Nice video on LSJuan at the shootout

One of the top Media guys in the DSM community took great video of my junk at the shootout. I know I'm working to get the car down the track, but this looks rediculous lol

 

 

This shows just how bad the car was fuel sloshing the first few passes-and you can hear me shut it down up top on the 10.3 run.

 

Its all learning-but I've got a lot of work to do to actually use the power the car is making.

Lots of hater comments on that youtube page. :(

 

I'd hate too! It should, and will trap in the mid 150's with the proper gearing, boost control, and traction-all of which I dont have right now lol

 

Not hating, but that is why Id have an auto in there.

 

When I retire, or want to go 8's, I'll consider an auto. Until then, I have way to much fun actually driving the car down the track. It will stay manual for a long, long time I bet. If the car works well with a new rear gear, I may chase the synco'd T56 record

I love how you just stay in it :lolguy:

ZERO brake lights :fuuuu:

 

Heck no- and tapping the brakes when your mid-geechie would make things substantially worse in most cases

 

How old were those tires? A stiff sidewall slick is a good choice for a stick car....it helps with that issue. One more thing.....fuck going auto.

 

Not 100% sure but I don't think they are stiff sidewall. I got them used-but will check.

 

And yup-Fuck Auto!! :p

Thanks guys!

 

 

 

855 SAE. 851 Uncorrected. (basically perfect air that day on the dyno)

 

 

 

4.10, stock Rx7. 1:1 4th, 0.7 5th, 6000rpm redline=THE SUCK

 

Why is it maxed at 6000 RPM? Are you just being safe or is that where the power drop off is?

100% bone stock motor=100% bone stock redline :mad:

 

Now that the heads are off-I will put some hardened pushrods and springs in her. I have a Cam i garbage picked ( no joke) , but my tuner thinks its too big for the motor, and I am a Jackass and sold the LS6 Cam I had, so its likely going to retain the stock Ls1 cam. It wont carry the power to 6500, but that should get me to a better shift RPM in 5th so the car hopefully wont completly call on its face when I bang 5th

Awesome work by the way - I truly respect your fabrication and driving skills. Rod bolts are a weakness in a stock LS1 too, from what I recall. A stock LS1 cam should pull to 6500 I would think.

 

Thanks. Yeah it seems like everyone trows ARP's in the truck motors off the bat- but the LS1 and LS6 gusy seem to have much longer life on stock rod bolts under 7k RPMs. I suspect that with a 6k redline stock, I should be good to 6500 for a least another season....time will tell

 

As far as the stock Ls1 Cam, its a down hill party after 6k, but I just hope the turbos make up enough of a difference. I really need the RPM to make the shift to 5th suck a little less.
