specifics as far as lift/duration etc...I just know it builds MAJOR power...and will get you into the 11's...

 

hmm sounds good to me, so Stock LT1, plus that cam, and roller rockers, and definetly valve springs and retainers would get me into the 11's? sheesh everyone bad mouths LT1's it sounds like an LS1...

Thanks

 

Not with stock heads you wont get into the 11's. I think there were 3 cars running 11's with stock heads and they were/are MAJOR exceptions..

Good heads, decent cam, LT's, exhaust 1.6's, traction, suspension, gears, tuning and a really good driver with an M6 should get you there.

I would suggest you do ALOT of research before you dive into this, I would have saved myself alot of money in the process when I first started out modding.

 

There are a few guys running 11's on stock heads, but he is right you'll want to port and polish those heads...Oh and I forgot to mention a COMPLETE exhaust which includes replacing the manifolds back...

 

Thanks a lot guys, I didn't know LT1's were that quick.... I have a lil more respect for the LT1's when I come across them on the streets...

 

LT1s are solid cars. Full exhaust, 12-bolt rear w/ slicks, heads and cam will easily get you in the 11s. If I were to do it again, I'd buy most of my stuff used like headers and cat-back. Watch your wallet and find good deals and you can get way ahead of the game.

 

if u get a lt1 in there...bolt ons and heads n cam will give ya 11's

 

Thanks for heads Up.
