That's awesome, didn't realize it was a new ZR1! The GM LSx engines were made for boost!

1320..WOW! Do you have a website or something?
That van is nuts!

No web site....I run a small business, but I stay busy enough without advertising. A few friends(the one that made the video) has wanted me to have a web site for awhile. He even made one, we just never hosted it anywhere.
The van turned out nice, basically perfect. I want mine to be the same just more. Im putting a 6.0 lq4 in a sand rail now with a s475 turbo. It weights about 1800 lbs no pass, and should make every bit of 600, through a shorty glide.
Besides the van, I have lots of neat projects.....a srt4 neon powered 54 henry J, abs, 4 wheel discs, ac, dash etc....
Oh, if you ever want to find me, just search 1320......Im 1320 on more boards then I can remeber, mostly ls1tech, turbo buick, deisel truck sites, hayabusa.org etc..

You definitely need to post these other cars--the Henry J sounds nuts.
The van is amazing. I'd tend to expect those results only out of a diesel, since they put up huge numbers without heavy mods.
Good to see that you popped in.

1320, Hope you picked up some more customers from the defeated. Would've loved to have been a fly on the wall in the ZR-1 on the return road. Can't wait to see vids of your van's escapades.

am I the only one surprised that so many "fast" cars got taken down by a 13 second van?
Especially the evos... my friend had a stock turbo evo with little more than your average bolt ons and he was running a 12.8.
I'd also like to know how long the factory AWD will handle that kinda abuse.

Drivetrains are temporary. Glory is forever.
(Okay, well not internet glory. But you get the idea.)

stock evos in vegas run 14.5 and slower....in the summer.
100 degree heat, da's of 5500 and higher...and suck track.

Wasn't there an episode of Pinks with a late-model Astro with an LS1 and a lot of nitrous? I thought that thing was running 11s or faster.

I've been saying this for years. After you own a full-sized van, standard SUV's look stupid.

I'm with you. It took me a very long time to wear out my first one ('82 Chevy ~quarter million miles), and now I have an E150 Ford cargo van to replace it. You can work out of it, or live in it.
SUVs are just glorified station wagons, and I'd rather have a Vista Cruiser.....
