Ram air runin

sedanman · 01-09-2001, 01:22 PM

I was on my way to a appointment when I ran across a black 99-00 ram air 6spd and we got a light! we did not run right from the light we kinda rolled out then I hopped it a little and he nails it (very little spin) I nail and smoke the sh*t out my new Pilots (ugh I need drag radials again), he pulls about a car before I stop his momentem than about 1/2 way throught 4th I began to pull and we promptly shut down. I guess this goes down as a loss hu?

If you never got by him I guess it a loss, but you said you were catching him. Not too shabby in my book.

SMOKE · 01-09-2001, 04:15 PM

Good run nonetheless.

Nice run, how fast where you going when you started to pull on him?

Just get a good dyno tune and a custom chip with DR's and you wont have any problems at all. If you can pull an ls1 on the top end you are doing fine.

LS1JAY · 01-09-2001, 07:23 PM

Just curious, you said you started to pull on him but you say your car runs 103.9!in the 1/4 most M6 LS1's run 108-110 mph! so how did you pull on him? I'm not trying to rag on you it's just that you said your car runs 13.5@ 103.9, my A4 LS1 with 273's run's 13.1@ 106.5 mph on street tires spinning and its stock!

Rev · 01-09-2001, 07:49 PM

Most stock LS1's won't run 13.1 LS1Jay. The ones I've seen at HRP usually run 13.5-13.7 @ about 103-104. Don't get me wrong, they're really quick for stock Detroit iorn, but I've never seen a stock LS1 run 13.1. I don't doubt that your's does, just that most don't. Again, not questioning your car's performance. Just noting my limited observations.

LS1JAY · 01-10-2001, 08:18 AM

Rev, I have seen some LS1's that ran a bit slower than the average, M6 car's have a higher trap speed than an A4, maybe sedanman's car is a bit stronger than he say's, when you take in weather factors and whether or not he is at sealevel and so forth! I live in Fl, the track I ran at was at sea level, it was around 60 degrees and the humidity was at 69% which is decent but not ideal by any means, I have seen LS1's stock running anywhere from 13.60 @ 103 being a slow one, the fastest bone stock LS1 I ever saw as far a a F-Body goes was a 2000 Z-28 M6 on street tires, bone stock it ran 12.81 @ 110.88 it was perfect weather and he hooked realy good, I have seen stock LS1 vettes run 12.50 @ 112 MPH and a LS6 run 11.90 @ 117 MPH, but these are not the average, just as my friend had a 90 mustang that ran 13.1 with bolt ons, he had a strong car! he even got a 12.90 with an edelbrock intake! with heads, cam, and juice he ran 11.1 @ 116!

EZRIDN · 01-10-2001, 01:14 PM

Well i wouldn't really say that you got killed...more like smoked! J/K

Seriuosly good run man! you must be runnin real strong to pul on him in 4th gear! those LS1s are killer in the top gears. Sounds like you spining pretty bad with those pilots. we might have to hook 'em up before u get a set of DRs

I'll be back at school next week (early). its been 5 weeks since i've driven the stang

BTW i have seen a stock (lid, shifter) LS1 Z28 run 13.38 @ 109 when the conditions were so foggy u couldn't even see the end of the track!

I hope that my car will run a higher mph with colder air and the few mods I have added since my last run, Yes ezridn you might give me a pretty good run from a stop now cause these new tires spin like it is raining out! I am getting ready to order my 255 Dr's for when the snow goes away, I am also ordering a a/c delete kit this week, as well as a cold air induction kit.

I agree with rev, and im at the track very often, i just dont see 110 trap's on a stock ls1, maybe 104, and a little better with an SS.

exgmguy · 01-10-2001, 05:20 PM

I would concur.

103ish for a bone-stocker,
106-108 for a lightly modded LS1.

With my stock motor I trapped 103 and inched by a couple of LS1's on the freeway. You just never know!

90dscoupe I never said "we" were there the fastest stock cars on earth, I don't know who is driving those LS1's that are so slow, maybe they need to learn how to drive, like when my buddy's new cobra ran 14.3 in the quarter and he sold it because he thought it was slow, I however know that the problem was not the car, but him, he could not drive! 2 weeks ago at the track I saw a LS1 Camaro run 12.2 @ 112mph on street tires, his only mods were: 3000 stall converter,373 gears, headers, cut out, & a lid, thats it! he pulled a 1.6 60ft on street tires, not drag radials, his 1/8 mile was a 7.800 @ 89mph!!!! heck my car is a heavy Trans Am fully loaded, with 273 gears and it runs 13.1 @ 106.5!!!! on street tires! I'm not trying to say that stangs are slow! I just making a point! I know there potential!
