First Ever WOT Runs with My Ls1 Rx7

sciff5 · 04-11-2009, 06:59 PM

I havent lived in FL goin on 2 years now but went to UM so I lived down there for 4 years. While I wa down there I got to meet a couple of you guys but I never got a chance to really go to many meets ect. I actually didnt even have a car down there for the most part so I was always riding with someone else. I actually just finnished this build which took me about 3 or 4 years of on/off work and its still far from finnished. Engine is just a stock ls1 with boltons and the car has been mostly stripped. Should run high 11s / low 12 at about 115-120 mph. Just getting some seat time before I add the nitrous/clutch. Then going cam/intake, and if thats still not enough I'm deff going FI.

I am originally from Mass and thats where I am now. The winter is really just ending but its been too cold to drive a stripped car with no heat or AC. And these vids were shot on the warmest day of the year so far. It started off in the low 40s and got up to about 60. Traction improved drastically as it warmed up

This vid was the first one we shot. It was early in the day and only about 40 degrees outide. Just before my buddy got the camera on I had rolled quickly into 1st during a slow roll and just blew the tires off. Up untill this point I was always spinning 1st and 2nd. This was the absolute first time ever I got 2nd gear to stick and we got it on camera on a back road heading out to the highway. Going up hill, going through 2nd, 3rd, and some of 4th.

First Flyby. Didnt launch the car at all just quickly rolled into 1st gear off the line and thankfully the tires stayed put.

Thanks for watching guys. I have a spare set of tire just begging to be destroyed and that'll be the next vid I just gotta find a place desolate enough to do it.

This is the new top speed run. I didnt know Jose was recording I just knew he wanted to go fast again when I heard him say the guy moved over for me.

The scan gauge gets its speed reading from the PCM. The PCM is set up for a slightly smaller tire so even though we hit an indicated 129, it was actually closer to 135.

In the begining look at the speedo, before I hit it we're doing 34 and then I hit it and within about a second the speedo was reading like 55. Passing power is pretty good

true dual 3" with an x-pipe. I had 18" sweet thunder straight through resonators in there and it droned too much around idle and cruise so I put in dynomax bullets as well and they made the car a lot quieter at idle/cruise
