New times for the N/A 5.7!!
Went to my local 1/8 mile track last night to finally get some shake down passes on the 5.7 we put together and was pretty happy with the results. With that said, i really need to work on suspension. the best 60" i got was leaving at 1800 rpm and i can bring this converter all the way up to 2400+ but it would hook and unload the tires!
basic run down of the truck
5.7
222/226 110lsa
stock 243's
longtubes
stock nbs intake and tb
circle D 4200
4.56
28x10 full slick on 8" rim
cal tracs
still have stock clutch fans and lower pulley
60" 1.63
1/8 7.82
MPH 85.5
this is with a hacked up 2.5" cold air intake and full exhaust. im going to make some suspension changes, make a 4" cold air intake to headlight and maybe install a cutout to see if i can gain any MPH with that.
7.82 comes out to be a 12.17-12.25 in the 1/4, if i can get this thing into the mid 1.50's i think 11's are in my future!

Yea i am looking to get the 60" down to 1.56-1.58 and maybe add 2mph with a real cold air,tbss intake swap,cut out and possibly electric fans but I'm going to do one thing at a time. It wants to leave much harder but suspension needs work.
Any suggestions as far as suspension? All I have really is 90/10's up front and cut springs. Rear has one leaf removed,shackles and hanger with cal tracs.

That's awesome, especially since you still need more bolt-ons. I blew my ls1 up and just finished my lq4 swap and I'm hoping for those kinds of times n/a. I have 4.56's too, but a tighter SS3600 stall so I'm not sure mine has it in it lol.
