:rolf :rolf I just noticed it.

Thanks for the feedback. :thumbsup

[GRNDNL]

maybe someday :rolf

I agree..... :D

When a LS1 powered anything lines up against my stock block/heads 3700lbs GN and beats me then I might give them a little respect.....Till then I'll continue to think they make a fine little girls car........ ;)

We going to line up next year Jeff?..... :Hump

[SLOWC5]

Keith,

you get the GN running this year? I heard you were having issues with tuning and it running right? spring some time I'm sure ill be free :thumbsup

Factory stock 51,000 mile short block, stock ported heads, stock intake, stock headers, stock computer, stock 200R4 tranny, factory stock gears, ice cold A/C, Power everything............Oh and 3625 lbs brick with only 6 cyls....... :rolf :rolf

The class I run in I'm mid pack......a lot more Turbo Regals out there faster than mine....... ;)

[GRNDNL]

Keith,

JEFF

Issues in a understatement......I "think" I've got it figured out.....

May step down a class.......need to run a factory stock turbo and intercooler.... :stare

[SLOWC5]

keith thats why my link says "SLOW LS1"

JEFF

[Crawlin]

Keith, what's the last two numbers?

My stock block, stock ported heads, 100% stock intake path, and wittle 75 shot was close to that time, weighing at 3400lbs. and the 6cyl comment, you know better than that arguement ;)

[turbogarrett]

I have a feeling there will be some more budget 10 sec ls1's next year....

Somewhere in the 30's, the MPH was down 4-5 with the 20MPH headwind, think the effected the ET any?....Nawwww..... ;)

I wonder how fast I would be with a TH350, big bore, headers, 200lbs+ pounds lighter, no A/C, light weight seats, a better aero body and that killer torque arm suspension....... :shades Ya....know...I must be getting old (older?), I kind of like my A/C, overdrive, and comfortable power seats that you LS1 guys have to gut to go fast (for a LS1) ....... :thumbsup

Look on the front page of BCM......why is there a import at the top of the 1/4 mile list on a predominantly F-Body sight?......... :rolf :rolf

[GRNDNL]

me too :rolf


And look who shows up!......Get off the dam interweb and finish ONE of your cars will ya....... :chair:

[Syclone0044]

C'mon Keith you know you can't use the A/C argument when you only run the car at the track and the track doesn't allow A/C operation! (condensor dripping on starting line) :goof

[jbiscuit]

I run my car down the track listening to Metallica....ha ha ha ha.....gets me pumped up! :rolf

[GRNDNL]

Ya....but I use it on the return road all time.......Brrrrrrr..... :flipoff2: :durr

[GRNDNL]

I listen to Winger and the early glam Poison....... :headbang :headbang

[jbiscuit]

ha ha ha ha......WINGER! NICE!

[Scales]

Winger, BOOOOO

Poison rocks!!! Good choice!!

[SLOWC5]

yeah my 8 way power seats and AC worked nice when I drove it to michigan in the 100 degree weekend this summer. that trip along was farther than your car moved this year keith. did your GN even make it to the track this year?

mine weighs in at 3550 with me, so dont cry about the weight

I imagine the "Factory original" Sound system does the job too! :rolf

[SLOWC5]

yeah the BOSE stereo works just fine, the exhaust is better to listen too.

JEFF

[jbiscuit]

Corsa?

Yup...Sounds about right, your car would be about 3700lbs with me in it.. :stare ...Dam I should let you drive my junk, probably pick up 3 or 4 tenths..... ;)

I went 11.0 @ 118 this year in Bowling Green, on and off the throttle 3 times, ran 6.5 1/8th..... ;) I think about 800 miles on the street......

If i cared all about that stuff, then i'm sure it'd be on the car :) wonder what I could do with a big turbo on a stock displacement LS1 w/ A/C and all that crap with a HEAVY 4L80E in the car? oh yeah, been done before, 8.9x @150 give or take :) Your slipping grandpa

i was still quicker than you this year :) think of it as "bugs" being worked out on both of our cars :)

One car ran one number once.....(yawn)....I can show you a GN with A/C and power everything that just ran 8.4's, at 3550lbs, on a stock suspension and drag radials...... :wooo .....Again only one car....once....(yawn)..... :rolleyes:

Are you SURE you were quicker this year?.........I usually don't count TnT times... ;) ....You might have had "bugs" this year, my $hit was freakin possessed...... :mad:

If you LS1 guys don't hurry and step up I may have to build a car to show you how it done.....

[turbogarrett]

I don't think sticking a LS1 in some import counts...... :D

Ah, cmon you said "LS1 powered anything" :D I'm only a couple hundred #'s lighter than a zo6. I would love to build a gn powered 7 for the strip, someday soon....

[SLOWC5]

well keith being 20+ years older, and owning a company I'd hope you could build a fast car....


JEFF

JEFF

I agree.......But I'm stuck with some off brand car they don't make hardly any parts for....but it seems to do ok with the stock parts, especially against LS1's..... ;) :thumbsup

[Crawlin]

damn well better agree...

let's see, i've had this combo at the track maybe a total of 5 passes? and only 2 with the spray.

i think you should do it. make a fast LS1 and show us how.

there is fewer parts for the LS1 cars than there is GN's. come on, dont play that card. hell we are just FINALLY getting some aftermarket casting stuff. how long has the stage2 stuff been around?

god i love getting in these bitching fests...

[GRNDNL]

Well..Ya...I guess I did say that :eek: We'll have to line after I embarass Jeffs fancy little red sports car with my mullet machine......

For real, the LS1 powered 7 is way cooler than a LC2 powered car, to many Buick powered 7's running around already....

[SLOWC5]

i dont see how beating my car in the 1/4 mile embarrass's me? I could care less, I'm not building it and racing it to make a point, but to have fun and enjoy my hobby. I never claimed to be faster than anyone.

enjoy :alcoholic

Compare the Stage II stuff to the stuff that Ronnie Duke is running, all race stuff not even really related the street stuff.......

Didn't I just read in GM Hi-Tech about 19 different Gen III based cyl heads?......I have a choice of 2, one set that that you have to pull every few runs to weld the cracks and another set that you wait a year or 2 or 3 to get..Oh wait..make that 3 choices, you can port the stockers (like I did) and if your good get a good 200-210 cfm out of them.... :crying How many intake manifolds out there for a LS? motor....We have one, of coarse you can get on the waiting list and you may see it in a year, or 2, or 3????? How about headers?....ATR makes a nice set.....to bad they went bankrupted a few months ago, TA is making them now, get on the list, maybe in a year, or 2, or 3......

So you think I should build a car......The only problem is I like a challenge and a LS1/2 looks like they would be easy to make fast.. ;) ....But who knows, you might have your wish next year...... :devil

I love this racing in Dec..Now all we need is a few Honduh guys.. :nutkick :whip

[Crawlin]

yeah, we are FINALLY getting into a good portion of aftermarket stuff. and ONE guy with unlimited resources running a number doesn't mean anything. that guy is so well off in regards to $ it's not even funny. so i don't count people like that.

i honestly have no clue about the GN market. so other than what Gino told me, i figure you have like 40 different turbo's you can crank up the boost with.

[GRNDNL]

i figure you have like 40 different turbo's you can crank up the boost with.

So, whats stopping you from putting any of those 40 turbos on a LS motor...... :goof

Whats really sad (good?) is all the new turbo tech is trickle down from the import market....A friend went from the P-trim 70 (old school) to a 70 GTQ and picked up 5 MPH with 5 PSI less boost with the same spool time....This new import stuff rocks..... :shades

[Crawlin]

BWAHAHA, what's stopping me is $ and time and what you like to call, "must have gutted a/c and heat and PS to make work"

[GRNDNL]

BWAHAHA, what's stopping me is $ and time and what you like to call, "must have gutted a/c and heat and PS to make work"



No kidding..... :rolf :rolf :rolf

If I had the means this is what would be sitting in my garage.....

There isn't anything wrong with 6 cylinders...























that another couple of cylinders can't fix... :thumbsup

[UnderPSI]

BWAHAHA, what's stopping me is $ and time and what you like to call, "must have gutted a/c and heat and PS to make work"

Not with HI Flow's new setup. You can even use a 4" down pipe with the factory K member

You need to be the first in the state to get one. :thumbsup

[Crawlin]

Naaah, i dont like some of the positioning of that system. that and while it being a very good deal, I think the custom plumbing of where i want it since I don't need all that stuff, would be alot more cost effective. although their headers are pretty pimp

[ChevelleBabe88]

And look who shows up!......Get off the dam interweb and finish ONE of your cars will ya....... :chair:

LOL :rolf it'll happen eventually....
