Finally getting some traction!

Went to Beaver Springs Dragway today cause its the last day of the season. Every time i went before i couldn't hook at all, my times ranged from 13.00 to 12.3, almost every time i spun bad out of the hole even with them just sprayin down VHT right before i got up there. Today i went with a buddy and used his et's fastest run was

R/t... .335
60'... 1.670
330.. 4.831
1/8... 7.521
MPH.. 91.36
1000. 9.833
1/4... 11.770
MPH.. 117.43

i stopped there because my trans started knocking on my floorboard.

Yep you can spend umteen thousands of dollars and make hundreds of horses but without traction it all for naught.

Congrats on the new pb.

^^^^^ what he said. My buddy just built a 383 lt1 supercharged and i put a few cars on him from 1st to the top of fourth for the simple reason of the only thing he has done to the suspension is shocks and nittos

yes its correct!! its loosing boost in second gear(i can see it fall off on the gauge) and it tops out at 5psi. when it should be seeing 10psi(belt slippage or just crappy blower?). In any case im prolly doing a turbo setup this winter so it should be closer to a forced induction MPH for you!!!!!!!!

That sucks. Good luck in your swap this winter. Maybe you'll make up that 10+ mph you're missing at the big end

That's what I was thinking. My stock-botton end, stock heads, 212/218 cammed LS1 with a stock pullied P1SC ran 11.17 @ 125+... Hell, my cam-only LS1 ran 116+ in a full weight car.
