budget ls1 killer?
#21
Grabbemcome come on man. You know a budget E7 headed 302 has nothing for a LS1 unless it is bone stock. He wants low buck and it is just not going to happen. When I sold my LS1 it was going 11.5's at 116 on motor. You could duplicate my car with about $5000 in mods. It's not about the LS1 being god, it's just about admitting when you are out-gunned. Now my new Stang might have something for my old car, but I am going a different direction and drag racing will not be the main goal.
i was hoping my list would tell him you will need atleast that until you get into those nasty stroker ls1,2,and a plain old 6

but i thought the 351 was a bored and stroked 302? but basically same short block? your gunna have to bear with me, im kinda noob with technicalities. heh i was checking out AFR's for the 351 on summit and theyre about the same money. but im slowly learning everyones got their opinions about AFR and how its basically a love/hate relationship for them. haha

you can have all the power in the world but if u cant get it to the pavement then ur cars useless, get some 3.73's, boxed upper and lower control arms, a pinion snub, some drag radials like et streets or somethin as wide as u can fit, throw an airbag in the right hand spring if ur gonna be launchin hard and a nice set of drag launch springs, you want the *** end right on the ground and a set of lakewood 50/50's youll go like hell

No... actually it was a '91 GT... 5-spd with 65k miles... I shot the breeze with him afterwards. I was dead even with him up to 50mph, and then he pulled about a half car on me up to 70. Funny thing is, is that car had exhaust too... he didn't miss any shifts either.

MY car has beaten the ***** off many a LS1... I shut down a proven 12.2 second maro... by about 4-5 cars.
My only LS concern this year is my friends GTO... he's making about 430-450rwhp.... and thats without the nitrous
