EastTnZ Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I'm curious what everybody is currently running on the swaps. From bone stock LS motors to twins with nitrous Please list your 1/4 time (or 1/8), weight, 60', HP and trap speed. And mods if you want but most are listed in signatures and can be looked up on the pinned topic "ls1 car club". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastTnZ Posted April 19, 2013 Author Share Posted April 19, 2013 (edited) My bad I didn't find that searching I was looking for only LS swaps in searching. Not 2JZ's and all the other hybridz's. I'm never reaching that top list of guys but I was wanting the average joe's Gen 3/4 times and speeds to see what I'll get. Thanks though Edited April 19, 2013 by EastTnZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebekahsZ Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 (edited) Check the Gen 3/4 forum in the V8 section and the V8 section in general. We just had a discussion about this under the post: 2nd Annual International Invitational... Your speed will come down to traction and RELIABILITY (drivetrain carnage). If your car is broken all the time, your trap speed will be ZERO. Street tires you will run 7s or 8s in the 1/8th right out of the box. Slicks you will run 7s. Spray/turbo/supercharge it and you will get 6s. With tire hop you will break axles. Drag radials MAY be harder on the system tham wrinkle-wall slicks. Spray it without some sort of controls and you will break axles. wfritts911 runs junkyard half-shafts and I think he is on axle #5, but his current set is holding up pretty good. Sunnyz has broken several axles at several different locations along the length of the axle system-he just completed a Ford 8.8 independent rear convesion. Zfan broke an axle stub last year. There are other guys who have broken axles/stubs too. Auto trans seems to be much more forgiving. I haven't broken yet with CV axles, but I think I've just been lucky-we'll see how long the luck holds. I MAY have had some driveshaft cracking, but it may have been just the paint, but I replaced the driveshaft just in case. wfritts911 is slipping clutch to try to be more gentle, but I cooked a flywheel doing that last year, so I'm just dumping clutch at modest rpm (I'll be the first to admit I'm not a very good driver, but I'm getting better). Doing the billet stub axle swap right now for breakage prevention (stub axle failures can be dangerous/axle breakage can be messy with a lot of collateral damage). Solid rear axle solves almost all of these problems, although I know guys who have broken them (outside the z community). Move this question to that forum and you will get more help. Most of the guys in that forum only surf that forum and don't cruise around the other sections much.
