L99

[Eduk8r]

I have seen on several threads reference to the "slow" L99's. What are they talking about?

L99 is the V8 used in the Automatic. Still a 367 but smaller intake and Exhaust. The LS3 you will find on the Stick shift and has about 26 more HP

The L99s that had the 'slows' were finally found out that they were running on the low fuel table because of low octane fuel. There is plenty of info here, just do a search. Check the sticky in the L99/LS3 forum.

Thats all on the driver. Depends on reaction time and etc.. Notice the LS3 had higher speed. So just the reaction time, with optimizing Shifting to get best acceleration.

The L99 requires a lot less accuracy and skill to get the good times. Just punch it and go. It can be improved on but it's a lot easier to power brake and punch.

Remember, your time doesn't start until you go. Unless you're racing start to finish.

I went from a best run 0-60 of 6.1 to a 5.0 best run. And I had run it no less than 300 times. Quarter went from 14.7 to a best of 13.27
