LT1 9c1 Caprice 0-60 6.66 with cone air filter and headers

Video of my old car running 0-60 in 6.66. It's was a 1995 Chevy Caprice police cruiser (9c1) with a 5.7 LT1 V8. Stock this car got low 7s 0-60 and low 15s quarter mile times.

This video was the best run of the night. If I just floored the pedal the tires would spin all the way to 2nd gear (~45mph) and the car wouldn't move, instead leaving 60 ft tire marks on the pavement. It took the perfect throttle positioning to minimize tire spin on the stock skinny 225/70/15 tires while still achieving maximum acceleration.

The stock air intake was removed and an "intake duct" was installed, which consists of a cone air filter attached to a 3" pipe adapter which connected right up with the mass airflow sensor, allowing a direct path for air intake and a larger cone air filter. Cost about $5 in parts plus a cheap cone air filter and made a significant difference in 0-60 times.

There was a leak in the passenger side exhaust manifold so I installed "Jet-hot" headers for about $300 rather than pay about the same for an exhaust manifold.

everything else is stock, including the exhaust, which is a shame because I could have probably got better times if I had upgraded.

tested using a G-Tech Pro

which is a device that uses an accelerometer to measure g-forces.

Taken October 2003 and was recorded in a large, vacant parking lot late at night. Car had about 166,000 miles on it at the time. Sold it 30,000 miles later when gas prices climbed to $3.50/gal and I could no longer afford a car that consistently got 16mpg. New owner blew up the engine within a month driving it like a idiot.

no, they're both there, just in a accident and it never aligned properly again.

You have a Mono headlight system?

Cyclopse.. Take out the other headlight and you'd be at 6 seconds.. lmfao
