supercharged LT1 vs Nitrous LT1 Camaros

The Z28 is a auto with nitrous and my SS is a vortech supercharged M6. My optispark is finally crapping out on me. feels like im hitting the rev limiter at 4000 rpm.

@86zboss your 93 is right about what i would expect for a FI LT1 with an auto. it obviously would have been faster with at good opti. I do all my own work, and it is tricky to get that thing replaced without getting coolant on it.

i was able to get my hands on a factory GM replacement opti for 200 bucks. i never made it back to the track after i replaced it. but it pulled like a raped ape! huge difference. but the good ETs are more about having a good set up than HP. M6 isnt it....

@86zboss yeah, i was joking too. i was running about 5psi with my vortech and put down about 400 to the wheels. like mentioned before, my opti was crapping out, and even with the 315/35 17" (12") mickey thompson DRs i would light them up. Or it would grab on an easy launch and bog. Horrible 60's equal horrible ETs. I would have thought that the auto with nitrous would have been much faster.

Also I had that EXACT same problem. It will pull right to 4k then fall on its face and it keeps hitting a "rev limiter" sound/feel. Although when I brought the RPM's up slow it would go up to 5700 just when there was no or light load. I replaced my opti with a Msd billet unit unit 600.00 later and It is still doing the same thing but I have the 1993 vented so I think the shop might have ruined it by letting antifreeze drip on it or something of the sorts.

Lol I was joking about the crack..now the cars on the other hand I was serious. I have a 1993 Trans Am LT1 totally stock motor other than injectors and its auto, with a turbo @ 7psi and dyno tune. Put down 348rwhp and I ran a 12.6 with good street tires (nitto 555's 10.5). STOCK LT1 cars run low 14's to mid 13's. Your saying a forced induction setup or spraying only gains a few tenths?

@86zboss well i do not smoke crack, nor am i smoking it at the moment.

read the description. My car is the SS. And I am the one driving it.

due to traction problems (launching the M6 isnt easy with a blower) my best 60' ever was 2.13, and my best ET ever was a 12.98 @ 112mph. with a half decent 60' i could have run low 12s with my trap speed being 112. also, my optispark distributer was dying on me.

i dont know what to say for the auto with N2O. These are LT1s not LS1s. In the real world.

LMAO You are smoking crack.....Those cars are bone stock. With juice or forced induction even on mild settings these cars are easy 11-12 second cars.
