I run E85 on sub 600 lift cam and boost, think my rev limiter is at 7250 RPM, I shift at 6900ish. I did the 7250 for 0-60 bragging rights with M6 as there is no shifting needed given my slightly taller tires drag radials.. cheeezzeee I know, just say it is very close to C8 times... There is no reason to push the engine that high, mine was a specific objective.

I generated my own torque curve and ran it through some optimization calculators, and it came up with right at 7000 rpms, I think you need at least 250 rpms (if your shift MPH's are right on) to not hit the rev limiter if your tires lose traction in 1st and you have to upshift.

The only way to get close or under 3.0 0-60 with 100 wear tires is to not shift on the M6, this can be done on the Zl1's M6 (different first gear), other than 0-60 times, there is little reason to rev the engine past 7000 RPM. A 1LE in a tight road race may carry that RPM in some situations probably in 2nd or 3rd. Back to 0-60 times no matter how good you are at shifting IMO of course, 3.6 to 3.8 is about the best you can do M6 0-60 and shifting 1st to 2nd.

Are you running on stock exhaust with stock cats?

Best I could do was 3.13, thats with rollout. I have never been able to put down full traction with a brake stall. This is stock converter NT555R2's. I even tried 3.73 gears and results were basically exactly the same, I couldn't really tell if I was spinning more with 3.73s but I think I was.

Is this your opinion on a street car or the lt in general? some of the fastest ls people I know spin their junk to over 8000rpm. These are 99% strip cars.

Besides the valvetrain what is the other weak links?

i did multiple 3.8 in an 18 1LE, all stock with exception to full exhaust, ported stock intake manifold and tune. i have no doubt the car is capable of harder launches:

a) not on a broken county road
b) with more power
c) with a smaller diameter, sticky tire

Need to use a dragy and not the performance page to measure 0-60.

My best so far from a second gear launch on the street is 3.05 or 2.84 with rollout like the C8 performance page measures. That's how they are reporting such good 0-60 times.

I think the performance page on the Camaro reports out with NHRA rules? I know I always thought it didn't use 1 foot rollout because I heard someone else say it didn't (but maybe that was on C7) anyway it always perfectly matches the Draggy's 1 foot rollout time though?

I was never able to get full traction with my NT555R2s, I always have to let it roll out for about .25-.5 seconds before I go full throttle. Funny enough I think this was my fastest 1/8th mile and this was right before it decided to eat its own intake valve haha

Also anyone know anyway I can change the title to this thread? I was going to change it to broken stock intake valve seats, so at least someone else could locate it easier through a search?

If you edit your initial post with the advanced editor (press the "Go Advanced" button after clicking "Edit"), it'll allow you to change the title. I do this all the time with my classifieds.

Thanks, I changed it so it will help someone find it if they are searching for things on the topic. I know I have never heard of valve seats, especially intake valve seats, failing when putting in a cam or after a valve job or even on stock LT1 applications.

Yea 6th gen performance page doesn't use roll out but you can "trick" it to get better times with some wheel spin due to the performance page using wheel speed vs time instead of gps vs time like the Dragy. So it's more accurate in that regard.

I have to do the same thing on the street. I brake stall to 2k rpm, let off brake, let it roll out a bit then put it to the floor from second gear. That has netted me a 1.75 60ft, 6.9 @ 107mph in the 1/8.
