all motor camero?
I hope you guys dont think an ls1 is not capable of 11's with just boltons. I guess you havent seen Big Bakes car. All an ls1 needs is a converter, drag radials, suspension, exhaust, lid and filter, maybe headers. 1.6-1.7 60ft from a 2.1-2.0 (what stock suspension ls1's usually do on street tires). Thats .5 tenths right there.. stock ls1's run 13.5-13.3. take .5 x 1.5 and that gives you 7.5 tenths in the 1/4 just with good suspension and some sticky tires. take a car running 13.3 - .75.. what do you get. oh my.. 12.55 1/4 with just tires, suspension, torque converter.. add headers.. full exuast.. gears.. well you can see where im going. It is verry possable.
VERY possible even without suspension work.
I was running 12.40's backin 98 in my 98 WS6 formula with free mods, a lid, little ass Hoosier QTP's 26x8.5x16 tires , Mac headers
, a used blow master cat back I got from Joe Overton and a crappy little yank 3000 converter.
Keith was running 12.2x in his 98 SS with basically the same combo as me but he had a Vig converter.
This was back in 98.
With todays converters and some LT's and a good exhaust system no reason that those cars wouldn't have gone 12.0x-11.9x

Siiigh, I had a nice big post made up that politely explained everything. Unfortunately the damn thing got lost when the site said I didn't login, then expired my session. yay.
Anyway, here's my sock engine, bolt-on only, 3650 race weight, -2000 DA, 11.85 @ 113.5 timeslip http://www.bluefirehawk.com/images/newbest11s.gif
Don't believe a internally stock ls1 can't go 11s, think again. I know stock-internal ls1's who go mid 11's with lots of weight reduction. I know of stock weight (3600+), cam-only ls1 cars going mid 11's as well.
As for crystl's car, it's definately not my style and all that extra "ricer" crap takes away probably .3 in the E/T. As for the 11.3 claim, I don't think he's taken it to the track since the cam install so it's a bench-racing number. I'm guessing once he get's ALL the other bolt-ons for his car, some stickies, and some practice, he can go consistant 11.7's.
Bye,
Rob

Oh yeah and regarding the Red LT1 with the "rediculous suspension" (hahahaha) from what I've heard he broke his torque arm on that pass. I've seen his car in person racing, and both wheels come up. That's why he's in the 9's.

Maybe you're talking about the 95-98 5.0 motors, which were complete pigs, and NOONE cares if they win a race against them. 5th Gen Preludes are FAR, FAR, FAR from quick. Shit, a 5th gen Prelude weighs about 150 less than my Firebird.

Because insurance on a 330hp LS1 is enough, if they came from the factory 400-500hp, which they have NO problem whatsoever doing, then they'd only be getting sold to a very small niche of "racers." Who buys Z06's? 90% of the time, people that will (eventually) race them.

Please stop posting on this subject.
You are making yourself look more foolish with every post.
Step away from the internet site HP quotes and get some real world info.
LS1's dyno anywhere from 290-310 at the wheels.
And if you beat a 99+ GT, you beat someone that hasnt a clue how to drive.
You shouldnt make such broad statements as before, b/c your foot is definetly in your mouth.
