Ohhh, I forgot about the best guy! While at the gas station going home some guys want to race the yellow cobra! He claimed he had a '90 Saleen at home that would whoop the Cobra! He didn't even want to know what mods the Cobra had done, he knew his Saleen could beat it! He wanted us to wait for him while he went and got it! Heh, little did he know I have a Top Fuel drag car in my garage (yeah, I had to extend the garage to make it fit!). I love gas station racers! Fastest Camaro I saw that night was a red one with ET streets and black stripes on the sides to make it look like a Ferrari. I saw it run 11.6@123.5, I wonder what engine mods it had and how much spray! Saddest stang I saw was a new GT with a blower running 14.4@100, I wonder what his problem was? About the turbo GT, why didn't it run? Too many people around to see his ET/MPH? :) I saw it heating up the tires on its way to the pits, it sounded healthy! As he was leaving, I didn't get a clear veiw, but it looked like it kicked out the ramps while getting on the trailor and slammed its frame on the back of the trailor! ouch!

The red 97 is Dave Mills car. It has a Lingenfelter 383, it's totally smog legal all the way down to the cats and he runs a custom built NOS plate system jetted for 150 horsepower. Regardless of what mods he has on the car he still whipped 95% of everyone else right??? And that car weighs a ton seeing as how it's a drop top and all.... I personally agree with you that for the money paid for the motor that it doesn't run nearly what it should..... He belted out 530 RWHP on a dyno and 550 RWTQ and I only would have believed it if I was there. I was....

Oh and the 10 second camaro that you spoke about is Jeff Stevens "Green Monster" that wasn't there because he's waiting on new injectors. And he does own a 10 second timeslip. 10.87@132 to be more accurate.... And it was at Sacto, in 92 degree weather.

No, I wasn't talking about the maroon LX. I didn't know it was all motor though, I just saw it make one pass in the 11's. Is it a 302?The blue turbo GT is the one that looked like it kicked out the ramps as it was going up the trailor. About the 14 second Saleen S351.... thats Chris, we all caravaned up there together... I'm not sure if it was his 1st time or not, but you're right, he's not the best T56 driver based on what I saw. I think his best pass of the night was a 13.3@117. Going from memory- that car has made 440 RWHP at around 5000ish RPM (Fuel delivery problems) Marshall Mathers, I mean Veteklr, I mean OutlawZ....the 10 second Camaro this guy was talking about was a LS1. I think I know that 10 second green camaro you're talking about, very fast car. Isn't this his 3rd motor? I remember him running 11's last year ( I believe on a different motor) What does he have under the hood now? Oh yeah, I think the red 97 beat everything non trailored that night (he drove the car there right?) In fact "Youl Luz" was the only car to break 120 mph that night until that red 97 pulled up! Nitrous motors are good for being drivable on the street and a terror on the track, they don't have all the drivability and mechanical issues high horsepower boosted car have.

There was a dark blue 90 LX that ran a 12.05 @ 121.84, in case you missed it, that was driven to and from the track.

90GT- What did that LX have done to it? Maybe you can ask him to post his mods here. I love LX's, they go so un-noticed. I swear my car never gets a second look now that I don't run noisemasters, I mean flowmasters!

I messed up it's a 91 LX, but it is a 306 with Edelbrock heads, downs intake, and an s-trim (11-12 lbs).

AFAIK, there is no 10 second LS1 cars in the norcal area. There are two that are VERY close, one is a purple camaro and the other is a silver trans-am... Ones an MTI stroker with NOS and the other is a stock bottom end LS1 with ARE heads/cam and nitrous. The camaro has gone 125 or 126 and so has the trans-am so the real issue keeping them away from the 10's is either in launching or tuning. The only green LS1 camaro that I know of that was even close to running 10's (well not really as he is slower than I am) was this old guy with a cane that had a bone stock LS1 with headers and some other bolt ons and had a WAAAAAY sweet Pat Musi direct port nitrous system. The guy looks like he's 80 years old and I'm surprised he doesn't keel over and die during a high 11 second pass (best pass I saw or heard about was an 11.7x@119 or so)
But other than that the only VERIFIED 10 second 4th gen is LJ's green car. It's not his third motor unless you consider the motor it came with as the first. The motor was built by Blackstone (the first round of mods) It was a 351 (forget how that happened but I think it was a .010 over on the block) that used stock rods and a magged and polished stock LT1 crank with some low compression slugs (LT1's use 10.4:1 compression hyperutectics stock so more than 6psi of boost will destroy your engine) and he had some blackstone ported heads, big throttle body, and his Vortech supercharger was cranking 10 lbs of boost. His best pass before the "accident" was 11.28@128mph. He also kept twisting driveshaft yokes and doing random T56 damage before the big problem at the end of last season. Three rods decided they didn't want to ride any longer so they came apart and shot through the oil pan 3/4 downtrack. Oil and coolant went everywhere and when they took the heads off the car 4 pistons were turned 90 degrees in their respective cylinders! It was ugly. So now Blackstone redid the motor to a 383 from what I'm told and he's running forged everything, more boost (I'm told 12 or 14psi) and a Vortech aftercooler. He's also running long tubes and some kind of snazzy valvetrain that's never been tried before that Blackstone needed to order specially for the car. That's all I know. Best pass so far was 10.87@132. He had to do some minor work but now the car is running again and he apparently run it at Sacto very soon and feels a 10.50 or better will be garnered. I'm thinking he's right with a 132MPH trap speed!!!!! That's damn fast.
youl luz: Yeah you're right with 120+ trap speeds you're losing a whole lot of time out of the hole and then charging hard at the top end but by then the race will be over with a hard launching car that still comes on up top. I know you like keeping it a street car but why not run some small slicks like 26x10 ET Drags???? You can still call it a street car even if you run slicks. Or get some ET Streets for that matter. If you can crank off a 1.8 short which at your power level shouldn't be hard you could run an 11.60 or better. I crack low 1.6's to high 1.5's with a 4500RPM launch and I run 122 in the 1/4 so you're not that far off from my power levels.....

My car weighs 3450 with me in it so I wouldn't call it a stripper. It's a 1LE Camaro which means it has no A/C and manual door locks and windows. My car put out 442 horsepower to the wheels and 585 ft lbs of torque to the wheels. It probably weighs almost as much as a convertible Mustang cause I think F-bodies are slightly bigger (wider)... What does a vert stang weigh??? My car is fast cause of torque and the fat torque curve that an LT1 plus nitrous gives. I think the dyno sheet showed that at the wheels I made over 500 ft lbs from 2600-4700 RPM's. That is why it gets down and boogies. But as far as being lightweight, uhh, no. Maybe lighter than some camaro's but by no means is it 64 Nova territory or even LX Mustang territory...
