Ive been taking it easy on the car for the most part since the new engine rebuild. Its got a 11.3:1 static compression forged 355 cu in LT1. So i wanted to wait awhile until I had some time to actually get on it hard... but tonight I couldnt help it.. I just had to know if my money that was spent on heads/cam was worth it.. now ive done 4 other heads/cam combos but this is the first one that was matching heads/cam... and Im running 275/40/17 Nitto drag radials on the back..... so i was nearing my house... and You know that feeling where you cant take it anymore.. and you just have to give it alittle gas to go... well I was cruising about 25mph and I gave 1st gear full throttle... and Ive come to the conclusion that 1st gear full throttle is useless unless I get sticker/wider tires than the 275's. I got on it for about 1 second and the car kicked the rearend way out to the left. Im not sure if i could have maintained control of the car if i wouldnt have let off the gas. Im sure the car is pretty close to 500hp at the crank. Dont have time to put it on a dyno for the next month in a half or so... So guess we'll have to see then....

 

Dang 'ol LT1's

 

bout fucking time leon.

 

Damn.. I didnt know you were still around!

Nice too see the good results.

 

Thanks Richard...
Yeah I know Kenny...
And yeah Carl Im still around... just havent had time to do much car stuff in the last 2 years really... Full time work and Full time school and making some money on the side with rentals takes up all my time... So Putting this last motor in was a very long and drawn out process

 

yeah LE2 cars put down 390-400rwhp consistantly so I wouldn't doubt 500+ crank hp with higher compression

 

I think you will fair alright if you put on some new nittos/MT's! The ones on there are at least 2 years old!

 

Well those set of KDW 's are going on there next to see if they'll be somewhat ok... If not i'll move the KDW 's to the front and get something sticker again for the back.... Corey... the chicken was good... I dont think it was 10 lbs though... I want my 2 more lbs!

 

Even those KDWs are old. You bought those 2 years ago. Get some freshies!

No, that wasnt 10 lbs. Maybe 5. I've still got a ton in my freezer tho

 

Corey... tires that sit are not like milk... they dont expire quite like that... and Im almost out of my chicken bieatch...
