hehe, a cam...

 

Yeah...seems like everyone would just buy a cam instead of wasting time with the other mods. Buy you a TA/camaro and slap on a cam and you got you a 911 Turbo killin machine!

 

 

all you want, look at my sig...That is internally only cam, yeah i said only cam!!!! and i am still missing 2 bolt ons and tuning, will be oround 410-420 with those.... ...That equals some low 11 second passes....Do some research before you roll eyes there ricer boy...

 

Warranty. You'd better believe that when the 36/36,000 is over the stock cam is getting yanked.

I love the rice denial some of the folks in this thread are living in. Fact is that the stock LS1 heads flow great and the stock cam is just plain small. Full bolt-on, cam-only LS1's can be downright lethal. Better bring a power adder if you want to mess with one of those.

 

Last time i checked a 124mph trap would walk that 100K Porsche with no problem.

Also getting a cam is becoming a big trend in the LS1 community...30-40 rwhp with just a cam is too easy to pass up.

 

Yep, I had a passenger and he didn't. My friend said he thought that was why he pulled on me, but I still think it was the exhaust not the passenger. I mean we have raced 4 other times and we split those races. It was whoever got the jump on the start and neither one of us could pull on each other. The only difference from yesterdays race and the other four is the exhaust and the passenger. Maybe it was a combination or so because I diffenitely wasn't able to hit 100+ in the quarter as I could easily do before.

JamRWS6,I am not really sure but I thought it was around 35 Mph.



Joeshow750, thanks for the compliment. I was shifting without the clutch all the way except for fifth.


xZlr8, we have the quarter measured out and it is about the end of fourth beginning of fifth depending how much speed you can get going.


Next time we test our cars against each other I am going to have someone at the end of the quarter recorded it instead of one of us having a passenger. I then want to try it with the stock exhaust and then with only the premuffler to see if it makes a difference.

 

30-40 hp increase from a cam will get you a 11.1 second 1/4 mile? How does that work?

I'm not trying to be a smart *** but I thought stock a Z-28 would do low 13's so just by adding a cam you can get 11.1. Damn that is ahell of a deal.


Maybe if you add an exhaust you'll be in the 9's!

 

Mods are cumulative. 30-40rwhp would be a nice gain for a basically stock LS1. Throw on all of the bolt-on's and you'll easily see 400rwhp horsepower with an almost stock idle. If you can live with a choppier, surging idle then you'll leave 400rwhp well behind. Put a pair of drag radials on the back and start collecting the 11-second time slips, at least until the 7.5" 10-bolt rear grenades.

 

Then you buy a 9 in or 12-bolt, launch off of the rev limiter with slicks, and look at the clouds.

 

here is a link for you...These are all the cars in 11s with STOCK INTERNALS, thats right, no cam, ONLY boltons!!!Just imagine what these people could run with a cam...BTW i ran a 12.4 at 113.6 with my boltons (not even all of them) before my cam, so better believe it, some of you people really need to do some research...

ummmm, not to be a DICK here, but I think what he was asking (like I was) was why doesn't every single Z28 owner RUN (not walk) out and buy cams if they add that much (I don't hang around Z28 sites, but on Audi and VW 1.8T engines, you can add a CHIP for only $500 and get an additional 50-60 HP and almost 90 ft-lbs of torque, and it is CRAZY the amount of people buying these things, NOW looking at it that way and the fact that typically, I would guess a Z28 owner is MORE worried about drag racing than a VW Bug owner, why don't we hear more about them (the Warrenty issue is interesting, that certainly doesn't stop all teh VW and Honda owners from doing mods)

This is a Sincere question.

btw, you might want to be a little more kind in your responces I am NOT sure why we have Z28 owners over here wanting to pick a fight and throwing out "rice" terms, as you clearly see, some of use are just looking for answers, NO need to get so defensive.

 

That's cool, I don't mind doing research. Looks like the best place to go for information on ls1's is my350z.com

 

 

you noticed that too, ha??? to be honest, I don't understand it??

 

Come on are you being serious. Not everybody mods thier cars. Especially not as intensive as a cam intall can be. You dont hear about cammed LS1s because you are on my350Z.com, go over to LS1.com and read to your hearts content. You are the one using sarcasm to show your disbelief at things that us LS1 owners have known about for months, so dont sit there and act like you dont know why we are getting defensive.

 

I split 1-1 v SS (possible Z28). But, by the end of third, I would estimate a car length difference loss and a car length plus win with significant pull both ways. The launch and hook up are crucial. Too much wheel spin and it's over.

Question for you LS1 fans. I know the 50th anniversary Corvette has 350 hp. Is that true for all 2003+ vettes or just the anniversary model?

I think what you consider "a few bolt ons" is a lot different then me.

 

What is it about internet chat forums that lead some people to act like they're five years old? And for those who will say they were only reacting to what someone else said, when was the last time you heard someone whine "but he said it first!" Probably in an elementary school. People grow up.

Please do not ruin what was a friendly, informative thread.

 

Hey buzz, I know what you mean. You just have to remember that some folks do a better job of modding the car on the cheap than others. When I see someone with ported heads I almost cringe - these folks are paying thousands of dollars to get an extra 20 or so rwhp on a car that's already pushing well past 400rwhp. It doesn't make sense to me.

Anyone running 11's is going to have a lot of money in their car, regardless of whether or not they've got ported heads or are running N2O. I said it before - 11 second time slips destroy 10 bolt rears. You're looking at another couple grand to get a 9 inch or 12 bolt if you want to keep ABS and traction control intact.

Also, the cams those guys are running are relatively small. Those engines probably idle fine, albeit a little choppy from the tight LSA. Take the skinnies/DR's off and those could be commuters.
