Raced a modded Z28!
I was out saturday night and it was beautiful to say the least, truck was running strong and air was cool! NICE.
So I headed to my buddies house to go cruise over to burboun street and this guy in a silver LS1 pulls up next to me. I new he had some work down cause my buddy has told me about this car before. He's supposed to be running a full exhaust, TRQ convert, shift kit, mass air, chip and that moroso air filter thing they make. I guess the kids like to go fast but doesn't like to work on his own car, so my buddy does the work on it.
Anyway I didn't know if he wanted a piece so I kinda did the Little L jump with a brake TRQ. He saw the *** end come about 2 inchs up in the air *** tha damn rear binded up. But he new I wanted a piece anyway.
So the light turned and I couldn't believe how well the Dunlops hooked up. I wasn't at WOT but I walked the LS1 from the start. It seemed like everytime that car shiftedit would loose even more ground on me, maybe he's got a bad TRQ or something. but I would definetly go back to stock with that. So by the time I got up to about 80MPH I shut it down because I couldn't even tell that it was a LS1 with the lights anymore. The only problem I did have was the little second gear tire spin I had. Trucks shifting awesome and with the belt real tight It's got sick power now. I LIKE IT ALLOT
.
This kids LS1 is supposed to be running in the high 12's now, so I guess that belt tensionoir, upper pulley and new program is really hauling now. I didn't have any juice on, that wouldn't have even been funny!
Later, just wanted to share that. I love this new pulley

Gotta respect the LS1's though when they are done right...
Bro has Air Lid, self-ported MAF, Ram Air Hood (not WS6 car), and 2800 stall converter...
his 60' times are mid - high 1.8's and runs 12.8-12.9
there is another guy, same mods, with heads and cam, higher stall running 12.0's at 115ish... and low 11's on the bottle...
Great job RT! Watch out for them funny sounding ones though!!

I know what you mean about the funny ones, There's allot of LS1's in my area that I would even try to race.
Last year I remember seeing this White LS1 with just a couple bolt ons and a big 200 shot juice and he had to running int he low 11's. He was racing this GN that runs mid to low 11's and he lost by about 1 car legnth to him, but he also gave the GN 3 spots and the bust. Fast a$$ LS1.
