Ok people here we go. Whatever your LS does in the 1/4 mile or 1/8 mile go ahead and post your times in here. If you can scan your timeslips then cool, if you cannot then just post all the times and mph on the slip.

Though your modlist may be currently contained in your signature please post your full list of performance mods when you post your times too. Also include whether your car is a V6 or V8; and also the year.

Some tech talk is fine, but please stay on topic.

[I am moderating this thread to get rid of all the 'nice one' or 'way to go' type comments so the thread is all info. Sorry if anyone is offended. MonsterMark]

Mods: SCT Xcal2 tuned via RWTD, Custom full intake fabbed by yours truly.

Was a hairs breadth away from hitting a 2.1 60' time on one run. However, it wasn't my best overall run.

www.myspace.com/dvarela

give it a sec to load. My best was 14.26 @ 99mph that day, but i liked to show the one with the pony. listen to it with volume up, slightly hear me chirp 3rd. juice going in 5/18/06 i'll put up a vid

Oh ok i gotcha, ill get the slips and post them if i can get to a scanner

Its an 05' LSE V8. As far as mods I got 1" Eibach drop, CAI K&N Tyfoon made for 03+ Thunderbird (chrome tube comming from throttle body w/ K&N filter and heat shield), 40 series Flowmaster Mufflers, and XCal. (wet ZEX 100 shot w/ WBC getting installed 5/23/06). My tuner is making me a file for this friday that raises the timing so i can run 103 octane race fuel. I will definatly post the video if it makes a difference. and I will post a video of when i run with the juice.

Little tip for you guys with the XCal2 (you might already know). Remove the plastic cover thats covering the engine. While in the staging lanes waiting, pop your hood open, Set your XCal like your about to change the tune, when it comes to the screen that says "click select to start tune" the fan should turn on.. leave it there with the fan on and the heat inside the car blasting at 90 degrees. do this for like 5-10 minutes so you dont kill your battery, then click "cancel tune". When your ready to get moving your temp guage should read alot colder. And leave the heat blasting right up until your next to line up then shut it off. It takes the heat from the engine and blasts it into the car, just turn the vents away from you so you die of heat exaustion.

Nice trick on the Xcal2 and all but unfortunately it will only help so much. If we had an electrical water pump to really move the water through the engine to cool it then it might make a worthwhile difference. Other than that the fans being on will only make a minor dent in the engine temp.

I run my electric fans and my intercooler pump in my X when I am trying to cool the Kenne Bell 2.2 a little bit. It helps a tad, but nowhere near what it would if the damn thing had the elec water pump to circulate the cooled water to the hot engine too. It would cool off in no time like that! :cool:

No im telling you it really works (unless for some odd reason my temp guage is off by a little, but i highly doubt it) when i have the fan on and heat blasing, hood open and plastic cover off, after a 1 1/2 hour drive to get there, after 10 minutes im less than 1/4 away from the cold mark on the needdle. And you can really tell when you touch the engine itself.... just watch for your battery

It is not going to help much because it can only cool the surface of the engine and the gallon or so of coolant in the radiator. After that it can do no more because no coolant can circulate to and through the engine to cool it further. If we had an electric water pump then this would be really beneficial, but since we do not it will only help marginally. I am not trying to discount your method, because it will help a little. If you look at your temp guage after about another minute or two once the thermostat has opened (if it has even closed) and the colder coolant has mixed with the hot stuff sitting in the engine then the guage will go back up a little due to it reading the average temp of the mixed coolant and not just the temp of the colder stuff.

On another note...Good run times. Since ya said you had a vid of the 14.2 run go ahead and throw that and the numbers from the timeslip for that run up in here for people to see too.

whats up guys, I dont know how many of you are on the LLSOC site but we have come under the impression that the 03+ Thunderbird K&N Typhoon CAI w/ heat sheild fits the 03+ LS perfectly. It comes with a 14hp Guarantee in writing in the box..i took it for a spin and its an amazing improvement (just for the fact its only an intake) I highly recomend it... you can get it the cheapest on www.crutchfield.com $239 no tax, no shipping. Bolts right in 30 min.

HEY!! This is a forum for 1/4 mile times ONLY take your intake talk somewhere else!!


That was intake tech talk, not just advertising. There is a difference. :D Being that you have one of the faster LS's on this site how about you share some of your knowledge instead of being a smartass all the time? ;)

Mainly, I want to know what the update on that wet nitrous install of yours is. I am right smack dab in the middle of a nitrous install in my LS too. Lets just say that the drivers side rear COP cover bolt can kiss my AZZ! hehe. :D What I am putting in is requiring a lot more wiring than a typical nitrous install though. But with our "one wheel wonder" rear ends the extra work that I am doing is pretty much a neccessity IMO.

Post the video and the timeslip times of that 14.2 run man. I want to take a looksee at that.

I wasn't "advertising" I was starting "intake tech talk", i just happen to throw in the price and where to get it for the members to benefit from it. My car is getting the N20 on as we speak, im not being a smartass just trying to add a little fun to these forums. As far as tech talk in haveing "one of the faster LS's here" as you put it... When i ran those times I had the same mods as everyone else who runs close to that... At the time I had the KKM CAI, 40 series flowmasters (just mufflers), I let my car cool down alot with that little "XCal fan trick and the heat blasting" before every run, and XCal set to the most aggresive setting it can handle without detonation. alot of people say leave it in auto to do a 1/4 run, but when im in D4 i get a crap time, D5 a little better, But when I shift it i let it go a little further than the 6500RPM and hit it just between 65 and 7000RPM. When staging it I wait until the very last second to touch the throttle and then let go at green (I seem to get a better launch rather then keeping it staged for 3 or 4 seconds waiting for the other guy to do his little burn out and line up). When i launch i do spin a little so to kind of prevent that i go around the water stage it and punch it so it does a burn out on dry ground. (about the 14.2 video, my friend has that i dont know how to put videos on the computer he does it for me, and he's been a little lazy past couple days)

With that much power you should be putting down a lower ET than that. With your mods you should be mid 14's. With a tune you should be putting down low 14's like VD and I are doing before nitrous. It is still good to see another new gen LS owner modding theirs with things other than big rims and stereo equipment.

Just to clarify, my 14.3 runs and VD's 14.2 run were without nitrous. With nitrous the runs would be more like 12.9's or so.

Ran at orlando speed world, only got one run because it was 10:03 at night and they close the pits at 10 :( i think i could definatly break into the 14's, i ran in d4 and was a little hesitant because it was my first time down a strip... also had half a tank of gas, no spare, and the bump was out. i prob will go back sunday so i will post better times. need to run w/ a 1/4 tank and get the aluminum intake tube and some nitrous :D.

Get the 60' time down to a 2.0 and you're lookin' at a mid 14 second slip. :Beer

Get the 60' time down to a 2.0 and you're lookin' at a mid 14 second slip. :Beer

With that trap a mid 2.1 should get him mid 14s. 2.2 60' will get him into the 14.8-14.9s.


I'm hoping to hit a 2.0 this year, that should give me 14.3s maybe a 14.2. I'm trapping 95 now and hoping to hit 97 with my Xcal2 now onboard.

I wasn't trying to get technical and sit here rounding off numbers.

I wasn't trying to get technical and sit here rounding off numbers.

Not trying to be a jerk, I agree with you. But having a near identically equiped car with over 50 passes (haven't ran with the Xcal2 yet but have it now) I can give educated guesses on the cars potential thats all.

His is the first 00-02 to trap like mine so I was just giving insight to what the potential should be comfirming his 14sec hopes. With that 60' I'd run the same 15.1 but with mid 2.1s which is common now mid 14s no problem providing you have the mph which he does. Most Gen1s trap 91-93 even with mods.

I want nothing more than to see some Gen1 LSes to run mid 14s.

yeah, i should be going back tomorrow or sunday, i think if i use my SST i can make more use of my rpms and lower that 60' time. i was just getting used to it that was my first (legal) drag experience. heres my drag slip and a little video.

Good stuff!

Man, am I gonna miss beating the hell outta my '87 at the track...lol

Whewwww went to the track again, will post time slips tomorrow, got 3 runs this time, one 15.3 idk why i messed up shifting, the others were both 14.8's i posted both of them. i am about to acquire a new intake tube for the ls and hopefully that will help. I used 02LSE technique of starting in d5 and quickly shifting over to SST on both 14.8's it helped greatly. thats all till next time! or tomorrow when i post the slips. lol.

Good Job! Told ya, 2.2s will get 14.8-14.9, even a 14.7 looks like. You will definately hit 14.5-14.6 when you hit a 2.1.

My track don't open for a few more weeks yet so you can beat my time...for now.

How do you launch it?

I think when i get the aluminum LSK intake tube it will help me out a bit, ive heard good things about it and i bet that stock baffle and plastic tube is really restrictive. I started out in D5 and after i got going i shifted over to SST just in time to shift to 2nd. It got me much better launches than just starting out in SST. i hit the rev limiter in 2nd both times tho. so i think i can do better if i get my shifts perfect.

Practice. Your car is capable of better times as it sits judging by what you've said and your times.

You have to move the shifter over to SST right after you foot hits the floor, it will shift into 2nd when you move it over otherwise. Also it takes about 500rpm 1-2 and 400 2-3 for the trans to actually shift after you command it.

Torrie corrected my SST, I can now use 1st like you should be able to. Contact him for a test tune and see if he can fix yours. One less thing to think about while preparing to launch.

I just emailed him, i think before he told me it wont work on my 00, but well see what he can do. Hopefully that would make things much nicer lol. I am just waiting on some spare $$ to get the tube and then head back to the track. Let me know when yours opens back up!

New best.

nice, i got the SST fix from torrie, its awesome! finally i can use 1st at will. It does work on 2000's for anyone who was wondering. As soon as i get the tune i will be hitting the track. Maybe some spray in the near future? :steering

^i ment tube not tune. :D

Looks like you are back having fun Jason... good run...

Got a new tune since Tuesday, feels very nice. Track was to slick to get the 60' needed to beat my best but the car is definately stronger. Even with poor 60's my times are as good as my best times before the tune. With the 60' I hit Last Tueday 2.123^^^^^ I would have had a 14.3 easily.

New best. Better traction today.

Nice.

i just recently ran 9.37 at 78.4 in the 1/8th with a 60 foot of 2.27. ... I just installed some nitto 555rs so i should be able to lower my 60 by a tenth or so. I also just bypassed my hydr fan with an electric fan and took off the hydr pump, sway bar, and now running a smaller belt(since i now have one less pump). So i hope soon to be in the 9.1's before i decided to go spray.

Went to the track tonight with a Fox body Stang friend of mine for sh*ts and giggles since I haven't been on a track since that fateful day last November when I blew up my '87 at Atlanta Dragway (:(). Hot and humid out tonight, which I hate racing in, but whatever. Was just nice getting back out there again.

10.442
71.04
13.391
15.854

After getting my slip, I realized that my dumb ass forgot to take off the traction control. :lol:

2.291
6.324
9.656
74.45
12.487
14.890
94.42

I need more seat time at the track in this car, because it's got a little more in it. That'll come in November when I trek down to ATL for the SSHS7 event. Plus, I need to go when it's cooler out. That KKM without a heat shield was blistering hot after my first run. Tonight might actually get me off my ass to build a shield for it finally.

Half tank of gas, 4030 pounds with me in it (about 185). Mods are in the signature.

Your car has allot left in it. You should be turning that time, or even a little faster, in stock form with your Gen 2 LS.

I'm very well aware of that. As I'm sure you're aware that hot and humid isn't ideal for racing ;)

i got a relly good time in the 1/8 ill have to dig for the slip theres no 1/4th near hear anymore but i have a weird setup on my car and i also have smaller size tires and no mufflers im pretty sure i got a 9.07 at like 80 mph i cant remeber very well.

Dunno. They don't have it on the slips. All they have are temp and absolute barometer. They were:

84 degrees, 28.87 AB
78 degrees, 29.05 AB

This is why I don't like racing when it's hot and humid, but I wanted to go just to get back out there. I'll go again when it's a little cooler out and hopefully have some sort of shield for that KKM. Like I mentioned, once that thing gets hot the car feels like it doesn't want to move.

Maybe I'll take a little more weight out next time too. And I'll have a little more experience too, considering the 5 runs I made that day were my first.

Why are you using 4th? I hit forth after I see the win light ...in either lane.

Yep. You can run 3rd gear through the traps. Heck, even when I was running 14.2's I wasn't shifting to 4th until juuuuuust getting into the traps. No reason a 14.6 ET LS will need to shift to 4th gear. Stay in 3rd and I am sure your ET's will improve. I ran my best times when I was commanding the shifts to happen right around 6,900-7,000 rpms.

Habit, I guess. So many years with a car with 4.10s'll do that to ya is all I can say. lol Always next time.

"1k launch"

Wouldn't you do better at 1,900?

"1k launch"

Wouldn't you do better at 1,900?

Nope. They seem to like to come off alot closer to idle. Everytime I stalled I turned crap 60's. And I've tried many a times...always turned crap.

I remember many years ago that the way you describe was the recommended way to come off. "Shocking the torque converter" by slamming the pedal to the floor from an idle. I had thought that the improvements since then would have negated this approach, but I am apparently incorrect, so I'll indeed try it once again. I come off smoothly from 1,900, but any higher and I bog. The higher the RPMs, the more pronounced the bog, and at about 2,500-2,600, of course, the motor cuts off with the brake pedal down.

I've heard it called "flashing" the converter. I actually don't take it right off idle, just little gas against the brake not hard. Just touching the gas will jump it up to 1200 or so and I go from there. So I don't know if I'd call it shocking or flashing, just not stalling really either.

I'll have to time it. I'm curious if this method would be quicker or leaving at higher RPMs, as long as there is no bog.

Back from Atco Raceway. Won't be going there again without a drag radial since you CANNOT get around the water box, and lightin' up the tires doesn't help get the water off as you can see by the short times. :mad: Still wound up with a better ET and a couple of 97mph passes.

Damn, you got a lot of runs in. Must of not have been a lot of people there? Congrats on getting into the mid 14's!!!!!

I could've had more, but I took a break between the 3rd and 4th runs to let the car cool completely down. Froze my ass off sitting in the car, lemme tell ya lol brentalan had to have had at least 10 runs, if not more. There were maybe 70 cars there, if that.

Thanks :) If I could get this car to 60, it'd be a low 14 second car. Frustrating. lol

Oh, and there's no way I can get through the traps in 3rd. I'm switching to fourth at about the 1000' mark or there about...and that's right about at 6500RPM.

:confused:

Here's the timeslip. Obviously on the right:

Yep, I did get roughly 10 runs in. Could you raise your shift point slightly with the XCAL to keep it in 3rd? It's so close to the end when you hit 4th.

Not sure. Something I'll have to ask when I go to order one.

When still N/A with CAI and SCT tune I pulled a 14.2 while shifting to make the transmission complete at about 6,900-7,000 rpm's. You just got to lean into it a little more with the SST.

Ahh, I guess the SCT is the ticket for that. 6500 and I'm bouncing off it like crazy. :(

I thought 6750 was the limiter. Anyways I have mine at 6900 and have hit 98 with the 3.31s a few times safely. I would guess 7k on the 3.58s. I estimate to hit the 1:1 shortly after the 1/8th now:shifty:.

I forgot to update this a while ago, new best time 14.587 @ 95.19 mph.

Did they change the rear gear ratio for the 06? Everything I have seen is the 06 is 3.58?

Has anyone taken a 06 to the track? I'd like to hit 14.5's with mine, but I dont know if it will be able to run 3rd to the finish line. The online calculators say 3rd is good for 92mph, and I would assume it runs ~ 95-96mph stock, so that would really be pushing it past 6500 rpm.

Your gears are 3.58's.

The 03-06 LS V8's are pretty much the same animal. You will be able to hit 14.5's with simple bolt-ons such as CAI and SCT tune.

When I was still running the 05 LS NA with a few bolt-ons I hit a best of 14.2 and was able to just barely hold 3rd gear till right through the traps. It revs high but nothing too bad for an engine that likes to breath. By the way, to hold it in 3rd through the traps you will of course need a custom tune so that your rev limiter can be raised high enough to allow it. Otherwise you will hit your limiter before the end and have to shift 4th gear.

Hit the 2.0 twice tonite for the 60'. Also a 6.0 for the 330'. And the 6.0 wasn't on either of the 2.0 passes.


Figured some things out tonite so the new bests will be coming.

Hey 02LSE...

We chatted a while back on the LVC chat about launching this car and other drag race techniques. I went up to New England Dragway on Halloween night and drove pretty good- improved on what I wanted to improve on. Being my second time ever racing the car, I’m pretty happy. I did the math and 13.7 is what this car should do with the 100 shot (and otherwise stock- only one NA race and I pulled 15.333 @ 94). I had lower bottle pressure since it was so cold out that night so I’m guessing I had 80-90 hp shot (and 100hp worth of fuel). I also think the nitrous turned off right before the line since it shuts off 200 rpm below redline (set at 6800) so I’ll have to bump those up a little if I plan on holding 3rd over the line (which I verified is faster to do). I was right lane for all runs. Here’s the results...

1st run, car had a lot of time to cool down. amusing enough was a nitrous pasaat next to me who ran a 15.89.
............left........right
R/T.... .189........-.188 (oops)
60' .... 2.819......2.162 (better than my 2.3's)
330.... 7.133......5.887
1/8.....10.546.....9.026
MPH....72.85......79.73
1000...13.434....11.650
1/4.....15.893....13.890
MPH....90.65......99.66 (huh? had 100.8 last time- nitrous off or low psi)

2nd run, a good amount of cool down time. Raced a viper with carbon fiber hood and god knows what else.
...........left.......right
R/T.... .175..... .085 (getting the hang of it)
60' ....2.332......2.106 (almost broke into 2.0!)
330....5.812......5.789 (wow- I'm ahead!)
1/8.....8.574......8.901 (damn, he got traction :P)
MPH....88.65......80.36
1000...10.924....11.517
1/4.....12.903....13.756 (new best time by .04s)
MPH....113.75....99.73 (slower than my best trap of 100.8)

3rd run, no cool down time and colder bottle. Knew my top end would be slow so I tried to nail my launch. This was a race against a pretty modded 93ish Camaro.
...........left........right
R/T.... .196..... .078 (better)
60' ....2.392......2.354 (oops, too aggressive- spun)
330....6.301......6.152 (wow- I'm ahead!)
1/8.....9.238......9.259(damn, he got traction too :P)
MPH....84.65......80.29 (same speed as last run so HP is there)
1000...11.742....11.892 (tried shifting to 4th in case nitrous was turning off in 3rd)
1/4.....13.862....14.171(nope, if it was, that was still slower. my fast run would have beat him)
MPH....106.55....98.16

4th and final run, never turned the car off from last run. This was a “try something different” run. The car seems to pull the hardest in 3rd so I’ll short shift 2nd. Bottle is cold to the touch now. This race was against a pro looking door slammer Chevelle or Camaro, I forget. In other words, I had no chance

...........left........right
R/T.... .279..... .005 (nailed it!!!)
60' ....1.765......2.230 (just a shade slow- gunshy after last run)
330....4.910......6.054 (slow- I spun. I think those are tailights up there)
1/8.....7.517......9.209
MPH....94.28......79.37
1000...9.781....11.861
1/4.....11.704....14.146 (same difference between 1000' as fast run)
MPH....117.20....97.91

Their trap speeds all look fast, either I’m making way more torque than HP, or I’m dieing off at 6800rpm. Still, I’m happy to hit a 13.75 with the slightly weaker nitrous shot. My summer run with the full shot, I got 13.79 and that was with 2 degrees advanced timing and race fuel, but weak nitrous controller setup. This time was 93 pump gas and stock timing, and better tuned nitrous but lower pressure bottle. The extra 30hp with the gen 2's VVT would be nice. Next year, bottle heater, fuel pump, and another 25hp shot on the way. Should hit 13.2 with that. I have a few other tricks to try as well. It would be nice to break into the 12s without losing the drivability.

Jeeze that Viper ran terribly. Looks like he spun pretty bad off the line according to the 60' time.

yeah, he ran crappy but it still felt nice to be within .8 with the lincoln.

Has any NA LS ran a 13 second 1/4 mile yet?

Has any NA LS ran a 13 second 1/4 mile yet?



Not that I am aware of. It seems that those of us who started to heavily mod the LS decided to just more or less jump straight to FI rather than worry about smaller NA boltons. In the long run it was cheaper for the gains.

I am sure that Jason's LS is capable of 13's once he lets me fully dial his tune in for him.

maybe with a different torque convertor one could. those v8s need a stick shift.

A higher stalled TC would help these cars allot. I tried to get Jason to put one in his car but I guess the power of my bad influence only works so well. :p Da*n Jason and his resilience to peer pressure. :D

i'd love to do it. this car is so picky on the launch and thats where you make most of your time. i hope i can do at least consistant 2.0XX 60 footers next year. will need limited slip and wider tires, preferably drag radials, to go more than that. not quite ready to do the rearend yet, as i can still add a little more power for not much more money. the rest will come after.

im not sure i would want to change the rearend gears though, any steeper and i would have to shift to 4th. i would have to get one hell of a gain to make it worth it and i'd still like to get decent gas milage when i'm not racing.

on a NA car what size stall would you go with? say 3500 4000? I think even with the bottle that would work

check it. this was done the other day on a load bearing mustang dyno. we do indoor dyno drags every year. finally ran my 5speed ls while testing ills tunes. launched at about 5000 rpms shifted at 6600. had my stock 17's with bfg drag radials on. pretty fun drag racing indoors. reaction sucked because our tree wasnt working so i had to watch the computer screen tree.

Looks like the 4.10's dont help too much because the tranny gearing is already optimized.

Looks like the 4.10's dont help too much because the tranny gearing is already optimized.

well, a tenth is a lot of time to cut off but look at the 60' You can get a 2.1 with stock gears so he probably did not have enough traction to give it everything. The increased torque for the remainder of the race alowed him the fast 14.2 run. What size tire are you running 02LSE...? Get more traction and those 4.10's will reward you with high 13's no problem.

I also tried launching in a parking lot the other day. once at 1100 and once at 2500. Both bog, but the 2500 gets into the power band sooner and pulls .85g's on my meter (vs.75g's @ 1100). im sure its not too acurate, but it does give a comparison. i will re-program the nitrous controller and try this next year since my tracks closed. its a fine line though, any higher than 2500 and they break loose.

I agree the 4:10s haven't taken the time off I would have expected. But there is a gain. While my bests don't look far apart, the average pass is faster. Car feels alot stronger too but timeslips say not so much. Traction is more of a challenge now but I can get out with full throttle and no spin with decent track prep, low tire pressure and a short burn out.

One other thing to consider is I haven't ran no where near the passes on the 4:10s as on stock gears.

And I am really surprized how much I had to change my launch technique. On stock gears the peddle had to be smoothly put down. The car now likes to have the gas slammed....traction is alot more crucial, but I have been able to deal with it.

Tires are stock Michilins that came on Sport models at 23psi.

what rpm did you stage at?

yeah the tires arent very wide so thats not helping. i think you'd want 20psi max. I had mine at 20psi when i got my 60' of 2.106 s. The lower the better.

23psi seems to put as much of the tire surface down as possible, never went lower.

I still only slightly brake rev it, 1000-1200. I did try a few passes with more and the take off was abrupt and 60' was poor. Every time I try more rpm I get crap results and go right back to the way I learned early on. With a much better tire not just wider is the only way I could ever see being able to rev it higher. But even then a stock converter likes to be flashed on most cars. None the less I can't see it dropping the time much at all if any without a actual higher stall converter.

9.45 1/8th mile

2005 LS8 with 20inch rims and Nitto tripple nickles spinning through first off the line, footbraked.

My K&N intake is on the way hopefully have it in for next weekend, gonna switch the H-pipe for an X-pipe, remove the resonators and change out the mufflers then eventually get that SCT tune or whatever after I research it more...

ls in the second lane great time

Thanks. That was my LS from a few years ago when I had nitrous on it.

I ahvent really read through this thread but are you guys using SST or D5 when your at the track? Ive been using SST and now my car is slower with an intake an exhaust work, also I foot brake it now maybe thats giving my problems(brakes binding)?? I went from a 9.45 to a 9.71 in colder weather..

a lot of things come in to play, mostly traction. compare your 60 foot times. sounds like you tried to go more aggressive and you spun the tires. brakestand it, but only bring it up to about 1100. let off the brake at the last yellow and ease into the throttle.

how cold was it, as that won't help traction either.

i don't have sst so I manually shift it and its fine. slight delay after moving the shifter, but the gear change itself is pretty fast. I'm pretty sure it bangs out the gear change faster with sst if you have it, instead of D4 or D5, but it too has a delay. you have to make sure you shift in advance of your redline so you don't bounce off the limiter or the computer cuts fuel. at a 1/4 mile track, you will hit 4th gear if you don't have an xcal raised rev limiter.

Well its a sh!tty track and we dont get timeslips or anything, just an ET and MPH, I do spin through first tho, it was about 30 degrees and its a pro tree.. ill hit up Memphis or something once it gets a little warmer out and they open..

Without a timeslip its hard to say if the 60' killed the runs. Reading the slip helps figure stuff out.

I just finished dyno tuning (Mustang Dyno @ Total Performance) last night and managed to get 252.1 rwhp! The sheet is at home, I believe the torque was close to 261 rw ft/lbs.

I have a 2006 LS V8, with the SCT III tune, and a KKM CAI.

I'm running 93 Octane, and a set of 245/45 17 ContiExtreme Contacts on stock rims.


Can anyone speculate on a 1/4 mile time?

Any other info needed?

i'd guess 14.6- 14.7

My car went 14.5 with just a KKM and exhaust, before my tune. All depends on the 60 foot time, really. Harder to launch a car with throttle by wire because you can't really pedal it out of the hole.

We also give up 28 HP though.
I ran a 15.333 (only non-nitrous pass for me ever, and first pass with the car- sure i could better it) but the timing was retarded and fuel set rich for the nitrous so that hurt. I went too easy on it at the light so my 60' suffered. I trapped just under 94 mph so not bad- should have been a high 14 pass. Drive by wire or not, these things are picky getting out of the hole. I'm sure drive by wire does not help one bit, and it lets me appreciate my gen I more despite its lack of VVT and the associated 28 HP.
With the nitrous on its even more picky, too much throttle and its a 60' roast show, too little and it bogs. Can't wait to get back out and try again- I set my best time with a cold bottle.

I'm looking forward to April when 75-80 opens in Damascus, MD. I have a few of the guys here at the dealership that are going to tag along. It is a mix of cars, one is an '04 545i 6-speed (yes I know.....the enemy), and a 2006 Focus ST 5-Speed... and a few others.

Anyone one who wants to join in let me know via PM. Very informal, basically a 'hey let's see what my car can do day'.

How can that be a bad day? :D

Some 1/8 mile times from Englishtown this past Saturday. Why 1/8 mile when it as windy is beyond me, but here they are. Got tired of waiting (2 hours between runs), so I bounced after the 2nd..

Here were my fantastic times.

330' - 6.277
1/8 - 9.529

330' - 6.277
1/8 - 9.529
MPH - 75.40
Weight - 3920 with me in it

60' - 2.429
330' - 6.535
1/8 - 9.818
MPH - 75.42

Love how this car MPHs the same with or without a tune. :wtf:

I hate it when that happens, get there....pay...just to find out they are only runnin the 1/8th.

Stock wheels??

Yup, stockers.

That whole day pissed me off. I specifically called them ahead of time because of the rain we had the day prior, nothing was mentioned about it. Nothing was mentioned when I forked over my 50 bucks and nothing was mentioned by the tech guy. I found out from one of the guys that I was meeting there.

Always next time, I guess.

I never run good on windy days.

Yeah I would expect 77mph from your car and maybe a 78 here and there.


I really need to weigh in, but they never have the scale open it seems.

Actually, I lied about the MPH. It went a few 97s maybe even a 98 earlier in this thread down at Atco. Hopefully we'll get all the guys together again on a much milder day and have at it again.

Gotcha. Then chalk it up to a bad day.

Here's a video (that I didn't wish existed :lol: )

At least you won.:shifty:

Lol

First time out tonite....sucked. Track was slick. I'm talking my LS whistlin trou 1,2, and into 3 sometimes. Even had a few 3-4 chirps. Some of the fast cars would whistle the whole track. Some got al kinds of sideways loose. Never saw them spray the VHT once. Maybe cause it was free night, all week actually, just pay the $12 spectator fee and race free if you want.


Anyway with the best 60' being 2.236 and only 2 being under 2.3 you can guess I was .3-.6 off all nite.


On the plus side for the first time out I was fairly sharp at the lite, even with trying diferent methods to stick. I tried everything I could think of, hardly consentrating on the lite.

I won 9 out of 10 lights.

Never a red.

Best was .002

6 out of 10 were .0xx
2 were .1xx
1 .2xx
1 .3xx


.002, .020, .036, .082, .089, .099, .114, .181, .218, .324

heading to bowling green to run the 1/4, im goin with 2 terminators, a c6, a foxbody and 2 newer mustang gt's, pics and videos later tonight

so.... I guess with that crowd you're the camera guy ;)

Lol is that volvo in the video racing with a luggage rack on the back? That must add like 100 hp. OR maybe it's a drag bar to keep it from doing too many awd wheelies ;)

Well I completely just wasted like 15 minutes of typing because Internet Explorer sucks.. but anyways, I was the hey hes got a big trunk put your spare parts/tools in his car and the camera guy until we got to the track, didnt bother me at all.. anywho, i still gotta edit the video clips and such and its late but my best run was

R/T .365
60' 2.200
330 6.105
1/8 9.305 @ 77.04
1000 12.040
1/4 14.375 @ 93.57


K&N FIPK, muffler delete, 20's and this cool mod that they all seem to think is worth making my car have one eye.. ill get more indepth tomorrow im goin to bed

So judging by the rest of yall's timeslips Im doing pretty damn good for not being tuned..?

Something looks wrong in the timeslip. Can you post it?

I've ran with the light out....didn't seem to help but that doesn't mean it doesn't, I only ran once like that.


With 20s on yeah that seems quite quick....tune or not.

Look at NYC LS8s time...thats without tune also. His 60' killed the time....with a 2.20 it'd be right there.

Yeah, the removed headlight didn't seem to do much for me the two times I ran it like that. That could also have something to do with the fierce head wind.

I actually ran such a off pace run with it out I thought it hurt the time.


You see what I see with his run?

Nice even numbers? lol Dunno

93mph....yet a 14.3. Seems wrong for this car. And with 77mph at the 1/8 getting only 93 would be very odd. Typically get 19-21mph 1/8th to 1/4, thats only 16.

Just saying maybe its a typo.

Thats whats on the slip, I dont have a scanner but I can try and take a picture of it, here is one of my other runs

R/T .534
60' 2.220
330 6.129
1/8 9.335 @ 77.94
1000 12.081
1/4 14.418 @ 96.31

Also the guys I went up with should have that run on video, Ill check with them later on tonight for it, I have 3 of my runs on video but the operator didnt zoom in on the board :rolleyes: Go figure letting a woman video tape a race lol

And if it makes any difference, Track temp was 167 on both runs with 100% humidity..

A video would be nice.

Well Ive reviewed the videos and heres the thing, all of us (myself and the wildhorses mustang group guys) were lined up so I gave my video recorder to an older wife of a member, well, she didnt zoom in on the board, I can still post them up if youd like? Id tried taking a picture of the slip but no bueno, wont focus on it and I dont have a scanner..

What was I missing !! High Performance LS forum !! WTF ! Thanks God !!
So only 1 5spd LSs time and it was indoor?? R manual LSs that rare ?? I will hit the 1/8 soon, I need to erase my cats, fix some weird drive train issue and install a bunch of stuff I bought at Ford.
Any LS6 ETs ?

And if it makes any difference, Track temp was 167 on both runs with 100% humidity..

it was raining?

xD

it was raining?

xD

Go educate yourself. Just because there is 100% Humidity does not mean its raining or going to rain. Most people dont know this so dont feel bad. ;)

Gonna tryyyyyy to go up to Lebanon tomorrow, really dislike the track but its the closest, last time I was there I went 14.8x at 94.xx, in Bowling Green I went "14.3x at 98.xx" Its in quotes because I dont have proof so Ill leave it at null and void. Well see what happens.

whatchu know bout that northeast 100% humidity weather, i hate it! everything feels wet

From the slowest to my fastest run. Temp outside was 89.6F with 34% humidity, not even close to good conditions. I think 55-60F with 10% humidity and not having the 20's could result in 13's but who knows.

video!

I ran at Bristol, TN a week ago and ran a 16.5 @ 88 mph on both of my runs. I have a 2000 LS V8, all stock. Is this the usual times for a stock 02 V8? i was expecting a little more out of it.

Going up again towards the end of this month/beginning of October, Lebanon closes the 30th of October, need that 13 second pass! Im pulling the LS into my friends garage to work on that throttle body mod as well tonight.

Nice! That's a pretty damn good time for just a converter and drag radials. What else have you done to it and what do you think had the biggest effect on ET?

I ran anywhere from 13.7 to 14.1 with 100 shot nitrous because I could not get traction for the life of me and had to back it way off (ramps up) at the launch. I never filled my bottle this year with the baby arriving but I plan to throw in a traction loc and keep stock gears.

I have since upped it to 125 shot, and hope I can go more aggressive off the line once I have traction and break into 12's.

Hi, I looked at a few pages on here. Whats the best running LS here ??? How fast in the 1/4. Hope you all can enjoy a fast Mark VIII. Here is a video and time slip from my cars 2nd run on its first day out. YouTube - Don's Supercharged Mark VIII Vs Callenger SRT-8 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihcoFG27X-Y) I let my nephew drive it and this was his second run. YouTube - Don's Supercharged Mark VIII Vs Shelby Cobra (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPklbwDt7yc) A very good day.

not sure who's the fastest LS. I'm low 12's - hit high 11's a couple of time however never hit a second pass to back it up without breaking..

Wow, That a lot of work. Very nice. How much Boost ???

my best pass so far, stock everything on 2000 ls8

R/T...086
60'....2.240
330...6.525
1/8...9.991
MPH..71.50
1000..12.930
1/4...15.399
MPH..93.62

Not to bad i thought....considering we drove 2hrs to get there..

Going up this Saturday on stock 17in 5 spokes, maybe slicks if I cant find a better tire instead of the chit Michelins on it now, altho, its quite fun ripping them apart into third :rolleyes:

Ill also be going up again around the 29th..? Wish me luck fellas, I hope to bring home that golden ticket (13s) lulz

Awesome. Best of luck. Can't wait to see the 14.01 :D
