Re: lets see some vids of your lsx/ltx swaps....
I'm really not trying to be a jerk but re-check the vid and don't be afraid to pause it at about the 2.5 second mark where the speedo ( reading 37 mph) and tach (1,100 rpm) start climbing. My guess is he hit about 129 or 130 at around the 11.5 second mark. Given the amount of wheelspin that is evident for the entirety of 2nd gear, I don't see how it isn't possible. That's much nearer to 9 seconds of full throttle and tire smoke out of a 6 liter boosted by 11 lbs. Give my LS1 11 lbs and if it didn't explode I imagine it would 0 - 130 8 seconds or less. Remember, he wasn't starting at 0, neither was he hooked up.
I think this setup is different than the 5.3 that he originally put the whipple on in the green bird.

I dont have any idea how fast it topped out when I let off. The 120 speedo only goes so far then gets stuck around the 140 mark... not that I had any business going that fast. Dumb oin my part

Re: lets see some vids of your lsx/ltx swaps....
Guess I'll add mine to the bunch. Its not fast or anything. Just a B-body swap LT1 with bolt-ons.
Some Idle and Rev
6spd going through 1st to top of 3rd. I have a 93' T56 and it more widely spaced gears, 1st is 3.36:1 compared to a later T56 which has 2.66:1.
And the last time the car was at the drag strip as an automatic.

I live in the 13's, but aspire to live in the 11's. However when I finally reach the 11's everyone will have moved on to the 10's cause I took too long getting there.

Re: lets see some vids of your lsx/ltx swaps....
the trans is a 4l80e with a 1:1 3rd gear
the gear is a 3.55
he lets out at 4,800 rpm (speedo reads 130-140 or whatever)
im getting 104mph if he has zero converter slip and a 26" tire. converters have slip, though, so i would say hes doing around 95-100mph.

He let off the gas at 4800 rpm in third gear...simple algebra will show that the numbers dont add up.

Re: lets see some vids of your lsx/ltx swaps....
i wasnt trying to be a d**k or call anyone a liar or anything like that, i just didnt think the car was doing 145, thats all. i've been in fast cars before, and it just seemed strange to me.
but, back on topic.

Re: lets see some vids of your lsx/ltx swaps....
In the interest of getting things back on track This was the car's first day out when traction was non-existent. The transmission was struggling to hit 3rd gear before the rev-limiter at 7,100 rpm as you can hear just before the 8th mile. May take a little bit for the edit to complete before it's available.

Re: lets see some vids of your lsx/ltx swaps....
lol, that's part of the reason i'm putting a clutch type trans in the car.
here's another: go to 1:58 for an "attempt" at a second gear pull

I'm good man, ill set back and watch the aftermath, rods flying, rear ends hitting the ground, tranny slipping, bearings spinning on one axis, heads and block cracking, opti sparks degrading.

Not a particularly fast car, for sure not a pretty car, but a daily driver that gets racing shoes on weekends and takes out track champions.
