My car definitely picked up a ton of top end with LT's. It did seem to get a little soft on the botton end until about 2500rpm though.
I wouldn't consider a 13.4 to be "almost" a 13.0
Yeah well I got the itch after going to the track last night and running a 13.0@106 with a 1.8 60 ft.
Its not bad for a stock TB, ignition, MAF, and injector car, I think I can do 12's just need some more practice. I was gonna save for a turbo kit but I think its better that I get my all motor setup sorted out before I go ahead and bolt a power adder on. So yeah Im gonna go through and do all the bolt ons since I have none as far as motor goes besides the hci lol.
Anyways has anyone ever noticed a diff going to LTs from shorties? Im thinkin about switching over and Im just curious if anyone has actually seen some real gains, otherwise Im not going to bother.
What HAVE you run, and what BOLT ONS? I vaguely remember a cam at one point somewhere, which I personally dont consider a bolt on!
So you only ran a best of 13.4 is what Im reading here, and did it with the cam? Im not trying to be mean, but you did say you almost went as fast as him, when you werent even close, and seemed to have more than just bolt ons (unless you count a cam as a bolt on). Maybe I am being harsh because of the way your first post came off. It sounded like you were dogging him and had gone 13.1 with bolt ons, when the truth is, you didnt!
I had Intake, TB, CAI, pulleys, full exhaust, 3.73s, shifiter and ET Streets myself and went 13.0 @ 103. I know what its like to run quick without much done, but that shouldnt take away from others who are trying to run the number. Instead of starting your post like that, tell him what he can and cant do to improve and leave the "well you only ran this, and I went this with this" stuff to the signature!
You got me there..Its got a TFS 1 cam in it. That track number was with a weiand stealth intake, holley 650 carb,stock E5 heads, stock headers, xpipe, stock 2.25" tailpipes, 4.10 gears, slicks, and the cam.
With the above mods I ran 13.4 and it was my first time driving with a slick.
Since then I have added underdrive pulleys, electric fan, shorty headers, magnaflow 2.5" cats, 3inch tailpipes, got the dual snorkel air cleaner back on and most importantly the driver mod. lol The track doesnt open up until april 7th so Ive gotta wait till then to get some new numbers.
My 60's were only in the 1.80 range and above. Ive got the launches figured out since then so I am hoping to cut a lower 60'. I think if I do a little fine tuning and dial in a good launch that I should be easily able to cut a few tenths of my quarter mile time. But like I said I can be completely talking out of my ass. We cant know for sure until the track opens up. I'll keep you guys updated.
