Vette Mag trying to copy me
The newest issue of Vette magazine is doing a performance build on an LT1 engine, so I made sure to pick it up. And what do I see, they are using almost the exact same setup that I'm currently assembling. They built a 410 HP 441 Tq motor with the exact same cam as mine the XE 501, 1.6 rr's, long tube headers, and the Accel Superram. The only thing that isn't already in the closet waiting to be installed or on order, is the Superram. To be honest I didn't even know that you can use the TPI SR on the LT1.
Now the disclaimer, those numbers were on an engine dyno, not a chasis dyno, and it was with 3" open tube exhaust with no cats. But by my calculations this setup should get my car into the 12's without nitrous, and maybe the 11's with juice.
Hey Bob, start pricing out a Accel SR manifold and plenum for my car please.
