Speeds and Distances
I realize that this subject comes up a lot, but mine is slightly different, I believe.
I've heard that stock L98 can reach 150-155 MPH.
I've heard that stock LT1 can reach 160-165 MPH.
I've heard that stock LT4 can reach 165-175 MPH.
I've heard that stock LT5 can reach 180-185 MPH.
I've heard a lot of thing, hehe.
Okay, they can reach these speeds, but in how much distance from a...
1) Standing start
2) 50 MPH roll
3) 80 MPH roll

Re: Speeds and Distances (black_89_vette)
Ok, now your asking a little bit to much now. :lol:
Can you make these questions a less complicated.
Whats your next question going to be how fast the car would go if they all driving down a 20 degree hill with a 30mph tail wind with the temp at 35degres F. running with a bottle of octane boost. :)

Re: Speeds and Distances (blk95)
...and an airfoil...
No, I didn't think it was too complicated a question. Basically I just wanted to know how long it took the L98 and other engines to reach their top speeds.
I am most curious about the L98 though. I 've heard 150-155 MPH, and from a stand still, would it take like 3 miles to reach that speed or so?

Re: Speeds and Distances (black_89_vette)
Just bugging.
If you figure just guessing..
it takes
5sec to hit 60mph
8/9to hit 84mph
13.5/14 to get to about 100/105mph
i'd figure about 35-45 seconds approx. to top speed considering when shifting to fifth slows the increasing mph rate.
Someone will chime in with the exact ratio.

If you check 0-100 mph times, you'll see the huge difference between the LS1/6 motors and TPI motors. L83 is far worse than L98 up to 100.
