Ran the car last night at a nearby racetrack. I was more than happy with the results. I rolled into the throttle off the line but it pulled very nicely past the 60ft. The car was ran full weight with exactly 1/2 tank of fuel and 19" 305 MT drag radials. The car still has the stock tranny, converter, and diff with 2.56 gears. Only mods are the ECS Novi 1500 kit @ 13psi, ECS small blower cam, meth kit, and 1 7/8" headers with 2.5" exhaust all the way through (no cats). I know I'm leaving some power on the table with the meth nozzle being closer to the tb and after the iat so I may consider changing that up. I may consider a converter as well but maybe later this year.

R/T .647
60' 1.858
330 4.678
1/8 6.941
MPH 109.39
1/4 10.46
MPH 141.15

Work on that launch and get a converter...voila 9's! You have the mph. How much power you making?

Joe Spinners

The car made 724/622. I'm so tempted to order a converter today lol

JetstreamGS

You certainly have the mph for 9's. Get the 60' down and you could probably get there with stock converter.

DOUG @ ECS

Nice start for sure, we have ran 9's with that combo with the stock converter. Try a little more seat time and lean on the launch more and you may just get it.

Congrats!

Do you have the restrictor plate in or not?

Joe Spinners

Thanks guys! Since it was my first time out, I was a little nervous about breaking anything but will have to put the pedal to the metal next time for sure lol. Here's the vid of the run.

And yes, that is a C7Z on the right lane, but he let off. Those cars are beautiful! Was running mid 12s@122-123 but had paper plates.

Killer times from such a basic setup on 19s

Put a stand alone fuel system and a nitrous outlet plate. Could probably go 9s at 150 ish easy without touching anything else but the tune

DOUG @ ECS

With those HP/TQ numbers i would say no restrictor.

Fixed that for ya.

Would the stock motor with the supercharger be able to handle the nitrous also?

corvettepower

I'm wanting to do same with my setup, run a plate kit I'm at 15#s of boost and wonder if stock internals can handle it

What hp are you at? Im at 712 with an ls2 and I just wanted a little something more for the guys on the street this year. Without a total rebuild.

I'm making 740rwhp stock internals

Blackonblacksls

Seen and heard of of guys making in the 80s on stock ls3s before.

DOUG @ ECS

We have made over 900 RWHP with a 1500 and a little spray. Car is still going strong and it's in a heavier Camaro. LS3

Put some real tires on it and get it to hook with what you have, I bet it goes 9.90s with the stock converter. That's a great all around set up for a street drive. Sure a converter would get you 9.60s but then you have to deal with the side effects of having a stall converter.

When I go from driving my Z06 with a tight FTI converter to my wife's G8 with a stock converter, it's still no comparison.. The stock converter drives 10x better under any circumstance besides 100% wide open throttle.

Unless you're gonna be drag racing a lot, try to keep the stock converter. Drive better and faster on the highway.

corvettepower

Doug how much boost and how much spray was you running cause I'm wanting to add spray to mine but not sure how much I'm making 15#s of boost stock internals no cam 2011 ls3 grand sport

Nosferatu

congrats awesome times (and even better MPH)!

Doug, I have an ls2 with the 1500 no plate 712/hp 646tq. I was wondering about the stand alone fule system with the notrous plate.stock motor. What would be needed to add to my car and what the price be?
