Do you mean that you hit full accelerator at 6mph, or that you hit full on the accelerator earlier than that, and it was the electronic throttle that hit 100% at 6mph?

When you say throttle not opening, are you talking about just the electronic throttle not opening until 12mph? You are at full accelerator before the car moves, but the electronic throttle is slow to...

Actually, I think that the torque numbers they gave you are messed up. Your baseline pull has torque more than 11% higher than hp, hmmm. Knowing that the LT1 engine has been rated by the SAE as...

Looks to me like someone changed the minimum spark table on that car. With a stock minimum spark table, with TR on (like it is in the stock tcm tune), during WOT shifts it drops timing into the...

Optimal mix depends on the configuration and fuel system. For a bolt-on SS like yours, e85 straight out of the pump is the best for performance. No need to mix fuels for a bolt-on SS, because your...

Well if they have some screwy lane thing going on there, then I would suggest trying the drag radial lane next time, since you are actually using a drag radial. You should be able to hit it hard on a...

Hmm, no feedback yet on the runs? IMO a 1.86 short time on drag radials, with ECM/TCM tune and quite a bit more hp than stock, was quite noticeably slower than I'd expect. Did not sound like you spun...

You are correct that the car is being held back by the computer. Torque limits in the TCM are a big reason that the car is not launching like it should on the DRs. Check out this test...

Yes, his ecm tune with flex fuel helped with the 60' time IMO. My own experience with bolt-on mods was that with the stock SS tune and a pair of DRs, I was running mid-1.7 short times at best. Then...

I was just going by what you had posted for wheel/tire weights before: stock wheel/tire 62 lbs, vms/hoosier 32 lbs, vms/mt 52 lbs. Saving 30 ea on front and 10 ea on rear added up to 80.

Was that full-tank 3600lbs with the stock wheels/tires on, and the passenger seat still in the car? Not with your old drag pack (-80) or pass seat removed (-48)?

Uh, the OP is building a bolt-on car, not a supercharged one. The gain from E85 on a bolt-on LT1 would be more like ~25 rwhp if his 93 tune is decent. Bolt-on car won't gain as much from the ethanol...

Honestly you'd likely gain very little hp, if any, from the ported 87. I had a v-max ported 87, and I did not see any gain from it, which agrees with a dyno test that I know of (zero hp gain). Other...

Sorry, I saw 2023 10spd, post did not mention it was a 1LE. That means 2.85 rear instead of 2.77, however, it also means even more weight than a base SS (elsd plus larger front brakes). The LT1 is...
