Who said LT1s are slow?

Most of you probably won't be familiar with this car, but it's been a record-setter in the F-body world for many years and his new combo is sure to not disappoint...

As posted on LS1tech, start-up vid of Chris Sikora's (Z8's) twin-turbo LT1:

Nothing wrong with a LT1, just never going to be as good as its counter part. Car sounds wicked.

 

[99lsWON]

fuel pump? it sounded like a fuckin tornado siren inside the car.

 

[1BADAIR]

haha sounds like 2001-ws6's pump
is that a real lt1 or a sbc?

It's a real LT1 block, he wants to be the first LT1 in the 7's. I'm sure there's little else that resembles an LT1 on that car, but that's kinda how it is with most of the top dogs in the LT1 community. I'm almost positive the opti was completely gone on his last combo, so I'd assume the same now. I know he used a crank sensor on his last combo (actually I own it lol), but I don't remember what he used for cam signal. He's got a lot of effort into the new engine, I know that much.

He just posted his cam specs for this thing...
264*/ 272*/ .697" /.703" on a 115 LSA :lol:

edit: Just looked it up, he ran a small base MSD distributor before. So obviously there's nothing even remotely opti-related left on the car now.

hell i plan on still being in the 12s with the opti deleted.

Those are typical sbc turbo cam specs.

I figured as much, just relatively uncommon in the LT1 world to have a cam that big except for the all-out NA/nitrous guys, and even then there's very few of them. An LT1's basically just a reverse-cooled SBC with a funny distributor anyway.
