    Ls1 Engine Swap Times.

    Well i finally finished my LS1 Engine swap into my truck. I went out today with my g-tech to take some times. The last 3 times i used it and then went to the track it was only +-.1 of a second off so its fairly accurate. I did 4 passes with it. The first one was 15.12(spun my wheels) next was 14.57 then i ran a 14.11 last but not least i got a 13.98 at 101mph. It was also 87 degrees outside.

    Is this a pretty good time for a pretty much stock ls1? and stock 4l60e tranny?

    Thanks Brandon

    dr's, stall converter, 3.73's , and you will hit high 12's possibly. Awesome man, I want to do an LS1 swap but not to sure about the gas mileage since gas prices are so damn high.

    12's is pushing it witout a cam. maybe in a scsb with a huge converter and great traction in perfect weather. i dont doubt its possible. my full bolt on ls1 stock cam went 13.26 with a sluggy 1.83 60' time.
