Not a 3rd Gen...

Re: Not a 3rd Gen...

No bottle, like the sig says... stock cubes, full bolt ons, heads & cam. Hate to burst anyone's bottle, but I ran consistent 12.20's with only bolt ons - stock long block, stock internals, etc.

My car is no light weight, but gutted LS1 cars with stock engines have seen 10's. I don't feel my ET's are that hard to swallow based on that. The heads & cam make up for the extra weight.

Re: Not a 3rd Gen...

Yeah I am too..I dont care what motor you have(this is anyone) In an F-body..(82-2002) it seems like 450-500ish at the wheels and hook gets your into the high 10s low 11s.. 10.11 at 127 is what my buddys 99Z car when last friday with a nasty wheel stand..Stock bottom end..Hot cam LS6 intake 200 shot..with some big *** slicks..BUT the car weighs 32-3200 with him in it..Not the typical 3650-3700lbs..Im sure Im ganna get flamed for what I said about hp numbers with 1/4 times but thats typicaly what iv seen/read drove....

OK... the sig is what I have done now & currently run at the track. 3 years ago when the car was just bolt ons with a stock long block - it ran 12.20's

12.20's was: stock internals, LT headers, true duals, UD pulley, LS6 intake, ported TB, 3500 stall, tune, lid, drag radials.

The 10.95 pass is all of what I had before + forged short block, AFR heads, cam, FAST 90mm intake & TB, EWP, 42# injectors, suspension work, 3.73 gears.

Re: Not a 3rd Gen...

Just an update for the naysayers...

10.779 & 10.777 back to back yesterday. Still N/A, still pump gas & drag radials, still being daily driven while I give my 91' some TLC. I'll post pictures of my slips tonight when I get home.

Re: Not a 3rd Gen...

i believe ya, there are lots of 4th gen ls cars where i'm from running around that on motor, there is one that while not a daily driver runs 5.40's in the 1/8th with a 200 shot. But I see it especially with heads and can, but yeah we all like to see car pics.

Re: Not a 3rd Gen...

That is a nice looking/running car. From your trap speed at the big end, I'm convinced your running n/a - and I'd wager an automatic as well.

Yup, rebuilt 4L60E with lots of Rossler parts and an old Yank SY3500 converter. The 123 MPH was weird, had the air filter out that pass.
