Trip Report: 2000 LS1 + 1970 GMC




It's been a long way to get to this point. (Links go to LivingWithStyle.com forums, my old threads there)

I really wish I could've taken more than three passes down the strip, but it was really horribly crowded, and in seven hours I only got those three runs. The green-highlighted entries are the best of the night; the far right column is my dad's '01 Z28, as we raced together in a bracket-race format. He redlighted, while I cut a decent light (0.101, not great but not bad) and ran EXACTLY my dial.

The truck drives like a dream. The lessened weight has freed the front end up a bit, and at least last night on the track, it hooks surprisingly well. 2.2 60' times aren't bad for a pickup. I cut three 14.40's on 30,000-mile-old Yokohama Avid S/Ts, while another guy in a 5.0 Foxbody on drag radials couldn't break 14.90. Power estimates from the 95MPH run and an estimated 4200lb weight as-ran put it at 315hp - which is just about perfect for an engine rated originally at 305hp, with a freer-flowing intake, exhaust, but an automatic and more weight / more air to push around.

I really, truly couldn't be happier with the end result right now. If you want to see even more photos, see http://salj.info/cmine/ and click on the LS1 swap album.
