Stock LT1 goes 10.89
I took the Firebird out last week after a 3 year break from the track. The best pass last time out was 11.003 @ 120. This time the best pass was 10.89 @ 118. It's way low on MPH, but still ETs pretty good. Last time out it had 117k miles; it now has 140k miles. The motor is all stock; it has the stock exhaust manifold, "y" pipe, paper filter, intake tube, and throttle body. Here's a video.

Let me be the first to say, WHA WHOO!!! ;) Now let me ask, how much spray does it take to run that fast? I'm new to this power adder stuff.

Wow that sucker must be very light judging the mph. I would say a 150-175 shot at about 3200lb raceweight with driver? Congrats on the new best!

Thanks.
It's a 180 shot with a cold bottle to keep the hit down - got to keep the stock rear end in one piece. The solenoids are still under the driver seat (also softens the hit). It only ran a 1.52 60'er. Additionally, the top end performance really fell off. I only picked up 20 MPH in the second half of the track. I'm not sure if it's the milage or if something is really tired? That's me from the July 2006 issue of GMHTP. This was going to be my last ditch effort at the World Record for stock motor on nitrous: 10.86. I'm thinking of giving her one more try. What do you guys think? |
valve springs are probly gone

Amazing! How much does it weigh??
|
I just ran a 10.93 @ 124 on stock short block and heads. I still can't beleave what your doing without exhaust and a cam. Thats rolling out pretty good. I wished I had hit the diet as hard as you did.
I even sprayed a bigger shot. |
Bad A*#!

Congrats on the new times. I remember reading about your car in GMHTP, I was very impressed with what you put together for such little cost. :thumb:

How do you manage a 1.5 60' ???
|
Thanks. It's been alot of fun and a real eye opening experience: attention to the small stuff a tenth here a half a tenth there.
How do you manage a 1.5 60' ??? Or are you talking about something else? Three years ago the 60's were 1.50. This time was to conservative with the 1.52 60'ers. |
great times!! makes me sick to my stomach though to think i have a mild cam 355 on a 300 shot and i only run 11.5 :( but it gives me hope that it can go alot faster if i get the stock gear out of it!! congrats on the times!!
