Im home on leave back in Maine and im cruisin around in my Grand National when i stop next to a LT1 Corvette at a light. At first i really didnt think anything of it untill he took off like a bat out of hell. So at the next light i pulled up and gave him the nod. i brake boost to about 5 lbs and waited. the light turned green and i pulled a quick 2 cars on him and kept pulling. i pulled into the nearby GMC dealership to look at some trucks and he followed me in. He told me he had a mild cam/headers/intake/exhaust....going down to the track to meet him sunday to race him again. I think he lied about the cam...wasnt lopy at all....was loud as hell though so i dont doubt the headers and exhaust.

 

sweet kill bro

 

it could have been a hotcam. not sure if they sound lopey or not but they are considered "mild" for an LT1.

 

Hotcams usually lope half decent for how small they are. I think their usually ground on a 110 LSA.

There are a few cams out there though for LT1's that practically idle as smooth as stock.

 

How much power is your grand pushing? Must be pretty good to be beatting a cammed lt1, well not stock anyways. Nice kill!

 

nice job bro, grand nationals are SCARY CARS. ive seen some retardly fast wheely pulling grand nationals down at New England Dragway, if i were to get another muscle car it would be a Grand National.

 

Yea hotcams have a pretty decent lope...btw good kill

 

You can build boost on the line, and then just hold it? Do you have a trans brake?

If I brake-torque at the line and let it build any positive boost at all, it immediately swings to 18psi and annihilates the rear tires.

 

I dont hold it to the floor right away....i kinda hold it till the tires stop spinning and then lay into it. nice lookin GN by the way....
