NIIIIIIIIIIIICE!

 

Ha I was excited about it, but I have no idea the transmision, actual mods,drivers ability, or vehicle condition.
But a wins a win

 

good kill on the lt1.

what are you mods?

 

I don't know if it's just that I'm used to it, or what. But, it doesn't feel like I have a whole lot of topend. Down low is where it's at with these cars. And you're close on where we hit peak torque. It's actually 2500rpm. It sure makes launching a b*tch though. Oh well. After I get paid either today or tomorrow, I'll have some Nitto DR's on their way to my door to help me out a little.

 

K&N, GM Stage 2:42lb injectors, 3.06 pulley(Stock is 3.35), belt and reflash with a 7K redline, also swaped out the 3.06 pulley for a 2.90,catback.

 

The 2.73s definitely help. But the LT1 was known for it's vicious bottom end...

Not a lot of power but all of hit was available with very low rpms..

 

This is very true Mr Rogers, peak torque at 2k.

 

Did you happen to read tspence's post literally like three above this?
He actually has an LT1 and actually has a lot of information about it.

 

Negative, I missed Tspences until just now..... 2500rpm=peak torque, lots of low end compared to top end, nittos on the way, etc.[:@]

When we speak of top end, are we talking trap speeds or how hard a car pulls past the 1/4 mile?

 

I'm talking like how hard it's pulling once I get into upper 4th and so on. So, that'd be after the 1/4 mile basically. To me, it doesn't feel like it pulls hard past that point. But, I've always been a little scared to take it past 120-125 anyways. I don't really want to get caught. The only times I've really taken it that high is when racing anyways. I've never really tried a top speed run or anything.
