Went to the track yesterday with my 1995 LT1 Camaro.... Occasional street duty. Nitrous pro flow plate system. 383 cubic inch LT1, AFR 227's, single plane, solid roller, shaft rockers, TH400 and a Moser 9"......

Had a match race with a 408 ci LQ9 iron block LS1 with an NX direct port system. He has ETP All pro heads, beck sheetmetal intake... seriously beautiful piece...... Unfortunately I lost the race but not for any lack of power. I had to save the car instead of trying to win 500 bucks....

We posted a 6.06 1/8 mile and I shut the car down at 800', got on the brakes hard and ran a 9.54@130 earlier in the night shaking the car down for the match race..... And the tune was very conservative on this pass. My tuner told me full bore and with less delay that the car is capable of 5.80's......

Made some timing adjustments and went out there for the grudge and then this happened....

39MB download on a very fast server.... and it's in HD as well.....

This is also with limiters on the car set to allow like 3" of travel...... car is MAKING some serious power..... going to look into some more adjustments and possibly a switch to a powerglide to avoid the antics on the line..... Thanks Nitrous Pro Flow and to Madman once again for the SYA bars..... It barely touched the header collectors, just a few dings, but did a nice job bending the madman rack which I think can be fixed... and the SYA bars were completely destroyed in the fray. I need to get the front wheels spun to make sure they aren't bent..... I lost 500 bucks but saved my 50,000 racecar.....

thanks guys... the guys on the starting line said the tires didn't rotate even once. They said by the time I was at the 60' mark it was vertical... 1.46 60' on the back tires... i think that's like a 1.36 if i was on the fronts... :D

If you don't mind what all do you have for suspension and what are your settings?


I also went with a longer torque arm to help take some of the hit off the tires. I'm sure I could make a couple adjustments and get my car to lift like that with the glide but I started with the LCA second from the bottom with five positions and the torque arm second from the top with 5 positions.

The right converter can help also ;) WHen I was talking to BTE they even mentioned I might want to go to a different transmission gear set to help ;)
