will 49RWHP make it easier? whether it gains 50 or 500 it doesnt matter what the dyno tells you,the trap speed will confirm what levels of power you are putting out (after corrections for weather of course)

 

did you spin out BEFORE you started moving??whatever that doesnt really matter when the subject at hand is LTs on an LT1. BTW id find it amusing if you can actually post all 30#s of the people that were there LOL.If i call them,how would i know they aint lying???

 

Ok , Im simply saying for the billionth time , It isnt typical . And it takes more then headers and intake . I put headers on one just this morning ! I know how small the Manifolds are , I wouldnt put them on an Aspire ! they are tiny . But 50 HP....It would take Alot of other things to accent the cars headers . Full exhaust , Maybe a cutout , CAI , PC edit for mods , and It may put down 40 HP MAX for most . Just not typical .

 

30 people was a figure of speech . Not to be taken literaly .

 

It took a bit to get 45 HP , I wonder If I can find a similar Page with an LT1 project car ?

 

You know i try to keep up on the kill section, but damn, everytime something ends up turning into a loong *** thread that takes forever and a day to read. And even after i read all the looong, most of the time pointless posts....i still leave as confused as i started

 

Robb...internet toughguy? I would punch you in the ***in teeth if I met your ignorant *** in person. You have absolutely no ***in clue what you're talking about. NONE. When I say 'intake', it's obvious I mean cold air intake seeing as how I haven't made reference to an intake manifold this whole thread.

As far as beating my LT1? I would love to see you beat my mid 12 second LT1 that traps 112 in the 1/4. If you're referring to my new LS1 SS that traps 106, it's bone *** stock down to the paper filter.

I'm done arguing with you...you're too ****in stupid and anyone with half a brain can see that. Your ignorance has me at a total loss of words. I'm going to post a link to this thread in LT1 tech so hopefully they can set your stupid *** straight.

BTW - eat a dick.

 

that time i cut was on a pretty hot day (over 90 degrees) with audible detonation in 2nd and 3rd gear. with better air and no det i'm pretty sure the car can go quicker. and long tubes? how are you passing the visual on emissions? it's all good, though. a sleeper cam is going in soon enough to take care of jokers like you.

 

on that run I had an ignition miss (bad cap) and a badly slipping clutch (wouldnt even chirp second). was WAY over revving in third too. ill post a vid of that run (smoking an LS1 btw ) ive also done a few other tuning adjustments since then as well...

dunno about emissions yet, gonna worry about that later (december), hopefully find the hookup somewhere. if not, well the long tubes were pretty easy. so ill just swap some stock manifolds for a few minutes.

 

robb is a little cocky, but he's right. 49 out of 50 times no LT1 will put down over 300 RWHP with intake/full exhaust unless it's a freak. I sure as hell know mine doesn't put down near 300 RWHP with intake, new plugs/wires, headers into a 2.5 y-pipe through a gutted cat and out a cutout. Also have all free mods.

 

I'm having my car dynoed in 2 weeks (and yeah this thread will be locked before then). I have catback, cutout, cai, 1.6rr's, airfoil (weeeee!), and 3200 stall. I'll post results and hopefully the graph when it happens

 

Robb you need some english classes because reading through 8 pages of your worthless dribble, and inabilty to form a readable sentence just made me dyslexic (sic?).

Now on to the debate at hand... I personally know the guy 97bowtie is referring to that put 310 down with just LT's and CAI, another guy in my club just put down 279 in a LT1 with his only mod being a cutout. The major benefit the LS1 has over the LT1 is the heads, stock for stock, once you start modding all bets are off. A good running LT1 with LT's and some sort of catback, cutout, etc. and CAI should be a handful for a stock or lightly modded LS1 car and may edge it out. I was out at the track recently and watched a C5 repeatedly trap 100 mph. I also spanked several LS1 cars when all I had was CAI and exhaust, it can, and has been done. The LS1 is an amazing motor and I will own one very soon, in a vette, but the LT1 is just as capable especially when you start modding. Now go ahead and tell me I don't know anything and I have no experience with these cars.

 

Ok, 97 Bowtie, I saw your post for "calling all cars" in the Lounge to set Robb straight on the fact that headers and cai make 50hp.

Sorry, Bowtie, I'd love to agree with you, because I'm also a fellow LT1 owner, but I can't do it this time. You must have one freak of a car if you picked up 50hp from a pair of longtubes and a cai.

If that case was typical, everybody would do it. Hell, I wouldn't have even bothered going out and getting a Hot Cam setup. Normally a good LT1 will dyno in the 260hp range, but I don't see 310hp at the wheels with just those mods. With longtubes and a cai, I can see about 310 at the crank, but that's it.

 

wow, now Im thinkin that dyno you guys take it to is reading too high. just shows you cant trust dyno numbers. whats your friend with just cutout trap at? 103-104's??

 

Wow guess my buddy that put 310rwhp down with lts and cai had 0% drivetrain loss. 300rwhp with a 6spd lts and cai is attainable unless the car is running bad. Even if the car puts down 280rwhp, how the hell does that add up to 310 crank hp? My car had shorties, 1.6rrs and 140k on it and i dyno'd 297rwhp in it and lts are a pretty nice gain over shorties. Hell i bet my bone stock ws6 is putting down 265rwhp which is somewhere around 310 crank hp. I guess doing LT's and getting rid of the rest of the exhaust will give me no power gain at all. No point in modding i guess. I will have to get some stock dyno #'s and LT dyno #'s and i will resurrect this thread. BTW, rob you're an ignorant moron.
