I just thought I would share our awesome weekend with you guys. A good weekend at the track is a good weekend at the track, no matter what brand or make of car you have.

David Douberly arrived at the shop friday night at 10:30pm with the newly freshened up 436 LS1 engine. The guys over at school of automotive machine (SAM) pulled it off of the dyno only a few hours prior to him leaving Houston. We knew it was going to be a long weekend, so we got started right away with the assembly of the car. After working through the night, we fired the car off early saturday morning. She sounded healthy, and the chassis dyno backed up our gut feeling that all was well.

We headed off to Hallsville to get some track time. The first few passes, the track was still not bedded in properly, and the car was a real handfull to keep between the lines. I lifted before going through the lights on the 2nd pass and the car went 9.83 @128. after some suspension tuning and general tweaking here and there we finally pulled down a new record pass for NA ls1 powered cars, the slip read like this.

60' 1.322
1/8 6.19
MPH 111.43
1/4 9.69
MPH 141.22

Prior to that pass the car went 9.735 / 9.75 and we backed up the record pass with a 9.70 @139.

If you don't know this car go check it out http://www.thebeaSSt.com . Congrats to Dave and Steven, this record has been 2 years in the making and there's more still to come out of this baby. The MMT crew is behind you 150%, lets go get that 9.50 pass!!!

Wonder where did he get that intake that is too SWEET :yesnod:

 

Way to go Sean and the crew at MMT for putting together one hell of a run. Maybe you should throw one of those 436's into your car Sean, and then spray the he** out of it :steering: .

 

Sean, post some details on the motor.

Does ARE have a 9.51 NA ET or was that power adder?

The car weighs about 3040lbs with driver but thats about all I know.

 

:cheers:

 

And this is related because you can make a C5 do the same thing right? You can post details on how C5 owners can get these same type of mods, costs, details, etc...right?

 

One mean beast! :cool:

 

What does the fastest NA C5 LS1 run? Nice job. :cheers:

 

I clicked on the website and clicked on mods and didn't get anything---I want to see this intake manifold and get more details on the mods.

 

I clicked on the website and clicked on mods and didn't get anything---I want to see this intake manifold and get more details on the mods. Incredible runs, it certainly gives something for the NA guys to shoot for

 

Yes they can make you a 436 solid roller like this if you wish. :D

I was just a few thousand dollars short. LOL

BTW ARE and Cartek make posts about their f-bodies so I dont think thats against the rules.

 

Tek Warrior's 415cid C5 has gone 10.71 @130mph NA. I believe he's still the fastest. :yesnod:
