And my opinion is that your car is slow

frankiess

Texas speed's camaro is a HEAD and CAM car and runs mid 9s.

08inBama

H/C Ls1s aren't capable of 12s, they are capable of 11s...

and I tell you what, we have a CAM ONLY(with bolt-ons of course) Ls1 in my family that any tune/bolt-on LNF is more than welcome to come run, and my brother won't spray it either to make it fair... and this is coming from a full bolt-on 23psi LNF owner... that thing rips me from whatever race i want



just a Lid, 3" catback, headers, a TR 230/230 cam, LS6 intake, a tune, and drag radials.... now it does have a stall and a built 4l60e(built to hold about 800whp), so any races from a dig will result in his 1.7 60' and you getting bus lengths put on you... but even from a 40, you're not going to win.... ask me how I know...and when i say lose its not like, "damn, I almost had him"... nope its "sit the **** down son, you just got owned"... and if you thinks it fast all motor, you should see it when its jetted 150... what makes it even worse is the auto, though hell from a dig with a stall, are NOT as strong as a t-56 car from a roll... yet I still have nothing for his A4, if it were a cammed T-56, it'd be even WORSE from a roll... now from a dig, I believe i'd put the TA on some Ecstas, the Cobalt on a slick and STILL take the race, lol

as far as Ls1s not being "fast" I welcome anyone here to get into a mod war with one, lol... let me know how that works out for you

i see firehawk hood.. Very nice

Even though this was said in sarcasm, I am still convinced you just repeat words you have heard in a random pattern.

08inBama

nope, Raptor, its has a higher scoop



that this is OEM style, direct fit, OEM hinges, etc... like a $1300 hood because it has the functional air box and rear ducts like the OEM Ws6 hood... you can get a fiberglass knock off for like $600, but that is a genuine piece... they 1st sent him a WS6 hood, then they had a back order of parts, it took almost 3 months for him to get it, though at the time his car was in the body shop anyway so he didn't really care...

and of course my fav. part, the tag:



I Ate A GT, and he isn't joking, nope not even your Coyote is safe, in fact one guy once waited on us to walk out of a Sam's Club just to tell us "lets see you eat this GT" in a brand new 5.0... as soon as the TA was started and the loping began, well, enough of that, lol

frankiess

I was just getting ready to change that. I showed my bf the ta and he said the same thing haha.. We are going to look at a 99 t/a this weekend for 3200. It needs some work, but he will track ***** it anyways so its nothing he cant deal with.

Another friend of ours just built a 6.0 with 230 or 240 cam i cant remember what he said, TSP 2.5 ls6 heads, edlebrock intake with elbow and a direct port nitrous kit, built 4l60e, 3600 stall.

overboostedss

I know his car was older then that. He told me it was an ls1 swap

frankiess

T-rex cam, 243s, and professional products intake with bolt-ons went low 11s at 120+.. Was never able to use the spray due to bad selnoids

08inBama

my next car will be a LSx, either a C6 'vert, a LS3 Camaro, or a then new Chevy Caprice SS(if they do in fact launch it)

SSSnoop

True dat. There must be something seriously off if that guy's getting raped with a charged LT1, especially if its supposedly running worse than that ta. I've seen a 95Z with an STS rear turbo tip into the 11's off the stock block and some very sane levels of boost - def below 15 psi.

Of course, I'm not accounting for the hand-of-God factor pushing some of these Cobalts.... Wish it would push my '09 sometimes!

SSSnoop

Damn! When I worked in philly about a decade ago, one of my coworkers had the exact same one. Sweet car.

To all of you I was there and his car sounded mean as hell, No BS he took'em off the line then my bud ran him down and passed him. He said he only had 3.42 gears if I heard him right he said it sucks till he gets his new gears. So quit hating guys do wait until you see the vid, then feel free to say whatever you like, he took him by about 2 cars so it was a gd race

08inBama

there is no way it was a h/c LS1, unless it has the absolute worst tune known to man or a **** ass driver... at WORST that is a 400whp LS1, at best its a 475whp car

and like I said, I know of a bolt-on/cam only LS1 that traps over 100 in the 1/8th and i don't have to search the internet for it... its about 13 miles from my house

I love my car for what it is, its not beating a 400+whp LS1... and for him to be on the stock tune? LOL

really, do the math on that, a bolt-on only LS1 is 350whp... that right there is going to put BUS LENGTHS on a stock tune Cobalt... you don't even need a damn cam, much less some heads


this site is hilarious some times

with me driving it, all motor.... and that was with a 200+lb passenger(R.I.P. Toby), the t-tops out, and the windows down on some **** ass tires spinning to 50...

Right man I kno it Looked like an older trans am like 97-98 I didnt hear there convo between them, so I'm not sure about the lt1/ls1 debat, maybe he had an ls1 head on the lt1, it sounded gd tho, I doubt he had full bolt-ons, but regaurdless I've seen him around town and the car rips, like i said if he had better rear gears that may have made the diff

Hey partner remember you have a s/c and it takes major power to get them goin, no offense bro

strazdice

I raced a ls1 camaro and beat him by a car, so bs aside he beat a trans am,

ford

No one is saying he didnt beat the T/A. We are saying he didnt beat a full heads/cam/intake bolt-on LS1.

08inBama

and i'm saying he wouldn't beat a well driven STOCK LS1 on the stock tune, much less a modded LS1

strazdice

right I doubt he had a full head, but cam, intake and exhaust ya and shitty rear gears

08inBama

shitty rear end gears? the 3.42s are the best option(well only option for the 6-speeds)... you lost me on that way back as well

2.73s were the shitty gears, which were on the '98-99 autos... and I doubt he had a cam or intake, probably an exhaust with no cats, lol

most people prefer to run the stock 3.42s for the 6-speed cars, especially if they plan on running DRs... with the 3.73s and 4.11s, they are great for the strip, but you better have some meaty tires... and they are the suck on the asphalt... if your car is near stock they are great but once you make over 400whp, you dont need that low of a gear... that is a great Mustang trick for trying to have an underpowered car be quick for 660ft... now if you are building a drag car, by all means go that low, through some true slicks on it, get you a bullet proof rear end and it'll rip... but for the guys building street cars, they don't go that route

in the auto LS1 cars everyone seems to run to the 3.23s especially with a stall... my brother had 3.73s on his car with the 3200 stall and actually ended up selling them and buying some 3.23s which is a "higher"(worse) gear than you are describing

now the 2.73s sucked, no denying that but unless he had a '98 or '99 automatic LS1, he didn't have that problem... my brother did and had to change his carrier out to be able to get rid of them

maybe they were thoughs idk but he said they sucked and had the gas to the floor and tried to put the shifter threw as well LOL but guyz you woulda been in pressed it was a great race, to be honest no offense (Matt) I thought you were gunna loose bro Lmao but nice run very nice, Ya the guy did doughnuts in the road to show off that he lost hahaha, and bro I'm not very cultured with the T/A field more chevy, but I kno they are similar, and oh ya he had 10 inchers on the back too
