2000 twin turbo 6spd LS1 Firehawk runs some 10.0's @ over 140mph! **Videos**

Wow you guys are a tough crowd! Guess nobody 'cept for me likes twin turbo LS1 F-bodies....
 
LS1 this

Jack Cotton goes 9.40's at over 145 w/ 100 less cubic inches, and 1 turbo!
I guess the "impressive" part of the f body is the trans lasted a whole run.. But then maybe it didn't, and it was on a "lo 9", and was all done at the 1000' mark!hehheh!:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :D
 
Take it easy Chuck or you might need a nitrous pill!

Yes but Jack Cotton has a Stage II motor and this is a stock block stock displacement (346ci) LS1 so IMO it is pretty impressive....

Glad I'm not the only one who likes turbo LS1 F-bodies:)

I like these kind of videos with some true drag racing action instead of the usual street racing crap you see all over the 'net and as much as I love TRs there are other cars that I find impressive and like:cool:

John, you got it wrong.... You are the man!:D :)

Later.
 
That's a friend of mine, his name is Matt Harlan. His car is the same one in the video that makes its rounds where he is taking on a bike on the highway.

AFAIK, his car is torn down currently, but I have a feeling that when it comes back, it will be an even more impressive street car.
 
Steve,

Nice Video, i have to say you are giving ACME a run for his money with your video finds. ;)

Thanks!:) I'm trying my best to compete with ACME, but he has the experience factor going for him;) :D

Jason, got any details you can share on his build-up plans?
If so please do:cool:

I wish I had some. I don't see Harlan too often, maybe once every 4-6 months. If I find anything out I will let you know.

I have seen his car run a few times at the track (when it was running) and I hung out at a street race or two when he was running his car. The thing screams.

Doesn't Harlen have a 6 speed?

Also what kind of gas were the two cars running.

Does Jack have a FAST system on his car?

These twin turbo kit's have such small housings -- it's terrible trying to fit them in there. They are not as efficient as that big nice one on Jack's car. Two is not necessarily better than one.

Yes Harlan has a 6spd, I'm sure Jack was running some C16 race gas (not sure if Harlan ran those times on pump gas or not), and as far as I know Jack does use a FAST system (don't know what Harlan has, but I think he just uses LS1 Edit)....

Both cars are impressive IMO, but in different ways!

Just the way I see it:cool:

LS1edit wont do jack when 50lb injectors are maxxed out ;)

I thought Rob Raymer ran 9.9x @136+mph with 50lb injectors with the Ed Wright/LS1 Edit chip programming:confused: Guess they would be maxed even though there are 8 injectors versus our 6?
 
Rob has the FAST setup now (as his website says)

it has to do with boost levels... 50#'s wont do 18psi (depending on the engine setup) .... say with a built LS1 (equivilent to a stage 2 setup)

Jack is running alot more boost than any LS1 PCM could work with
 
Just so you know I think Jack's setup is great too

I just wanted to make sure all the LS1 haters played fair and compared apples to apples

:cool:

Chuck knows how to play fair, but he doesn't want to at his age:p
