My fav is of course... something like this... in case you didn't catch that... it's 9.75 @141...

what car is that?

A Skyline I believe.

I have 8L and have not broken into the 10's yet.

yeah, but you probably drive a truck. let's try to stick to cars k?

maybe someone can give us a breakdown of how much money was put into that thing:

1) 2000 formula (i'm assuming the 5.7L LS1)
2) swap in a 7.0L V8
3) stall converter, different final drive ratio, etc

lastly, i'm hoping that that 10.2 is at least NA, considering how much displacement they had to work with. if they needed a SC to get 10.2 out of 7.0L i will be very disgusted.

That's 10.2 street legal, probably with actual air conditioning, mufflers, etc. It's not some pansy @$$ 2.0L tin can with an engine if you're talking about how "efficient" imports are. I laugh at the people who claim imports are superior with their technology and such but I have yet to see one @ 3000+ lb race weight run 6s, 7s, or 8s, street legal or not. These fast imports that manage to break under 10's would be just another 12 second car with that much weight on it.

did i say anything about imports you jackass?

reason with me for a sec... do you think that it would have been possible and cheaper to get the original LS1 to run 10.2? how much boost (turbo) can a stock LS1 block handle, and how much power would it produce?

Evadman - 11s in a 5000lb brick is very respectable. diesel right?

No, V-10 dodge Ram 2500. I wish I had a diesel so I would get better than 7.5 MPG.

I assume you mean motor right? The stock head gasket would probably puke around 10-12 PSI or so. The compresion is just too high for a large amount of boost. If you lower the compression though, or rebild the motor, 10's would not be too bad to hit in a lighter vehicle.

Ooh you called me a jackass, very mature of you. I didn't even flame your sorry ass but now I guess I have to. Wait never mind I don't want to waste your precious time because apparently I'm a jackass so why bother.

Why not just cut the sh!t. There is no replacement for displacement.

A stock LS1 can push a 8 or 9 psi with hairdryers, with SCs they usually run 6psi. Lower compression pistons, stronger head gasket, boom, easily run 15psi.

Power? Usually around 550+ whp with some sort of forced induction. There was a guy running around dallas with a Turbo Z28. It produced around the neighborhood of 700+ whp. Too bad he wrecked it and sold the motor.

Any way you cut it, you're still going to get ungodly power for a V8.

Of course the LS1 engine can make the car run 10's. There are a few in the 9's. I don't understand why ppl say "o of course he can pull that with that kind of displacement" why does it matter? If a little riceburnin 2L with a big old TD05 runnin 26 pounds can pull 10's should I say "well he better have run it, look at the size of that friggin turbo". Any power adder gets a big O.K. in my book if it makes the car faster. Obviously you know very little about cars if you think just because the guy has a lot of displacment he can run X.XX time.

I don't wnat to dl the movie because I am on dial up, so I am guessing the guy said he swapped the engine (to what? i cant imagine any other engine i'd want in there other than say a self built big block), or are you just guessing?

P.S. It would be quite a feat to get the heads to hold much more than 10 psi, because they start with what? 10:1?

P.P.S. Evadman, way to go on the truck in the 11's. Gotta love those truck motors with all that torque, what are you trappin at with that frontal area?

P.P.S. Evadman, way to go on the truck in the 11's. Gotta love those truck motors with all that torque, what are you trappin at with that frontal area?

I will tell ya on the 22nd. I am going to RT.66 raceway. I will take lot's o' pics. My current best trap speed is 124. something. I have it written down somewhere. I am not a huge track guy, I am a 4 wheeling guy. ( 4 wheel launches rule )

I have to drive by a place with a truck scale tommorow, I will weigh in for fun

Yep AWD rocks, you dont happen to remeber your 60 time do you? Just curious what a N/A truck of that size with AWD can pull in the first 60. Are you running DR's, or big ol' truck tires for offroading?

Dont remember what my 60' time is I never bothered to write that one down. I will have some slips on the 22nd. And they are 33 x 12.50 r16's michilens currently, with TSL's going on soon. ( need 2 mroe )

Per a truck stop scale, my truck weighs 6550 lbs with me in it, including the big toolbox and tools I carry with me, but come out for the track. I would estimate their weight at at least 500 lbs. ( hilift jack, 2 regular jacks, full tool box, extraction tools, yada yada. )
