yeah that rosty guy said he had all exzorst a cam and head upgrade and that he can dip into 11 second and it was pretty cheap, thats why he likes ls1s

my dad has a VT II ls1 and i eat him, i took my judgment of LS1s from my dads car.

Flaming......lol understated well.

I have a stock r32 prob put out 120rwkw if that....cant say i get handed my arse by really anything except other turboed cars...i mean i would get beaten by modded R8's...but i expect that since they are running 2.5 times the power and 2.5 times the capacity. They dont whoop my arse though... and as for top end...i dont think anything car really beat a force feed car. My opinion

Maybe look at your technique at driving dude

Power isn't everything.

Rotor's with relatively low power and torque can still pull some quick ETs.

Ditto for Rollas, Hondas, etc.

Ls1's advantage in a rolling start would largely be in torque. Gear selection, and revs will be your advantage.

That said, only an idiot would post on a public forum bragging about street racing.

A 13.5 quater mile should be quicker than any LS1 powered holden, and probably match any LS1 powered HSV. The bigger problem is that people fork out $70,000 for a brand new Clubsport R8, and hence the CAPA bolt on blower for $4,000 drive away seems like chicken feed. And that little supercharger makes their dyno readouts a little more worrying:

And they only get scarier from there!

Good luck with your future LS1 hunting endevours, but try and keep it off the street! I know it's tempting sometimes... I had an FPV GT baiting me on the freeway tonight (in traffic mind you) and it's soooo hard to say no in that situation! (I'm proud of me :) )

A guy at work has the Stage 2 PWR supercharger on his LS1 HSV. Estimated at around 450kW at the flywheel.

f**k it pulls....

      That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
