i can't run pump gas :cry: .. 116 octane ftw but yes 9's on motor


:wavey:

i got closer to 40 grand into the car believe it or not. best of parts = lots o'money...engine was 12.5k with headers 15k

Now you can use LS heads on GenI's :naughty:

That would interesting to see.

here you go. http://www.worldcastings.com/whatsnew.htm
On the left hand side "Hybrid"

Ehhhhh, I dunno whether that counts.....

It counts alright, for an extra 30-40 hp!

Yea but its an aftermarket block... ehhhh

It is but it is a great idea. It will also keep demand up for both styles of engine. That horsepower gain is just from windage!

Weird combo though, GenI cam journals with LSX lobes... strange.

So does that mean I can have a SBC looking engine, but with L92 heads and a cam with 650 lift?

He took you to school, now get over it.

haha i forgot about the headers. glad to see that my estimate wasnt far off. i was just roust abouting what i saw in your car. :lol:


i dont take anything away from anyone that builds any type of gen1. i dont care for the lt1's so yeah i trash them all the time, its fun. im just saying that with the power to economy ratio the ls1 isnt going anywhere....anytime soon. its here to stay

horsey eh, mike?

LO3 FTMFW...you can't hang...

oh and i got the latest issue of motor trend, 5th gen camaro SS with the LS3 V8 runs 13.0 @ 111mph stock, on stock street tires. thats about the same as a 4th gen. and of course either car could be faster, depending on whos driving it.

Mph is a good five mph higher. And if you compare mag times ls1 cars ran mid 13s when new.

But more cubes... and more technology...

And more weight. And more rotational mass. And better looking.

12.95 @112 is the fastest Ive seen. I belive it was hot rod mag. 112mph is a lot for a high 12 sec car. This thing should deffinatly be in the mid 12's.

Yea but think about it they use to make 13.6-7 passes in 6spd LS1's...We all know they cant drag race...I think well be seeing some mid 12's outta them stock soon enough.

Show me a bone stock LS1 with street tires that's trapping at 111....that's not happening.

big deal about trap. its obvious this thing cant get off the line and get its fat ass moving. the new camaro is crap.

That only tells you the power it's making....to hell with that meaningless bit of info. :rofl::rofl::rofl:

BTW, try launching an IRS rear compared to a solid axle rear...big difference(I HATED HATED HATED the IRS in the 'vette)

i know that trap speed shows your power but can data can also be skewed by the fact that they can be spinning hard off the line which would make your trap speed a bit higher than it really should.





i know all about launching an irs as well. used to own a 1990 supercoupe 5 speed. loved that car to hell. :nod:

With that car you could hardly call it launching. :rofl:
