LT1's

[TraNs_aM]

why doesn't anyone like LT1's?

[Firefighter Z]

Oh shiat, Look what your about to start. :wow :alcoholic

No but really, some people say that they dont like em cause of the placement of where the opti is, others just don't like em cause they some what have no top end like the LS1 has....
Its basically a taste thing, I for myself like both engines.
But if you wanna beat a stock LS1 you better save a few pennies to out run it cause if I'm right they can pull really good in 3rd gear.

[SloFarmTruck]

why doesn't anyone like LT1's?

Cause they lose to 100,000 mile stock 5.0's and they smell funny!!
It's more a matter of opinion. The LS1's are just a better engine. Higher revs, more power. Different valve angle. 23 degree on the LT1 and 15 degrees on the LS1. They breathe better, They rev faster gosh darnit The LS1 just plain kicks a$$.

just my 2 cents thoug. :)

[SlowStee]

I think the better question is...



Where are all the NA H/C LT1 guys? :confused

[Al]

why doesn't anyone like LT1's?

I don't know. I just think it is fun to pick on the LT1 guys. :goof

I cant tell it from the LS1 other than the different intake manifolds.

Because a stock 4x4 1991 4 door 4.3L TBI automatic blazer with a clogged cat, is faster than a lt1 6speed. http://www.s-seriesforum.com/forum/images/smilies/kekekegay.gif

[turbogarrett]

Their iron blocks are too heavy for us swap guys who like to turn.

[T-Bag]

Because their v6 sister can nearly knock them off with less money spent. :D

[jbiscuit]

the LS1 has VTEC. :thumbsup :goof

[Prince Valiant]

stock for stock, the LS1 has far more potential without getting into the heads....but imo, once headwork starts to play a role, the differences become less pronounced, but still in favor of the LS series engines.

The LT's can be made to be scary fast...it's just that if you've got "bolt-on" skills at best, most LS guys will eat your lunch.

I love listening to some of you idiots talk about LT1's....yeah they are so slow :rolleyes: . The main advantage is in the heads. The money saved on LS1 can easily get you some badass heads. But a LS1 can do heads later also and still comeout on top. Once you start stroking them and supercharging things start to even out, and the iron block actually helps. Funny how a couple of yrs ago when I used to take my H/C lt1 out, I didnt have a problem with LS1's. But now LT1's are all 15 sec cars and every LS1 runs low 12's with a lid and catback and can handle 1000fwhp!!!!!Sure they can, and be a reliable daily driver LMAO and with bolt ons right? Except the piston crowns let go at much lower power levels which usually ruins your day.
Some of you guys talk all that **** about LT1's, when in reality when they were released way back in 93, 12 yrs ago. Not much could hang with them. 5.0 LMAO, L98 no way, 4.6 nope, with 320hp in a cobra nope. But once again they are slow. Now GTPS walk them, along with the dsms, and anything else on this board. WTF get real.

WTF get real.

Let me start off by saying this isn't a ***** session towards you...

See, the problem is no one's seen your car run lately. No one has seen **** from an LT1 car in the past two years around here. But, pretty much every LS1 car that is decently modded is 11's. Jeff's, Tom's, Mine, Tim's was LOW 11's, Williams is close enough. Paul's was 10's, there's a LOW 10 sec ride storming around. The only LT1's we keep hearing about are the ones that keep having problems. And MAYBE it's just because no one around here really wants to BUILD an LT1. There is this guy with the 396 coming out of the woodwork no one knows so maybe that's a good thing. And honestly, I don't look at the heads being the biggest advantage, while it does help a ton, i look at the ignition system being the best advantage. Something that doesn't require a $1000 swap in parts to get it to the level of an individual coil pack LS1 car. For a DECENT built engine, the LT1 is not that much less than my LS1, so i'll stick with the LS1. Look at Rick's LT1 car flying with that big turbo. Chris' LT1 car that's for sale now that was the first into the 8's. I'm not questioning OTHER's and the LT1 engine in general. It's just a fun ribbing of those that are running them now. 11.40's on a daily driven C5 that's only a head/cam car. I don't see any other LT1 cars coming CLOSE to that daily driven capable. The fastest LT1 locally that i've seen so I know I can believe it is still Brandon's cam only Z way back a few years ago. Since then, nothing else has really gotten down. PROVE US WRONG

It's just like the 5.0 mustang guys giving us ****. we know for the most part, most of the guys are just ripping on us a bit. but we know it's all in fun. if an LT1 guy is at the track and needs help, i'm going to do whatever i can to help to make sure that person runs a new best.

[HP ADDICT]

I know it isn't. But come on man I haven't been on this board very long, and since I first joined all I have seen is people talking **** about LT1's. I don't even really give a ****, its the old motor. What pisses me off are the jackass' who talk **** and they have a slow car. I mean if you have a 11 sec car talk **** and its cool to me. If you have a 14 or 13 sec car don't say **** about LT1's in general because thats where they are stock(yes they really are), and half the people that I hear saying how slow they are have 13 sec cars. With alot of $$ in them. I realize there are alot of fast LS1 cars out there are alot of fast LT1s also. They are no longer as popular just like the L98, how many fast L98s do you see anymore. You may not have seen me because I got away from the HWY about 2yrs ago due to the increase in cops and kids being stupid. I only live like 10 blocks away from it.

I will hopefully have my car out this yr. I had everything needed ordered in Feb but APE raped me, I got that straightened out though. Hopefully I can get my car out before the KOTH. I am in no way talking **** about my car, its not even done so that would be stupid. It is just annoying to see **** constantly on here about LT1's.

It would be hard to prove you wrong as I haven't been part of the local race scene in awhile. RKrause and some others on CZ28.com are running awesome times with street driven cars. 10.02 at 144mph for RKrause. They are supercharged but still LT1. A similar built LS1 isn't going to be any faster. I dont want this thread to be LS1 vs LT1. He asked why the LT1 sucked..probably because thats all he reads on here, which is completely false. Thats the only reason I responed the way I did.

Well I have a slow 5.0, I am running 14's, and I have beat 2 LT1's.
One was supercharged, which I beat on motor with a passenger in the car and the second was a bolt on lt1. LT1's are outdated compared to the LS1.
I'd put an LT1 in a Farm Truck...... wait a minute no I wouldn't I'd put a caddy motor in........HAHAHAHAHAHA

I was running only bolt-ons with KR on street tires...your win against me was a close win for you...you barely won and you were spraying a 100 shot of nitrous and On Drag Radials....


Dont say something you will regret :thumbsup

[Crawlin]

Don't worry, mine isn't even done yet and i still talk ****. well, i'm too lazy to have it be done. that should change tonight though.

There is always exceptions to the rules. You cited Rick(or is it rich?) car. But i can point out MightyMouse's car on ls1.com that is a 9.90's car, daily driven, and a 6speed to boot. Then there was Mike Brown's car that went 9.80's on a stock shortblock. Like I said, always exceptions to the rules. Hell Matt Harlan had a twin turbo LS1 car running identical numbers to the RKrause car. How about 9.60's on a stock shortblock with only a cam and spray and the other bolt ons. Not gonna see that on an LT1. But the list goes on and on both ways with awesome cars, but very limited numbers of people actually doing it. Plus the LS1 crowd has always been faster than the LT1 crowd to date AROUND HERE so that's where the **** talking usually starts :)

Hell I even had thoughts of my winter project USING an LT1 instead of my LS1 just because I know what they are capable of. But because bolt on for bolt on the LS1 has run quicker times. That's why you hear alot of the guys talking ****.

I really do hope that you get something tossed together for the KOTH. Who are you looking to for a built motor. Obviously HPE is a name to trust with how well Rick's setup has come together. Seems there are a number of people around that can still build a great motor.

Two cars and pulling at the 1000' mark is alot more than a "close win"

GET THAT KR FIXED!!!

That 100hp shot should make up for the blowby, stock gearing, shifting his own car, 48cubic inch less setup :) haha *see, all in fun*

and i doubt it actually does 100 hp. look at what happened with the Horsepower TV LS1 car, jetted for 80, the idiots only got 40rwhp our of it. 125 shot got them 80rwhp!!! hahaha

Think of how much HP he has with Nitrous and you with your bolt on setup. I am sure it's probably very close. He didn't have a big advantage on you like you make it seem. I don't put up with excuses. If I lose I take the loss, say nice race and I am sure I will run into you again. You both agreed to race. The finish line only matters. Do some more work and race him again someday. Until then Irish was the winnAr of that drag race no matter what the situation was.

[HP ADDICT]

Rich it is I am almost positive...very smart guy. He is running a F1 blower which shouldn't produce the numbers that a twin turbo setup does. Check with some of the guys running ptk kits and t-88's on lt1's to see some 1000hp cars. Anything is possible. There was that camaro on scandelous racing running 10's on a stock lt1 shortblock with like a 350 shot! But hey those arent around here. I like the LS1 only cam and spray 9.60s..Some people will build a nasty DP setup and spray it until it explodes. Yeah you may hit it with a huge dual stage run 9.60s and brag but it will blow up.

You beat a supercharged lt1 with a 14sec car huh? Well those damn superchargers actually slow down the old lt1 I guess....You also beat formula which is a bolt on auto lt1 with problems. Great job! Even better if you really did spray a 100shot to do it.. :wooo Also I just noticed I said 93. It was actually 92 when the lt1 was released.

[Prince Valiant]

In all fairness, the LT-1 certianly don't suck. Their very very very direct ancestor for which the LT-1's are certainly nearly identical to in many respects (the classic small block chevy) can be made to make phenominal amounts of power....and to this date, the fastest NA SBC still would make any LS motor cry for mercy in a heads up race.

Their opti-spark blows though...it would be nice to see an easily replaceable and ignition system come out and easily retrofitted to the LT's.

However, the LS's will still eat any LT's lunch, bolt-on for bolt-on, stock for stock...and yes, it's all in the heads in how they'll allow for superior air-flow, and how the combustion shape and quench will allow for increased compression tolerance. The rest of the ways the LS engines are superior are less pronounced individually, but they do add up in many little ways.

[USMARINE1108]

The LS1 vs LT1 battle will continue as long as people still mod their cars. Until then, here's my vote.

http://img81.echo.cx/img81/4018/ls1touchedbygod6zd.png (http://www.imageshack.us)

Stock for stock, there is no comparison. However in our local F+Y body club, the fastest on the track is an LT1.

[Kory 88Iroc lt1]

I hope to beat Brandon's old record by a few tenths by the end of the season. I keep chipping away at it every time at the track. The hot weather last week didn't help my cause though I was 3mph off my best run.
I understand the smack talking as well, I am just sick of hearing every ls1 owner thinking that their car is capable of numbers like Tom or Chris. They are running their mouths and some have never been to a track. If there is one thing I have learned in the last few years, It's that getting legit numbers that match what everyone and their brother is running on the internet isn't as easy as most people think. If it was my car would be a 9 second daily driver :D. I've spent so much time around people who have cars that should run a certain number, but never have, That I don't take much stock in talk without time slips. I don't belong to the it should and it could club. I belong to the It will and it does .. regularly. As of right now my car has run a best of 12.74 at 111 a week ago wednsday night. So If you have an Ls1 that has never seen a track shut your pie hole :D
Just my .02

I am a carb'd 302, you have fuel injection. I have junk heads. You at least have Vortec heads. I have 1.78 Intake valves. You have 1.94. I can keep going like this forever. You talk about Drag Radials. Their Nitto's, the worst drag radial there is. I am going to rebuild a STOCK bore 302 with STOCK rods, STOCK crank, with STOCK non GT-40 heads with a real mild cam. When this motor is done....before the end of summer I will race you on motor. Then you can't say.......yada,yada "he's got a 100 shot" yada yada. Or I can race you again with my smokin turbo diesel mustang. :D

Are you talking about you or the other guy. I am talking to you. The other guy will have to wait till next year. I could do a LT1 swap but I want to be fast so I chose the LS1. I am buying a bone stock LS1 off a buddy of mine. I will come after him when the LS1 swap is done. A guy I know has a carb'd small block windsor, low compression fox body mustang, that would prob. race the new guy.

There you go Formy, go race the supercharged Lt1.

No, it's because they are from Japan and learned secret racing tricks from the V-TEC gods.

The reason (like most people) I have Nitto's is because I got them used really cheap. That's why most people have them because they got them used from someone that bought a better Drag Radial!

actually, the nittos are the worst hooking out of all the DR's from my experience, but yes they do last the longest and the only ones available in a 17-18" size so that makes them the most purchased.

Let's see some pics of this LT1 car. I want to see how your cage is run. And is it a real anniversary edition white/orange striped car or just a general '97 SS that has the 30th anniversary seats and emblems or whatever. I always wanted a white/orange LT1 style SS drag car. So come on, post the pics or email them to me at Stage1GSX@aol.com

i'm always interested in meeting someone that's like me, a full out drag type person with their 4th gen! i wanna see some pics!

[396LT1SS]

The reason I love my LT1 is because of the amount of spray she can hold reliably. Oh 350 is the small shot thats why my na numbers are so low :mad:

[BAD LS1]

" LT1's Have to Bore Stroke And Spray their $hit to keep up with Low Compression stock bottom end LS1's."


yeah...to KEEP UP....more like to not blow after spraying a 350 shot :thumbsup


but wait..LS1's can handle it right...Like toms LS1?


BWAHAHAAH ok tough guy! :rolf do you not realize my engine had 40,000 miles and litterally has been pounded for just about every one of them? it saw a 7100 reviliter all last season w/o a problem... and now that i was working a big shot through it (250) at motor for the 31st race and it oh so commonly lost a piston crown on a stock piston(see signature)...

yeah it wont blow after a 350shot... that ONLYgets used once in a while... im a whack job though i enjoy using my bottle and emptied that 250 shot through it and half of the 2 qt methanol injection injection tank in the course of 6 hours and less than 10 sprayed runs on the 15 lb bottle

I emptied 15 lbs through the truck sat night... so what?? it wasnt doing anything stupid kr or afr wise....

Ill wait to start **** after my car is set. but formy you had several oppertunities against the truck to show me/us wat you got... i had 3 people, me, kyle (a b4c z), and a chick in the back that goes 110 lbs dripping wet... and a 35 lb bottle with ONLY 550 psi in it and no heater ... what does that mean? my 75 shot would be lucky to be making 40-50 hp.... That will be changed by this weekend though.

[Crawlin]

I'm still waiting for the 30th Anniversary car to answer if it's white/orange or just a regular color. That and i'm waiting for pics of the cage cause i'm having mine done soon and want to see how it's ran!!! Help me out man!

[MoreTorque]

Heh I love hearing my old car pop up from time to time.

It sure didnt take a lot of cash to make it run a decent number. Stall, hotcam, and exhaust... sure not a big list.
Heck, the tune/program was so messed up that it died at the starting line quite often and nailed the rev limited half the time :)

I think it died at the line before the 12.45 run too :goof

I really would have liked to see what it could have done with some good heads and a dyno tune.

Hopefully my new LS1 won't be slow for too long. :(

Does this mean I have something to prove to you? Ive raced many cars to see how mines running, and Im pretty sure its dead set at low 13's, but obviously It is still a 14 second car until I get to the track..:)...I could give a sh!t to race your truck tom :rolf


And anyways...40mph is the START of my 2nd gear......Not exactly the best place to start a race :)

Well you did start the call out thread :goof so that open invitation and the truck is the only thing i have close to offer...

Who said anything about starting at 40? i prefer 38 or less so i can get 1st gear if it HAS to be from a roll... I really prefer from a stop with the truck.

well go to the track then like pronto... or better still race a bone stock ls1 f body stick or auto from a stop once... that will prove or dismis the low 13 sec theory in short order.

And once again! THIS IS ALL IN FUN! LIGHTEN UP!!! :durr

[396LT1SS]

Yea, must have got rid of more that 500 lbs with that cage in there. What did you get rid of

Prostars with skinneys up front, no rear seats, no rear seat belt assemblys, no front sway bar, no front and rear bumper supports, light weight cowl hood, Aftermarket k member 80 lbs lighter then stock, aftermarket torque arm, panhard, drilled axles, egr delete, no smog, no cats, all of my exhaust is lighter then the stock components, my tranny is lighter then your 4l60e's and a few more misc. things. BTW the cage is chromeoly its not to heavy

[396LT1SS]

street trim of my fake car :rolleyes:

[SloFarmTruck]

1.) what aftermarket k-member? mine was only a 40lb drop using chromemoly.

2.) i'd be hard pressed to believe that the 4L60E is heavier than the TH400. But i've forgotten specifics.

PS - let's see pics of the cage like i said before. let's see pics of the car! i need some more pics to see how your cage is run. i need ideas!!!

sweet car 396! :thumbsup

never checked rossler's site. like i said i didn't remember how it weighed exactly.

and i never weighed my own k-member, i just took what has been weighed by a number of different other LS1 owners and went with that number.

believe me, read my posts, i'm not doubting you or the car, i just want to see mroe of it. are you now living around here? cause like i said, it'd be cool to have someone with a car like that running around. i need another fellow full out drag car guy, there's too many mustangs around here.

80#s lighter then stock on the k member? What is it plastic or somthing? Biggest drops I have heard there are 40#s and maybe 55 if you change out the a-arms etc. I still dont see anywhere close to saving 500 pounds, and the 500 is from a low 3400 pd weight car to get to 2900#s. I really dont want to call BS but I am having a hard time seeing a sub 3000# t-top lt1 car.(with a cage) and AC. Most aftermarket tq arms weight more then stock, seats and brackets in rear what 30#s max? I guess you could teach me some things.....Get that thing out. I want to see a NA street car running 9's around here. I know its possible but I have never seen it around here.

OK im going to give my facts on my cars weight for comparison here... something dont add up...

2001 SS 6 speed T Top car, no a/c compressor, condensor or lines. Speed inc lightweight carpet, Wolfe racecraft 6 pt blt in mild steel cage, front and rear crash beams removed, all heat shielding removed underneath, no front swaybar, moser 12 bolt w/ spool. Centerline convo pros at all 4 corners with M/T fronts and 28"x11.50 E/T drags on the rear, HAL stocker R shocks at all 4 corners, BMR tubular k member, BMR tubular subframes, SPOHN adj torque arm, no spare or jack Still has rear seats....

This with 1/2 tanks of gas (gas only 7lbs a gallon) weighed 3280 w/o me in it.

Break down of stuff i weighed on mine.

Stock 17x9 zr1 wheels and tires 45 lbs each
Convo pro front wheels and tires- 23 lbs each
Convo Pro rear wheels and tires- 33 lbs each

a/c loss 20 lbs
Rear seat, belts, ass doughnuts = 20 lbs
spare and jack 40 lbs

Wolfe mild steel cage- 85 lbs complete
bmr tubular k member 34 lbs (36 lbs shipweight)
stock k member 45 lbs
Stock 10 bolt rear w/o brakes 115 lbs
Moser 12 bolt w/ spool w/brakes 244 lbs

Front and rear crash beams 18 lbs each
Light weight carpeting 35 lbs
stock carpeting 56lbs

Stainless cat back exh system- 48 lbs

Stock Torque arm 15lbs
Spohn torque arm 34 lbs

You people can be the judge... its pretty hard to make one these cars weigh under 3,000 lbs ESPECIALLY considering an LT1 car is going to be heavier with its cast iron block. It takes just about a tin can car to weigh under 3,000 lbs technically....

Why is your mom trying to throw away your car? :goof j/k

Well, last year if you would have put a Mustang 5.0 with Intake/Exhaust/Chip against my LT1 with the same mods only, I would have walked all over it. Thats all I had last year and I was runnin over stangs all the time. Ask Brian, he knows. Mike gave me the best race I ever had against a modded or not stang, within our speed range of course. Maybe this salvaged vert right off the recycle line has some secrets.. I doubt it though.

Depends on what year 5.0. A 94-95 maybe. If you take a 89 LX 5.0 5-speed with a great driver with intake, header, exhaust vs an LT-1 with the same mods the 5.0 should win. A drag race from a stop that is. Not a speed range, lol

Opinions? Suggestions?Keep them to a simple roar please. And WHITETHUNDER, saw ya today, nice sounding car, i was in the red Z28, what kind of exhaust do you have, im thinking about going to borla or something.

He showed me a vid on his cell phone of him racing an LS1 with a 150 shot, and the LS1 dissapeared from the side view.

Aww why does this crap crawl out of the wood work after my motor took a dump :confused

At the time it was running.... i would have had a stock long blocked LS1 with a 100 shot he should have tried at the time... the new motor should be set by mid july, ($1200) short block not 11,000... and still just barely over stock cubes... but i cant gaurentee wit will only havea 100 shot on it then, since i doubled that and then some when it launched a piston crown.

That 84....was it modded? I know those HO motors were pretty laughable for their claimed 190 or so hp (give or take a few). I remember a guy in my autos class in school had a trans am with the HO and it's goofy dual intake tubes, 5 speed etc. That thing barely beat the ol' 3.1 v6 crap am, the many times we raced down the private drive before they put the speed bumps in. I don't think it would quite stand a chance against 5.0, unless it was a beat automatic.

that would be me. I like your car. I see you a lot but never heard it. What kind of exhaust is that you have?i like how it sounds.sounds clean. i have SLP Loudmouth and it sounds nice when i get on it but when i let off it back fires a bit. I dont like it. Im gonna go with something else. Dont know what yet do you have any other mods? Where do you live? we may have to cruise it up sometime. Rum them perhaps. :D

LS1 dissapeared? I was told by the guy that he has never had anyone hang/pull on him like that before. All 3 guys had big grins on their faces. Nice guys. Would have stayed and talked but we had to get off of highway at the time. I was shocked how close it was. It did sound very nice when it was in front of me at a light.

[SloFarmTruck]

most people go 383 because in an lt1, the price difference between the 355 and the 383 seems to be nonexistant, compared to an LS1 that at bare minimum it's a $1500 (crankshaft difference). look at what he wrote though....

$11,000 for that 396 :wow

My old fully built LS1 motor was ALOT less than that. Enough that you could buy the suspension pieces and a rear end! But of course you could go HIGHER with either motor.

To go fast cheap, the LS1 will be ahead of the game at the beginning of the modding process. But once you get up into that territory that i had been, that Tom is going, that this 396 guy is, you are going to be spending alot of money either way. You can set yourself a goal and it's gonna take pretty close to the same amount of $ to get there between the two motors. Depending on what parts were used, $11,000 into an LT1 is ALOT of money.

Come on, you know better than that.... at the time of the race it's always nice and friendly. But when they get back to their friends, they figure they'll never hear from you again and embelish the story a little bit :rolleyes: Especially after dropping $18g's on the setup and have a stock LS1 with exhaust and a nitrous kit putting out probably 100 ACTUAL RWHP keep up.

The passenger was getting a side shot with the phone, and I was watching it on a small screen. Was the LS1 right by his rear quarter?

I don't have any pics of the car, everything was factory besides the SLP tailpipes. Cowl hood, ZR1 look alikes(what's the proper name for them?), I think the shifter was a hurst.

What speed did you guys start to go? When I saw him last week, a friend of his said he has "homemade slicks", so it couldn't have been to low.

Oh, I'm pretty sure 11 included the labor.

[Crawlin]

i heard 18g's total ;)

but that's not the point.

cool to see another built up f-body. i'll try him with my lowly 390rwhp cam only LS1 car! might have to spot me out some :)

[UnderPSI]

You wish you had 390hp. I told you to keep the old motor. :chair: The car still sounds good with your old exhaust.

[Crawlin]

A man can dream can't he? atleast it doesn't idle as rough as it once did. i can keep low profile now.

[UnderPSI]

Yea, it does idle alot better, but it is still really loud with the dumps. I mean cat back.

[Firefighter Z]

SCOTTYB14...that would be me. I like your car. I see you a lot but never heard it. What kind of exhaust is that you have?i like how it sounds.sounds clean. i have SLP Loudmouth and it sounds nice when i get on it but when i let off it back fires a bit. I dont like it. Im gonna go with something else. Dont know what yet do you have any other mods? Where do you live? we may have to cruise it up sometime. Rum them perhaps.

The exhaust setup I have is Hooker LT Headers, Hooker ORYP and SLP Loudmouth... Some say it sounds like a garbage truck some say it sounds badazz.... Mine back fires alot since im running no cat so I have to re-tune it again.
I have quite a few mods you just have to check out my car domain site cause i dont feel like going through the list. So heres my site~~~>WHITE THUNDERS CAR PICS (http://www.cardomain.com/id/arcticwhitez28)
I live in South Milwaukee right by Rawson Ave with in walking distance of the PIG.
Yeah we could cruise sometime and hopefully my engine will last this summer before it goes under the knife to something a little bit better.

That 84....was it modded? I know those HO motors were pretty laughable for their claimed 190 or so hp (give or take a few). I remember a guy in my autos class in school had a trans am with the HO and it's goofy dual intake tubes, 5 speed etc. That thing barely beat the ol' 3.1 v6 crap am, the many times we raced down the private drive before they put the speed bumps in. I don't think it would quite stand a chance against 5.0, unless it was a beat automatic.

Tyler? I been talking to you this whole time? With beef and all?? Hahahahahah, thats funny. Where's the Talon? Got somethin new? A$$, did you know it was me? Mike and Brians guy with the Vert Z? Anyways, that 5.0 wasn't too moded, flowmaster and chip. Ask Brian, he went for a ride in it, no V6 would have kept up in that car. Your buddy wasn't doin somethin right.

haha, dude I knew it was your since last summer. You didn't know this was me? I never talk with beef, I just love givin shiyat :D I'm not sayin you are bullshitting by any means, i'm just sayin my experiences with the H.O motor.

I got rid of the talon a in december, got my white mustang, sold it and got a bike. You would know this stuff if you were ever out :thumbsup Where have you been? I suppose working third shift kinda limits your night fun.

[GHOSST]

You bet ya, only get to be out on Wed/Thur nights... and thats if I'm not out and about at the club or somethin. Bike???? What made you go there? I'm thinking of getting one next year...

All my friends have bikes, it's nice to go out riding with people you know. I think it's a lot more fun than having a quick car, although it is completely different. More of a thrill to me personally.

Michaels built a 396 LT1. AFR heads(they owner didn't know the ccs), SLP loudmouth; I didn't ask what the specs were on the cam, Spec 3, stock rear for now, 5xx hp. 11 something was put into the motor. He showed me a vid on his cell phone of him racing an LS1 with a 150 shot, and the LS1 dissapeared from the side view. He also had a bunch of suspension mods, except for subframe connectors and relocation brackets; I explained to him what the relocation brackets do.

Well I ran this red SS again last night a few times from a roll. It was just him in the car last night. It was me and the gf in my car. She was trying to study for her final today.. Anyway, each time I clearly was ahead of his car. He didn't seem to remember me from when we got on it a little bit the other week. Maybe it was the new wheels :confused He seemed very anxious to ask what I had done to my car. This time I didn't have my drag radials on either.

:rolf Yea right! She isn't into cars that much. When we are around a group of F-Bodies she does say LT-1's are slow and LS1's are fast ;) She can tell the difference of years of TA's by the tail lights.
