Project Drag Pig Executive v2.0

[<---cop]

Started gathering parts for a new drag pig toy.

First up I'll be chasing the LS1 A4 unopened record, then will see how much is left in it before even considering the outright stock engine record which is 11.01 and probably completely out of reach :yup:

Picked up the most important thing first!
A brand new VZ Executive front bar :rotflol:

Shown here mocked up with my spare intake manifold and OTR.
Neither of which will probably make it on the car in it's final guise but it makes a nice picture.

Also picked up a new VZ radiator for cheap too:

Just need to fill in the middle bits which is why I'm picking up this:

http://i71.servimg.com/u/f71/13/11/04/45/dsc05212.jpg

VT SS w/99,000ks that got driven under the back of a truck should be a nice drivetrain for me :)

The crash sheared the plastic oil filler and cap off and filled the head with bits of black plastic. Will pick that shit out I guess :rolleyes:

I'm on the hunt for a VY/VZ executive to cannibalize for a bodyshell but just need to sell my current LS1 first for an injection of funds.

Hoping to get it running and on the track at Heathcote for the LSX Shootout in April. We will see..... :eek:

First up I'll be chasing the LS1 A4 unopened record




Gives me a wonderful excuse to piss off the cam and 853 heads and slot in a brand new GM factory LS1 cam and new set of 241 heads with new LS7 lifters and LS6 valve springs.


How do you chase an unopened record when your pulling heads and changing cams and shit ???

Going 100% as delivered factory LS1 now.
Will cam only later :D

- Unopened LS1
- OTR
- Valve springs
- 1.75" headers

Ran 11.9@113mph

[ALLMTR]

Thank god it's not blue or a M6. I'd hate to lose my title.

Suppose this is the only place you can talk about your car now, huh? :)

[<---cop]

Lol. Yeah I don't post about my cars on LS1 anymore, just general and tech stuff.
I'm on a few forums and I'm an active member of The QLD Shitsrirrers Club.

Maybe I'll find a Vespers Blue VY cheap :D

[<---cop]

Thanks to whinging bitches, i'll just go the 100% stock LS1 longblock now.
Shut the keyboard warriors up :gay:

PS Not you Fondles xxx

[BoganDAVE]

I don't really understand the amount of money people spend chasing stupid car specific records.

I am going for fastest vk, 304 , single turbo, e85, trimatic, salisbury record. Hope I get it.

[<---cop]

Yeah I understand that. Mine is unfinished business.
No unopened LS1 has ever run an 11 second pass in QLD so I want to do that first.
Then the A4 unopened record that has stood for 3 years is only 0.3 or 0.4 away.

I find it more of a challenge to get a standard engined car running quick than just throw a cam and heads or FI on it and go fast the easy way :)

WHOAH! Valve springs!
and wtf is an 'unopened' LS1? Does it still have the factory oil in it? or have you opened the sump plug?

[ALLMTR]

"Unopened" is a class of racing for Lsx cars

?

Hasn't m12 run 11 unopened?

[<---cop]

Hasn't m12 run 11 unopened?

Pfft :gay:

12.2 or 12.19? Definately no 11 :)
Leatherman ran a 12.2 as well.

FarkOne2 ran his 11.9 with a 222/224 cam :owned:

[ALLMTR]

What rims did you have on your VY for the track?

[<---cop]

Bridgestone turanza 225/60/15 from memory on standard cop 15x7 chasers.
Buy them anywhere :)
Ran 1.7 60fts and 12.3s with them. Hook up awesome for a road tyre even with a 4500 converter and 4.11s.

MT drag radials did 1.6 60ft and 12.2s with Weld Draglites. Not worth it with your car just yet.

[ALLMTR]

Thanx for the info. There are three or four different "turanza" tyres. Any idea on model number?

Are you going to refit your old OTR???

http://members.optusnet.com.au/wackee/fit1.jpg

[<---cop]

Of course I will.
Ran quicker than MarkOne2's PT OTR when we swapped OTRs and ran them back to back :D

I'll look up the part number. Was pretty sure there was only one 225 though.

[choppo]

Thanks to whinging bitches, i'll just go the 100% stock LS1 longblock now.
Shut the keyboard warriors up :gay:

PS Not you Fondles xxx

So you changed your entire engine plan and a shite load of cash just to 'shut the keyboard warriors up' ???
AND, i'd like to see M12's comments about your claims.

[<---cop]

What?

I'll be leaving the stock 853 heads and stock VT2 cam in the engine rather than fit a pair of $100 stock 241 heads and a standard VY cam worth $50.
853 and 241 are the exact same heads. Just different casting techniques.

I've been reading alot on the US forums about stock internal setups and they don't allow 853 to 241 swaps. So it won't happen.

Ask Mark, we swapped his prototype carbon Kevlar PT OTR for my bunnings one. Not the plastic cracking shit you guys saw on the Internet and paid $500 for :rotflol:
I went 0.15 slower. His words "The air speed is probably better on your one".

[ALLMTR]

I find it more of a challenge to get a standard engined car running quick than just throw a cam and heads or FI on it and go fast the easy way :)



It's not just easier, it's cheaper. Once you've done the OTR, tune and exhaust where to from there? A cam is what is going to give you the best bang for your buck from there.

If your VY has already run 11.9 at 113, haven't you already achieved this?

[<---cop]

If your VY has already run 11.9 at 113, haven't you already achieved this?

Nah, sold the VZ, the guy took it to Heathcote and ran the 11.9 in VIC sub-10 degree weather. Best it did in QLD was a 12.1

You still should do converter/clutch and gears before cam anyway.
It's the little things that make the difference.

[bpm]

wtf is this? performancels1.com.auforums.com?

[da9jeff]

well it is a thread about drag commos, rather LS1 talk than farkin ecotec talk :)

[bpm]

fair enuff, i love my ls1s, but gimme a turbod ecotec over a fuckin stock cammed ls1 with slicks and 90/10s.

[<---cop]

Thank god I'm a drag radials guy then :p

[choppo]

Um yeah, go back to your original post, then look through your posts to where you are at now. The keyboard warriors have made you change your mind. Pretty simple.

And if you are not going to spend some cash, just join the line of the other 1000 guys who said they will do the same thing.

Prove me wrong by all means. Ill be more than happy to congratulate you.

But please do it within say 12mths, as there are a few hundred others doing the same thing.

i ran 12.2 on 18in street tyres with a real trans... 12.10 with slicks.. bog stock unopened.. stock valve springs as well...

i went 11.8@119 with a 222/224... real trans too...

What kilowattage was that at? Weight? Sixty?

[10sec rx7]

100% full weight on the 12.2, 12.1 was hard cover off..

245rwkw from memory (this was nearlly 4 years ago) weight would be around 1600kg...

Cry me a river sweetheart. Sorry to offend your drunken drag racing god :lol:
I do what I want to the US rules. When ANDRA make a formal class, I'll reconsider :owned:
As for the few hundred others chasing stock engined records at the moment.... name ONE? :dunno: :gay:

QLDers need timeslips... weighbridge prinouts... dyno graphs.... rwkw vs rwkw... full weight... even then it doesn't count if it wasn't tuned by PT and run at Willowbank :rotflol:

I think you have to drive a white VX ute owned by someone else and claim it as your own :lol:

hahahah only 1 qld'er needs that shit... he makes most of the qld LS1 scene look like dicks...

Fucking AGREED!!!! :yup:
And fixed

[greenhj]

permanently banned from ls1.com?

Why?

[<---cop]

I wore a t-shirt to the LS1 Drag Nationals that pissed off the moderators of LS1 when it got posted up on the forum :lol:

[blackbart]

What shirt?

[<---cop]

ok, fuck it :lol:

Belz is/was a moderator on LS1.com.au

[Monk]

Hahahaha. Was that the actual guy, or just someone who unfortunately had no choice but to stand to the right of you?

[<---cop]

That was my mate.
Belz is a chick, not a guy!

[Monk]

Uh yeah, I sort of gathered that by the arrangement of words and the arrow...

[ALLMTR]

As for the few hundred others chasing stock engined specific colored car records at the moment.... name ONE?

So USA unopened means you can change rod bolts on some engines?

They're fucking geniuses.

Blokes here are doing the same thing. Swapping rod bolts and claiming cam only records. It's just not listed in their mods ;)

[ALLMTR]

But that's immoral!!!

[blackbart]

I guess it makes sense if you know who Belz is.

[10sec rx7]

is that like people skimming the heads and calling it cam only as well??

[<---cop]

I think it's like people running no cats, no aircon and taking pics showing their two front seats and claiming full weight???

[10sec rx7]

hahahah yep seen that before... no Power steering either..

[<---cop]

We won't even mention the stroker rumours from ex-workshop employees about certain cars.... :lol:

Is it just me or is LS1.com.au a little sensitive these days? Seems to be a lot more bitching, name calling and banning of people than a few years back.

[greenhj]

dish out some fucken dirt cunts, i wouldnt mind some chuckles because i cant stay on that site more than 2 minutes without gettting bored, itd be much more interesting when you know some inside shit.:yup:

[blackbart]

More than half the posts and threads I put on there dont show up.

[ALLMTR]

Why can't you run no cats/ac/ps?

[nine2nine]

I think its cause they are claiming full weight, and removing these items.

[<---cop]

Exactly. Do whatever you want to your car. Just don't bullshit and put down someone else when you are doing exactly the same thing :mad:

Full weight is the biggest croc of shit ever invented on an internet forum.
It's a handicap system used to nullify the results of anyone that is faster than them.
ie "But you aren't running full weight, you removed your spare tyre" :gay:

[<---cop]

While I'm ranting, my other favourite is fuel economy results recorded over 15klms on the highway, downhill after resetting the trip meter :lol:

[ALLMTR]

Now that one I know who you are talking about

[Euroboost]

Fuck it, I'm getting an Adventra LX8 and going for the record!

Good to see LS1.com.au hasn't changed since I was banned, nearly 10 years ago!
Cunts got scared because I said I worked for a dealer. Like I gave a shit what people did to their cars, I was Oking full driveline replacements on highway patrol cars under warranty for christsakes!

I rarely get on LS1.com.au now, and never really post on there.
I reckon the place started going down hill when some of the sponsors got involved (not you Dale)
