Is this the highest speed for an NA LS1?

[cuspub]

A Nizpro modified stroker powered R8 ran an impressive 12.39 @ 118.78 MPH at the last Calder street meeting - can anyone advise if this is the quickest MPH to date for an NA car?

It should be noted that the car is set up for circuit raing (monster brakes, $9000 of suspension including 800-pound rear springs), and yet the owner still enjoys his music and has a big stereo in the car.

It tipped the scales for the Calder meeting at 3960 pounds (with driver) and was subject to significant wheelspin resulting an an absolute crap 60 foot time of 2.21 seconds best.

11.83 from a VUSS in Perth would be the quickest N/A on this forum....


And looking at the quick list, Nizpro's 12.3 would be about 9th down the list as far as NA cars go (without NOS anyway)....

118.7mph is good though!!

[cuspub]

AndyP, you missed the point, I am talking MPH, noting that via any 1/4 mile calculator, 118.74 mph is indicative of a potential 11.5.

The point being that the car is set up for circuit, is heavy and slow out of the hole. In turn, the lost momentum normally dicates a very minor loss in MPH, perhaps two, which would in turn mean that with slicks and set up for drags, the potential improves to say an 11.4

Further to this, I am really only intereste din the MPH, not ET.

I cant remember seeing a higher MPH figure NA. Great run! Any more details on the mods to the car?

[BAH SS]

almost 119mph is really getting into gear. Anyone have any spec's on the set-up?

Edit: HSV do you type faster than me or what? ;)

[Red CV8 R]

Hehehe! Very fast fibre optic internet connection! :yup:

[cuspub]

Sure, it is a 6.4 (I think) stroker, custom camshaft, high compression (still on pulp though), MoTeC, and of course a range of other internal enhancements. It runs a trans cooler, diff cooler, Koni two-way adjustables, super heavy springs, bars and custom rear end mods, 6-pot AP front and 4-pot rear, full interior with big system of subwoofers, amps et cetera.

More than that, well, it will be featured in Zoom magazine soon.

I realised and corrected my post while you were typing out your reply ;)

MPH is quite impressive and I admit I didnt read your first post properly.

[cuspub]

That's cool AndyP!

[Plan B]

Hey! Congratulations to Nizpro and the guy who owns the car. Very impressive given the weight and set-up etc. There’s some serious grunt in that combo!

[jaenschw]

This car has some serious grunt let me tell you!!!

:bow:

I have met the owner and I had a run against him over a 1km speed run at Mangalor airport. I had 270rwkw h/c at the time and he left me for dead.

:hide:

Check out his feature article at:

Yeah right.... I'd like to get rid of 1/2 tonne and tub it. Let's move the engine back 3' and have a very skinny stream lined shitta.

Nah! You should get over the US crap and get with the times strife....... who ya been talkin to?

[strife]

not sure what you are rambling about cat12z


simple question

Is this the highest speed for an NA LS1?


simple answer

highest speed for an NA ls1 is 138mph

118.7mph seems to be highest in Oz I reckon until Plan B or Kim go the track next

what gives??! The man stated a fact! You flamed him!

Weird!

I think his comments are correct-even though we haven't spoken about them:doh:

Weather looks good over here for Sunday....we will go and run the Stroker ute-not that strokers count by the rules that you guys recon stand(your rules, not everyones)-we have 290rwkw now after some more messing around so we will see what mph will stand on Monday......anyone want to predict it?

The thread is about Nizpro's work- Simon was one of the pioneers with LS1 engine development in this country and has obviously done a great job with the 6.4l LS1 that the thread is about......:cheers: (oh yeah he's a really nice guy too) Yeah it's not from Sydney but f$%^ it's fast!!:burnout: Just imagine how much weight they have bolted in with all that roundy roundy stuff on board!

[Red CV8 R]

138mph! :eek: Is that stroked or Forced induction?

[quickcv8]

If it stops raining up in Syd. the planB ute with that 317rwkw N/A 346 should shake things up a little.

Waiting for your next 1/4 mile adventure Pete?

I'm guessing with it being N/A is does not have forced induction

[Red CV8 R]

:doh:

I worry myself sometimes!

[jaenschw]

warwick, what speed did you and the others get at mangalore

On the day (which was very very hot) there was a Starr 6.2 stroker which clocked 230km/h and the Nizpro machine was around mid 220s' km/h. Both were very tough cars!!

:bow:

I could only manage 212km/h. Some standard GenIII's were sneaking into the 190's km/h and there was a bolt-on/tuned GenIII which got into the low 200's km/h. There was a HSV converted Corvette which got 214km/h and one turbo ricer which got around 220km/h!!!

It was a fun day!!!

[strife]

sorry cat12z maybe my above post should have been directed at Plan B :wave:

Mate add another 8mph on top of that and it would be getting close.

thread mine

this threads nearly a year old

[Criso]

Sorry i did not think i was going MAD :bash: :rolleyes:

[dgp]

I know its not THE quickest but Nathan Higgins ran a 124.04MPH and 11.29 down the quarter at the LS1 Nationals.

[Justice R8]

Sorry i did not think i was going MAD :bash: :rolleyes:

I thought are these guys on drugs. There is a heap of cars going quicker than 118mph.

Thanks strife for clearing that up

[Ghosn]

I know its not THE quickest but Nathan Higgins ran a 124.04MPH and 11.29 down the quarter at the LS1 Nationals.

I was wondering when the hell someone was going to point that out !!

:eek:
