@@youngotterking5450 I still have it but put the motor and trans into this car. I'll put it back together once I have more time and a larger workspace.

@@JunkRacecars sick, thanks you. Love the Pontiac

hahahaha I tried to honk but I forgot my horn doesn't work

@@JunkRacecarssaw that, haha

My exhaust broke on pit out and was wayyyyy too loud so I had to drive a whole lap slow AF to pit back in 😂

Passing without a point-by is how you get thrown out of the event

Yes, I would expect the advanced class to have advanced drivers. Dude is obviously lost.

Sorry you do see where you clearly pasted New bmw owners at the track day? Are you saying your track allows random people without proof into the advanced class?

@@camrongoodall New as in modern. Guys with older sorted BMWs seem to have no problems out there. And this was a Track Night in America event so there's no vetting. Anyone can sign up for advanced and unfortunately a lot of people with more money than talent think they're too good for intermediate.

@@JunkRacecars that's not good maybe petition your track to have higher standards?

@@camrongoodall It's not the track, it's the organization and I already gave them that feedback.

Tough to say since it's driver dependent, but my guess is that I'd be a little faster in an SS1LE if I got an opportunity to track one a bunch. Pros compared to my Bird are more power, much wider tires, electronic nannies (eLSD, ABS, traction control, stability control, revmatching), IRS, and a more rigid chassis. The only cons are more weight and macpherson struts on the front. My car is going to feel a lot more raw/analog in comparison and makes the driver work harder since it's basically a big V8 gokart. I plan on adding more power and wider tires in the future since my current setup is a little conservative.

@@epicduck0067 I have a spacer on the throttle pedal that extends it towards the brake

@@wideopenthrottle1165 long tubes, ORY, and a 3" catback with a FlowFX muffler (straight-thru Magnaflow knockoff), single exit on the driver side

Honestly.... I hated the feel of them as they were kinda vague at the limit. They do take a lot of punishment though and last forever, but they will heat cycle out well before the tread is gone. I'm on RE71RS now and I like them a lot more, but wish I got the CRS since they'll last longer. I managed a 14.6 in my latest vid on the Bridgestones though so I'm happy.

Motor has a very mild cam and mild port work so around 350whp, but I do short shift at 5.2k also. I believe I was on Raybestos ST43 pads on the front and Hawk HPS rear in this vid, but I have different stuff now. Suspension is Ridetech coilovers on the front, Koni yellow shocks and BMR springs rear, 35mm front sway, Spohn rear LCAs, Founders panhard, and UMI torque arm.

Everything here is freeware

Are you planning on tracking it? I was actually planning on swapping to 3.23 gears once I add more power. I end up in 5th gear a lot on track which isn't good for the trans since the 5-6 cluster gear splines get really loose.

@@JunkRacecars yeah. I guess I'd be more concerned about the diff blowing up than the trans. Even the Borg T56 is a pretty stout unit. I have pretty decent acceleration in a clapped out bone stock LT1. My car easily walks past a 2019 WRX STI that my friend owns.

@@ethanpeschman4458 Gotcha, yeah the diff is definitely a liability but mine has been OK so far. I think the girdle/cover is helping it stay together. I don't have to worry about breaking the teeth as much since my gears are stock ratio atm, but you're probably fine with stock power and 4.56s. The T56 is pretty tough in gears 1-4, but 5-6 could be better due to the mainshaft splines and the tiny fork. Just try not to hammer it too much in OD.

​@@JunkRacecarswhat speed are you clocking on the start/finish straight? Also 3.23 is gonna be a dog. And your car will max out 4th gear at 155 at 6500 which is just not really necessary. A 4.10 would be good for you. 4th hits 132 at 6500rpm

@@ethanpeschman4458 It depends on the track, but I'm usually in the low/mid 130s. My 355, some weight reduction, and better tires for more exit speed would probably put me in the mid 140s at Watkins Glen. I also run a shorter tire that's 25" (vs 25.5" stock), so that would put me at 6.3k @ 145 with 3.23 gears. I don't think shorter gearing is always a good thing since it can knock you out of the powerband pretty easily in road racing. The RPM drop from 4->5 is a bit steeper than other gears and would fall from 6.3k to 4.6k with the motor I'm building. Looking at some typical H/C dyno charts tells me that would be like losing 60-70whp, plus I'm losing time shifting instead of accelerating. I don't think it's worth it tbh.

Sounds like a pretty hot setup! What do you think is weird in the rear? Does it feel unpredictable and snappy? Could be the poly as it dries out super fast. I highly recommend checking out a Track Night in America event if you wanna get a taste. I got hooked on it immediately lol. They also send out coupon codes if you sign up for the newsletter.

I gotta get back out there in the dry so I can get my braking points down. Really love the track though! I should be there with Gridlife in October.

Yeah, I have a pedal spacer on the throttle that extends it down and towards the brake pedal. It's a 3D printed piece that's about 5/8" thick. I put the left half of my foot on the brake and roll my pinky toe onto the throttle to blip it. I wear Vans skate shoes and tie the laces tight so it's pretty easy. Spacer looks like this and the throttle pedal aligns with the top right corner and right edge: imgur.com/BeNagA4

I don't really get brake hop in this car, but you can definitely induce brake hop if you don't heel toe.

@JunkRacecars Ok, that makes sense. When I used narrow driving shoes I 100% couldn't do it. Looks like I'll be making a spacer then, thanks.

Will do! I've actually been thinking about doing a vid like that for a while

Nah lol, the cammaster just sits unfortunately until I have time to put it back together. I daily a 94 Caddy Fleetwood with an LT1 though lol.

@@JunkRacecars hey that's cool, those are great cars! I'd imagine you're planning to T56 swap it like you've done your other B body? unless that has already happened :p

@@mightyjoebean Nope lol, I plan on keeping it pretty stock except for some towing mods like gears and better coolers. Plan is to use it to pull my track car around.

@@JunkRacecars I see, that's pretty smart. I'd like to see an update video of your current collection of LT1 powered vehicles. you've got a good fleet so far :p

I still have it, but the motor and trans are in my Bird. It'll probably get turned into a champcar at some point.

Thanks! I'll be going back in a couple weeks with NETC to see if I can shave 2s or so since I ran a 33.4 last year on the old pavement with the same setup. I keep hearing the new track is 2-3s faster but I haven't gotten used to the changes yet. Hopefully the weather is good for both of us!

@@JunkRacecars same to you! Yeah I didn’t notice much of a gain in performance with the new pavement. But running the same tires as last year so they may be slowing down (kuhmo v730).

@@kcspeed9980 I was thinking the same thing! My RS4s have been on the car for about a year with 5 TNIAs and 6 full DE days of wear, wouldn't be surprised if the heat cycling is starting to creep in. Unfortunately most 200tw tires are backordered atm, so I guess we gotta lock in lol.

@@JunkRacecars Exactly! I have enough driver-mod and “other” stuff to do so I’m not worried. Getting the parts together for a big break upgrade. Hopefully we meet up at a future event! I’ve got a bmw but I’m a diehard Pontiac man! Sold my 67 tempest to get my track car.

Track Night in America is probably the cheapest way to get out there, but there are occasionally other clubs that have decent deals. Look up HPDE events on Motorsportreg and find something instructed in your area.

@@JunkRacecars thanks man!

@@JunkRacecars also heck of a lap. I Barely put that down on gran turismo vr lol

@@nicholasdaniel9496 I've been meaning to try VR racing for practice, I'll have to pick up a used headset or something. Reaaaaaally wish I could play the new GT, but I only have a PC and was stuck using FM8 (it sucks).

It is together and driveable, but the tune still needs work and the trans started giving me shit. I ended up doing a Holley Termi X setup and have a built T56 w/viper shaft to put in, just haven't gotten around to fully sorting it. My track car takes up all of my time.

NM. Saw down the comments you had 3.90's.

@@kyledonaldson6439 Yeah 3.90s, but I also run a 1" taller tire on the rear so they're like 3.73s on stock tire height

What's up?

I need help lol some years ago you postedtunerpro of ab lt1 but said it wouldn't work on a corvette. Why not? I put a cam in my 95 lty vette and I need to reprogram but don't knkw what to "tune" to make it right. Any way you may know what tuner pro setup I need and what to tune. Only the cam is different they said it will fuel wrong as I recall

@@fireman66767 I said I wasn't sure because the LT1 vette uses a different pcm, but it looks like $EE covers the 333 pcm too. It should be the same as tuning any other cammed car.

Tbh I thought about using it as a drift missile or champcar one day, but that would be well into the future. I need a house and bigger workspace before it gets resurrected.
