Last week was pretty nice out, so I decided to take the car to the track and see what it would do. I know I need stickier tires, but I think it did pretty well. The first run I just smashed the gas and it spun pretty bad and ran a 13.5 (lost to a mustang), second run against the same mustang, I got on the gas a little softer and ran a 12.8 ( beat the mustangs 13.2), and the last run it ran a 12.5 w/2.02 60ft @114.xx. What do you guys think it will run with suspension mods and stickier tires?

I am leaving to Japan for three years, so before I left I figured I would take the car to the track and see how it would do with some drag radials (nitto 555r). I had a friend let me borrow some MT et's, but they didn't fit so I made the passes on the 18" nittos. The only difference from the first video was the wheel and tire combo. How much lower do you think I can get with some 15's out back and some skinnies? My best pass was 11.62@117.8 with a 1.70 60, but I dont have a video of it. Here are some of the 11.67,11.68, and 11.75.

congrats on the numbers. must be a nice feeling to hit sub 13's AND beat a stang

 

315 drag radials and a stronger rear. You should be low 12's high 11's. Good numbers though!

 

really nice....Love the color

 

Your trap speed suggest you should be in the mid-high 11s. So, a better suspension and sticky tires as well as a lower hear will snag some nastier 60 foot times that will also translate to the lower ET.

 

Holy crap, the focus whooped the snot out of you, get some damn tires with some sidewall and ditch the 20 inch donk irocs while at the track!!! LOL

 

Now that's just wrong...!

And that's even MORE wrong!

 

Id be willing to bet he would trap at least 1 more MPH in the quarter by swapping to a lighter tire and wheels combo, LOL.

 

whats mods do you have on the LSx?

 

I know, but he is putting out around 500hp to the wheels with full slicks. And the wheels are 18" not 20". But seriously I just went to see what it would do just the way it was. I know with suspension and DR's I should be able to lower my et's. The mods to the car so far are a vrx4 cam, p&p tb, long tube headers, and a yank ss3600 with stock suspension. I plan on doing the suspension before getting stickier tires.

 

All you need is a set of drag radials and a good burnout. Mount up some on an old set of stockers.

Car looks great, love the color.

 

Seriously, wish he was closer to me, id let him try the M/T ET streets

 

you really need some ets on that!.

 

Won't let me watch!

 

update^^^

 

Nice runs! I ran a 13.9 with a cammed 6.0 LOL, it was running a stock tune, had no MAP sensor and shorted the O2. It still spun through the 1/8th though! Hey Zane I run to Conroe about every other weekend, we can try those tires on mine LOL

 

Where in japan are you going? I'm getting stationed in Misawa for 2 years...

Also, that's all you have done to the Ls1 and your running 11s?

 

Plenty of cam only LS1's in the 11's.
