Seeing the LS1 in non GM cars makes me want to put one in an old Quattro. Looks like a good time. > [@POOPRA](#): > > I guess you can shoehorn a LS1 into anything Thats because it is such a small engine physically that you really aren’t “shoehorning” it in, it just fits in alot of places. With the covers removed it is obvious just how small the engine really is ---

what cam are you running and what other “tricks” do you have up your sleeve? The best i have been able to do so far with my fat bitch is a 12.02 @ 118.5 with a 1.8 6 foot and multiple holes (vac leaks) in the bottom of my manifold ☹ ---

> [@jt76](#): > > what cam are you running and what other “tricks” do you have up your sleeve? The best i have been able to do so far with my fat bitch is a 12.02 @ 118.5 with a 1.8 6 foot and multiple holes (vac leaks) in the bottom of my manifold ☹ He is going to tell you the same thing you have heard before. Coming from someone else who ran around the same times NA I am going to say your car has a great MPH. With the vac leak sorted out and coming out the hole hard enough without bog you will go over 120mph. That being said you need a real 60ft and the ability to come out of the hold at 5k+rpms without a big bog afterward. Whats the answer? REAL slicks and a steep gear. Just my 2 cents. ---

> [@LZ](#): > > Your shit is full weight :lol: > > Go on a diet I agree with Justin here. You have a similar camshaft that is a tad bigger. The hugh crack in the bottom of the FAST intake wasn’t helping you any for the tune, driveability, or power. Your car is full weight with leather interior with back seats, front & rear bumper supports. You also have 3.73 gears which will be great once you put a set of AFR heads on an start making big power. Drop some weight and get it out of the hole and your ETs will fall ---
