93-97 11's 1/4

What all does it take/H.P to run 11's with a 93-97 LT1 A4 without boost or nitrous?

I was dynoed at 328 rwhp and ran a 12.10 with an S-10 converter 2500 stall. I should be in the 11.70 -11.80 range with this new converter and good weather.

Outstanding. Why were your h.p numbers so low? What's the Hydro rev? Those are some great 1/4 times.

Re: 93-97 11's 1/4

Well, with the inefficient torque converter, 9 inch rearend and a tranny that was on its way out, I am probably making somewhere around 375 at the flywheel. The lock up wasn't working either. The lock up solenoid was dead so I couldn't manually lock it up to reduce power loss from slippage. Most guys running my combo are making anywhere from 340 to 350 rwhp. To be honest, I'm not all that concerned with the low numbers because the car does the job on the track .

The hydra rev is a rev kit built by AFR for hydraulic roller cams. It puts an additional 40 lbs or so of seat pressure on the body of the lifter so you don't overload the plunger where the pushrod sits. I have never experienced valve float with this kit installed.

I asked about the power numbers because my car didnt make much power on the dyno but runs like a raped ape. I'm somewhat in the same situation youre in. My tranny was bad, just had it rebuilt and I have a feeling the tq converter lock up solenoid isnt working but I'm not sure.

It also depends on what kind of dyno you were on. Iv'e seen up to 40 hp differences between dyno runs! What kinds of numbers were you getting? You have to be well over 400 rwhp.

My numbers were horrible but I also had some small issues with it running rich that are being worked out as we type.

As you can see it was a DynoJet. I had a friend dyno @ 306rwhp or so with a 1998 LS1 Vette and run a 12.4 the next day. He had a Wielend intake manifold, 2800 or 3000 stall tq converter, all the usuall bolt ons, 373 gears, and no tune. That alone tells me something is up. My goal is 11's on motor and who knows with a 175 shot. What are all your mods and what suspension?
