Who has the highest reving LS1

[DebianDog]

I would like to find out what the highest, verifiable, revving LS1/6 is. 12,000 RPMs?

By verifiable I mean, I do not want any "I heard about" or "My friends buddies car". A web site with video and/or sound is preferred ;)

Thanks!

[Bayouvette]

12K? I dont know about that.. I'm no expert, but I wouldnt think there are not too many over 8 if any..

[FastAl]

Check out some of the Futural solid rollers, I know that they have gotten close to 8K if not gone over it.

[SSee Ya]

yeah it would be very difficult to get these motors to rev to 10,000 or more

[speed_demon24]

Hell winston cup, err nextel cup motors only rev to 9500, I doubt an ls1 would even come close.

[C-B64]

mine revs to about 6150 or so..:D

I will raise when i get a cam with LS1 Edit

[thechef]

we used to rev the race car a bit over 7k and that was enough to go 8.93@153:D

[bRa_DeN]

i think anything over 8K is gonna cause some problems;)

Heck my is set to 6400 cuz I kept smacking it with the N2O. Shift at 6200. (I have an upgraded valvetrain) I could go higher but the dyno says it is not worth it.

[morrowss]

Mine is at 6800, shifting at 6700

[bRa_DeN]

when i get tuned i plan on setting my rev limiter to 6500, dont wanna put too much stress on my bottom end:cool:

[SSpray]

Mine is 6800 and I shift at 6700.
I KNOW cars shifting at 7200 with my cam.

Yep.
The shop that put the 2 cars together that were reving to 7200 even laugh at them.
As far as I know they are not reving that high any more. Not because they came apart, just because they relized it would soon.

[bRa_DeN]

7200 rpms on the stock bottom end is just asking for a new motor:eyepop:

[Bad30th]

I've spun mine to 7k on the dyno, and a couple of times at the track :

Still making mucho power up there too, crazy !:drive:

That was before the Holley intake and nitrous.

Stock LS6 bottom end with ~1000 miles on it at the time of dyno. About 10k on it now, valvetrain starting to tick a little but bottom end seems solid. I don't rev it that high regularly. :D

Current King = Bad30th
:kneel:

[Ben]

A good friend of mine has a solid-roller car that he shifts at 8,200 RPM.

[SSpray]

I heave read a stock LS6 will wind to 7000 with no modifications, other than removing the rev. limiter.

Mecanicly mine will go to 7200, but I wont do that, I'm happy with 6800

[Bayou Boy]

There's a White SS in St.Francisville that launches at 6800-rpm and spins well into the 7's

Sigh... Please, like I said.

Does he have a dyno?

[03ToRcHrEdVeTtE]

Can someone beat that?

[Mike98WS6]

I shift no higher than 6,800 rpm's.

[Bad30th]

Wheeeee, I win ! :cool:

Haha, I know I'm not the highest, c'mon fellas... There have to be lots of folks going past 7k...

Well at least the power is steady at 275... :p

[1999Z28M6]

I read JRods limiter is set at 7100 and he launches off of it. :D :cool:

[1 Bad Ram Air]

your shift points would depend on the cam you are using. Most cams quite making the power around 6800-7000 unless your cam is really hugh. Then you have to consider the bottom end and how long you want to keep that going, along with the valve train.

[bodhi]

I bounce off of the 6800rmp rev limiter the last 50 feet of the 1/4 mile.:D
here's the last part of every pass I make
shift into 4th.......
BAP! BAP! BAP! BAP! BAP! BAP! BAP! BAP! BAP! BAP! BAP! BAP! BAP! .... shut down- BRAKE!!!! hope to make the second turn off


Nothing like short tires and tall gears!!!

[Bad30th]

Had to revive this thread from the dead when I saw this post from "SlyWS6" on LS1tech :

http://images.cardomain.com/member_images/5/web/389000-389999/389999_79_full.jpg

7400RPMs and "balls as big as church bells". Stock bottom end. Later on in this thread the motor locks up at the track.

He says the tach is off and it never went above 7000-7100, but STILL !!! Heh.

Happy driving,
Bad30th
