time slip form the track

[97z28swap]

hey i just was able to get up to the track and i got a 13.9 1/4 at 97.76mph

it is a stock 97 lt1 with 38,000 in the engine auto trans. the only thing done to it is an exaust and it is in a truck but it is about 3500lbs.

does anyone know what a stock 97 z28 does in the quater mile? i just want to see how it would match up

A 1997 LT1 Camaro would run similar times. 13.7-13.9. Just curious, what kind of truck?

13.91 @ 97MPh is very good for a stock LT1. My best run (4 years ago) was a 13.98 @101MPh on my '94 with 3:73's and Ram Air.

I haven't taken it to the track since, this summer looks like a possibility.

yea it seems right, in my 95 i got 13.89 @ 102.5, with an exaust intake n a bunch of the free mods.

I want to see images of this truck!

Yeah, you're right on track with stock LT1 Fbody times. Average is 13.7-14.2 Most fall right in the middle of that range. My vert ran 13.81 with a muffler, & CAI.

it is a 1995 s-10 standard cab 6 foot bed
i have some pics but they say they are too big how do you get them on?

My best run when bone stock:

60' 2.121
1/8 et 9.0
1/8 mph 80.097
¼ et 13.878
¼ mph 101.057

Being that it is in a truck, that might explain the slower trap speed. Areodynamics do play an important part.

yeahthat is true my 60 foot time was 2.064

What kind of auto transmission are you using?

[97z28swap]

trans

the stock trans from the car. it is the 4l60e i think thats the name of it. it is all stock no mods to the trans

was that with the tailgate up, down, or removed?

[97z28swap]

gate was up
couldnt take it down

[Injuneer]

Interesting tech bit in the new Road & Track on the aerodynamics of leaving the tailgate up or down. Surprisingly, only one particular Ford truck showed reduced drag with the tailgate down. Most had higher drag coefficients with the tailgate down, and it got even worse if you removed the tailgate completely. The big drag reducer was a tonneau cover.
