jbc3 Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 A friend took video of a couple of my runs last week, so I posted them in the video section of Hybridz. I was able to set the line lock and do 3rd gear burnouts to heat the tires. I also did just off idle launches. Unfortunately he did not get my best run. On the run where I raced a yellow Nova, you hear an engine cracking up and making noises, but that was him, not me. I can not wait to be able to really launch hard, run the engine to redline and speed shift. Enjoy. Jody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v80z Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Dude I am totally impressed. Tell me more about the LT1. Running low 11's and shifting by hand is awesome. Do you have LSD or Locked? All the details as I am getting close to mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbc3 Posted September 14, 2005 Author Share Posted September 14, 2005 The LT1 is a 385 stroker (.040 over, 3.75 stroke) with a Lunati Crank, Lunati pro mod rods and Ross pistons. Ported stock heads. I am running a Crane 234-242-112 cam and 37lb injectors. 4 bolt splayed mains, Canton oil pan, electric water pump. I have the R230 limited slip rear, Moser Axles and billet stub axles from MMC. As you can tell from the videos I am launching off idle and making 1.6 60' runs. I am granny shifting and not red lining the motor since it has not been tuned yet. I am working on a tune now and after a Dyno session it should be making more power and I will be shifting at a much higher RPM. I have a roll bar and additional tubular sub frame connectors welded in Parellel to the stock sub frames from just behind the front engine frame to the rear just behind where the stock car rear sway bars bolt in) which makes the entire car extremely stiff which helps keep the car straight. I am running the 6 speed tranny and a twin disk McLeod clutch with a 1 1/8" Tildon master cylinder. I then had to weld a large nut on the clutch pedal and run a large bolt through it so it stops when I push the clutch in about 2" so the pressure plate does not over extend. It makes speed shifting really easy. (which I have yet to do at high speed yet) What else do you want to know? Jody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nazar Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 can you imagine that setup in a 240z from the earlier days? 2400lb vs 2800lb.... great job though, I cant wait to get my lt1/t56 running and to the track What tires were you on?

jbc3 Posted January 5, 2006 Author Share Posted January 5, 2006 I was running 305/40/16 M&H Racemasters. I now have Mickey Thompson 255/50/16 Drag radials on the car. I have not weighed the car yet, but I would guess that it is around 3000+ lbs. I have not gone looking for weight savings and I have added alot of heavier parts... the roll bar, tubular sub frame connectors, the R230 alone must weigh 30 - 40 lbs more than the R200 I took out, heavier brakes, 95 Z28 leather seats, etc..... I need to get to the scales. Jody can you imagine that setup in a 240z from the earlier days? 2400lb vs 2800lb.... great job though' date=' I cant wait to get my lt1/t56 running and to the track What tires were you on?[/quote'] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
