first post & Good kill

I've had my car for about four months now. I finally filled the bottle yesterday because my buddy has been wanting to race me.

His Car:
1995 T/A LT1 six speed
Mods:
edelbrock headers, slp exhaust, powerdyne supercharger w/ 10lbs boost.

He ran a 13.9 w/ a 4.5lb pulley.

I pulled of the line good and started spraying, pulled a hard three or four length he started evening out but I still had a little more than three lengths at the finish line. oh ya my bottle didn't have but 600psi of pressure.

He's not much of a driver. Another guy ran it the same night and got a 13.40 spinning pretty bad

Nice voctory but there is somethign wrong with that car. If he is running 10lbs of boost in an LT1 he should be running nothing less than 11's and possibly 10's. Chances are something is up with the motor. Stock LT1's do not like boost if they aren't prepped for it.

That car is ****ed up BAD LT1s runs 13.9 bone stock. My friend has a Supercharged 93 Z28 And ran 12.2 on a powerdyne. He now has a ATI Procharger putting out more boost and should be well into the 11's.

I've seen an LS1 dial a 14.7 on full slicks before. Even at my altitude that's terrible.

I dont see 10's out of an LT1 with headers and 10psi, especially a gearbox car.

You are right. I was a bit over zealous with my post. I exagerated that a bit but I wouldn't say it is impossible. I agree, it is most likely a long shot but there are similar combos out there running near those times. The point is that there is something wrong with that car.

I can't remember his mph but everyone said it should have run at least a low 13 with his speed.

his launches really sucked he was afraid of breaking really lose so he dogged it and it fell on its nose everytime. his best 60 ft. was terrible nothing better than 2.5's. I think that is probably the main reason it ran so ****ty.
