Going to race a moddem LT1...
A guy I know in town challenged me to a race. He has a 1993 LT1 Camaro. He just bought it from a guy. I don't know a lot about it, but he said "400hp" "built motor" "roll cage" "lots of guages".
I saw the car the other day, its definatly nice, has a full roll cage, and big subframes underneath, with a custom 3" exhaust job coming out the back that sounds nice! I saw him get on it and it looked quick. Im thinkin if it really needs the roll cage it must have run 11's. But Im thinkin it was 11's on NOS, because of the guages? So we will see... Im running slicks though http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/smile.gif SKy ------------------ -1989 Saleen Mustang #406- TFS Heads, E-303, edelbrock intake,70MM TB, 73mm MAF, off road H, headers and 3chamber flows. 12.55@107mph Going for 11's on 87 octane with A/C and 20+MPG!!! |
Hey sky...
It REALLY depends on what he's done... find out =P Also.. if the cage's doorbars make it a PITA to get in and out of the car b/c theyre legal (go btwn shoulder and elbow) instead of parallel to the ground and around as*-level... Well then it isnt a cheapie rollbar for looks *probably*, and the guy actually IS concerned about legality. Thats what ive seen anyway. if ya could find out.. i could tell ya more http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/wink.gif hehe Phil Jerico Performance |

I raced a yellow SN-95 mustang with 18's and a saleen kit that was f*ing loud and had a matching yellow roll cage. This thing was frigging slow must have been running mid 14's cuz i walked by him easily. He had racing seats and two girls in the car, kinda felt bad for humilliating him.

Hey Sky, sounds like your car is runnin best as ever lately. He's new to his car, you're not. Put it on that mofo, at least by a few tenths. That's my opinion.

Well I ran into him yesturday, and I asked when were going to race. He seemed to be really cooling off on the idea. I think he's talked to some people around town and they keep telling him hes going to get smoked. I heard from a friend that rode in his car, that I will probably beat it by 4-5 lengths easy.. Turns out its just got, gears, stall, shift kit, exhaust, and a cam.

you'll beat him sky. your car runs hard. those old dogs mostly sound fast. as for the roll cage, look how many rice cars have a roll cage and very few of them even break out of the 14's. good luck.

Phil Jerico Performance |
Those things don't even sound fast.
You're gonna smoke him Sky. Picking up 1.5sec with gears a cam and headers is unheard of. GM's build quality is second to every one. They couldn't roll two engines off an assembly line within 30hp if their life depended on it. I've raced several LT-1's. I've never lost. (cept to a 96 Vette running hot with 3 passengers) I'm pretty sure I've never met one LT-1 Fbody that does better than mid 14's on the street. |
Yeah, Im going to run him this week. Im definatly not taknig it lightly or actually even expecting to win. Im just going to race him on the street tires I guess. We both have traction problems, so if he out powers me up top, let the better car win. I'm anxious to see how an LT1 runs.

Sky, yeah run the foo' http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/smile.gif Just depends on whether or not he can drive and what he's done. Some guys run 12's with less than him.. some guys do TONS of stuff and run 14's... methinks a 7yr old girl sitting on phonebooks and playing with her tamagochiwhateverthehelitis could run way better than alot of ppl. *shrug* worked lt1 heads, cam, gear and exh and im in the 11's... n/a... waiting on blower to get back from ATI.. gonna put a hurtin' on that stock shortblock.

lets be honest phil, most of the knuckle heads on the street put an exhaust on, intake system(k&n), and maybe a cam. you need the whole combo, not just pieces. the lt1's aren't that fast. are all of them 14 sec cars.NO. you can make any car fast with enough $$$$. I have yet to lose to one as well, unit!!!! are there faster lt1's than me? of course, no matter how fast you are there is all ways someone faster.

I wasnt the one generalizing, YOU were http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/wink.gif
And just like ignorant chevy guys say 5.0's are slow .. ignorant ford guys say f-bods are. 14sec cars?? lol.. ppl run 13's stock, ppl who can drive worth a damn, ppl who cant run 14's.. same nomatter what car they run. And really.. VERY few fbodies have any mods worth mentioning, BUT the ones that do.. s'like stangs, most i see have cai, pullys and the requisite flows up under em. Either way... why worry about stock cars.. sky's and dudes arent http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/wink.gif Some guys cars run strong and they can drive, others cant. If the dude has even a lil girlie 'lt4hotcam', exh and gears, he SHOULD be running 12's.. if he's done more work.. mid/low 12's arent hard to come by. Just hafta know what youre doing. And this, "ive never been beaten by a ___" before... Well ive never been waxed by a stang before... SO? Im NOT generalizing and saying its gonna beat him.. all i was doing was TRYING to give Sky an idea of what it MAY do with a decent driver. With what the guy has it should be deep into the 12's. What you dont know, may hurt your pride one day http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/wink.gif Phil Jerico Performance |
eh there.
Everyone knows there are quick cars out there, regardless of what make they are. I love the 5.0. But I know there are LT1 cars that are quicker. And I think it's phuckin' stoopid to say that GM can't roll anything out within 30HP of the next car, in terms of consistancy. How can you say that after the fiasco we just had with the intakes on the Cobra. Yeah, 5.0 is the shiznit. But it needs to be understood that it doesn't take alot to make a LT1 quicker on the street. I raced alot of them with my convertible. I ran 12.6's all day long. I managed to beat most, but some how I got taken out by a relatively stock TA. WTF? I still don't know what happened that day. All I can say is there are too many factors involved to be making these gross generalizations. Peace. have a nice day. SidV ------------------ "Humans define their reality through misery and suffering..." How's clever workin' out for ya'? |
Ummmm... I fail to see your point?
All the malfunctioning Cobra's put down the same numbers. A stock LS1 can very by 40hp. That's some serious numbers problems. Anywhere from the freak that dynos at 310rwhp stock, to the guy scratching his head at 280. GM just can't seem to get any consistancy. If you think my problems with GM's lack of quality control is "phucking stupid" that's your problem. I'm tired of hearing about all these "freak" LT-1's and LS-1's. Where are they when I race them, from a roll no less? Damn, if my car pulls off a high 13 I'm having a damn good day, yet I've taken 3 LS1's and too many LT1's to count??? I'm damn near stock. 145k on the odometer, exhuast, and an air filter. Whoop de doo. The last LT1 I ran was super clean, had custom plates that said "TEMPER" and he got the jump when I wasn't ready and I was in the wrong gear behind him. I pulled on him clear till I shifted into 4th gear with 2.73's. He began to even out with me and outpower me then. I raced a WS6 LS1 convert last fall, I did nothing short of whoop him. Like 3 cars to 70mph. He was cool and waved, but he had the most dumbfounded look on his face, so did his buddy. |

UNIT....ha ha ha, you must be John Force. You're one of these few guys who can run a moderate car and beat everyone on the road who has something hotter. Interesting. Reminds me of all the stuff I spank in my commuter Sentra E. *LOL*
I'm sorry dude, I don't beleive that you're beating everyone with 2.73's on the back. Just my oppinion. If you are, yer good to 70 or so...then you're getting your butt handed to you. That means yer not winning the 1/4 mile battle. So what are you braggin' about? My point with the Cobra is that if Ford says it makes 320 HP, then it should make 320 HP. Having to recall every freakin' car is unexcuseable when it's your line's premium car. Rediculous. As a 5.0 enthusiast, and frankly someone with a helluva' lot more car than you *LOL* (j/k), it was embarressing when that whole fiasco happened. And it still goes on with all the tire recalls to the explorer and Navigator. I think, pretty sure, those are all quality issues. Noone's perfect. You know how it is. Leave the stone's on the ground if you're living in your own lil glass house. Neither GM nor Ford are perfect. I think there were 3 recalls on my fox body....cats, ignition switch, fog switch. Wow...that's quality. I do admire you in that you are honest about your feelings with regard to your timeslips. And yes, I agree, most Camaro owners just go with the "Token" upgrades, but you blatantly slam GM as if you're brainwashed, when in reality you're not watching the whole picture. You're competitive with these cars, but you don't blow their doors off, as you would like to suggest. *L* Oh well.....just my oppinions. Have a nice day. My point with the |
About the "freak" LS1's. The last time I was at brothers dyno, every one hit above 300 RWHP with very basic mods. No cam or heads or intake, just the basics. Im jealous but I give credit where its due.

Well the only experience I had was racing 1 LT1 on the street and one LS1 on the street.
I raced the LT1 about a year ago, basically my car was in the same shape it is now. We ran on street tires. He said he had a cam, 3.73 gears, MAF, TB, intake. He said he had done everything but the headers and the heads. It was auto. Anyways re raced, I was spinning like crazy out of the whole so was he, I finally hooked in third, and we were dead even. On the 4th gear powershift I beat him by a fender. We went again and I launched worse this time with him winning by a half car. The LS1 I raced wasnt even close, the guy couldnt even launch the car. He just sat and spun, I was gone literrally 5-6 cars before he hardly got moving, and he gave up. At the track most LS1's run mid/low 13's. Ive yet to see one hit 12's, but its not because of power, its traction.

Okay so it's the freak at 280. I don't care, there is just too much difference in the way they dyno. No all dyno's are not the same, but the difference is over 10%. As far as all hitting above 300hp with basic mods, great, basic mods on a fox 5.0 can net 20hp easy.
Oh yes, my stock fox is just bad to the bone. That's what I was saying. More like I was saying any car that's supposed to be bad to the bone should kick my *** . I raced the one LS1 to 70. He would have had to make up 3 cars and pass in my next 30mph. That's about 7 sec. Hell of a lot of distance to pull in 7 sec. I'm not gonna debate the LS1 traps higher than me, or that it'll spank me top end, if you read my post even the LT1 had the top end edge. Since my car has 2.73's I would have been well done with the quarter when I shifted into 4th. I would have had about a 3 car advantage on the LT1 at the end of the quarter. Yea, that's like 3 tenths. http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/rolleyes.gif I guess me not building a drag 5.0 means I can't beat any LT1's or LS1's. Maybe they weren't racing? Maybe they were parked in the traffic lanes and I didn't notice? Or maybe the F-body lovers out there just can't stand to believe a stock 5.0 can run under a 15 flat in the quarter? Or that you can slap in the Vette's LT4 cam and pick up 1 or 1.5 sec in the quarter. Is it just me, or did that Vette run low/mid 13's? Honestly, I don't know what an "LT4 hotcam" is, sounds like a Grand Sport cam, did they have a hotter version? Damn, I can't even remember, what was the ZR1's engine designation? I thought that was the LT4? Oh well, don't remember, don't care too much. So long as I don't start getting beat. You can sit there and not believe how my car runs all you want. Honestly I don't really care, cause I know it runs how it does. I can actually laugh at you cause I know, and you look dumb cause you don't. To me anyway. Bring yourself a stock LT1 up to my place, or get a hold of a guy in the area that has one. I'll be happy to beat him for you. I'll give credit to the LS1 for stock power. From everything I've heard they run real low 13's to low 14's (depending on driver and style). Only a 1 sec difference, but they all trap somewhere in the 104+ category. Most of that difference could be driver. I've had other LS1 guys hop on the board and take a stance it's impossible for me to beat them. What it winds up coming down to is them later saying, "Oh, well it was a vert. Well, that's a totally different story now, they run real high 13's to real low 14's." What do I care? Maybe it was an auto vert? I beat it, and 2 others. Another vert (SS) which was damn close, almost dead even, and some punk kid in a Camaro Z28. Maybe they can't drive. Can't tell you, I just haven't seen any of the super powerful GM's yet. I've raced plenty, and that 96 Vette was the only one that's beat me. As far as the LT1's? Yep, they can run 13's from what I hear. If they can, they should beat me. Instead it's never been too hard to put the cars on 'em. As far as me being a freak driver, maybe, I don't know, never had my friends try to run my car to find out how they do. I think I'm good, but then again, so do all the idiots. I agree the Cobra should have made 320hp. Due to a last minute change to a different intake (which wound up being a mismatch) they didn't. The proto cars did. Inexcuseable, yep. Did Ford make it right? After some pushing and shoving. After the fix most were dynoing with 280hp at the wheels, about 340 at the crank. Sorry, I just don't think GM builds a good car. Maybe if they did they could sell some? |
lol, yur one defensive mofo... bro they must have KILLER stuffs up north http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/wink.gif Cause yer imagining things.. lol
Just b/c i drive a fbody i think stangs cant run faster than 15's? lol All i ever did was say what that car SHOULD run. Does it anger you?

For you Fbody guys, take a look into the Windsor Forum under "13's with a stocker, bull****!" There are a bunch of guys running 13's stock with their foxes.
Defensive, a little, course then again, the mightly LT1 which runs 13's only, and they mightly LS1, which runs high 12's low 13's only cannot be beaten. Don't even know why I try. [This message has been edited by Unit 5302 (edited 04-27-2001).] |

I want to add something here.
The last couple of weeks I've read several times that "Ford has this recall and that recall". Or that "Ford has the most recalls of any car maker." Somehow this is considered bad. Why? When my wifes cavalier blew a head gasket I was real pissed to learn that if it was Ford, Ford would have helped with a cost (3.8 head gaskets were partial covered by ford). But Chevy didn't have any assistance. Even Chysler had a freaking assistance package for it's head gaskets! Recalls don't always mean that a car is crap. It means that a car company is standing behind it's product and helping the customer. That's something that makes me feel more confident with my purchase. All I know is that I'm not buying another chev product, there are too many problems and not enough recalls. ------------------ Driving: 1998 F-150 Far way in Edmonton==> :( 1995 Mustang GT |
Hehehe... when car companies recall there product they are trying to do one thing save there @ss from lawsuits I dont think that caring factors into it. Oh and BTW I have not seen any of the new 4.6 GT's break a 14 flat, but I have seen a butt load of camaros run 13's or better. I cant figure out how these guys on this board are runnin mid 13's. There is a new 4.6 Cobra that runs out here he has gears, runs open headers, and has slicks and he is only managing to run a 13.40 at 104 mph. I dont know I am not saying that these guys are lying But I would like to personaly witness it. "I dont hate I appreciate"

Noboby's going to want to hear this. It's true never-the-less. After 100,000 miles, my Toyota ForeRunner blew a head gasket. I took it to the local Toyota dealer for repair. I figured it would be $1000-1500 parts and labor. Guess what? There was an open ended recall due to defective head gaskets. OPEN ENDED, WTF? No charge at all. After 100,000 miles, who would expect it? Toyota? Now I would buy another one, that's for f'ing-a sure.

All this talk about how slow the LT1's are when really the fact is stock vs. stock the LT1 is just plain faster. and I don't know where all you super fast stang guys are but I have yet to run into on that i didn't beat with my stock Z. long live the mighty 225hp 4.6 they are soooooo fast. hehe

Results of the Race!!
--------------------- Well we met up and went out to the street to race. I stupidly pulled off in the dirt and got my tires dirty. I was running my stuipd bald 225/50 radials. I told him he could have the jump from about a 5mph roll and I would nail it after him. We went he nailed it and hooked good, I nailed it and instantly spun bad, while he pulled another car on me. Z28 is about 2 cars ahead now. I am spinning like crazy in second and tryin to baby the gas to get traction. The Z is still pulling and Im about 3 cars behind now. I finally shift 3rd, being about 3.5-4 cars behind him, and I think I probably have lost. I powershifted 3rd hard and start pulling. I wind out 3rd and powershift 4th pulling up closer and closer on him. I get next to him and pull past him easily. We continue on to our set mark at the end and I win by about 2-2.5 cars lengths. It was a damn good race and I would have won way easier if I had sticky tires. IM going to get a set of 245 or 255 drag radials as soon as I can for the street, because I am sick of almost loosing on street tires.

Well I trtied to start my car last night using my spare distrubtor but it seems the pick=up has died in it, it gets spark from the coil but doesn't get any to the plugs. My other distrubtor has 3 broken teeth thanks to a weak gear and a high volume pump. So my dad to it to work to press that gear off and the new one on, should fire right up, god I can't wait. I'll post in the Windsor Forum. Have you made any decisions on your next mod, maybe a beefier rear? I think that would be a very good investment, especially if you are going to continue yto run slicks and launch hard. ------------------ Check Out My Site 91GT,Holley SysteMAX II Kit-Heads 2.02" x 1.60" port matched to a 1262,Anderson N-61,24#,76mm C&L,Full MAC exhaust 1-5/8" Long tubes,2-1/2" O.R H-Pipe,2 1/2" cat back, No A/C or PS or emissions, 12" K&N Filter,RNH PERFORMANCE Ram Air,Ron Davis Radiator,Full Suspension,S&W 8pt "X" brace,JAZ seats,3:73's,Welds..etc,4:30's and 31 splines coming very soon! |
hey rick, usually if the pick up goes bad you won't have a spark at all. your rotor may be groundinf out internally, so it's not letting the spark out of the cap. also it should throw a spark nearly an inch from the coil wire, if to weak it wont make it out of the cap as well. take it easy. good luck.
