Default A&A S/C LS3 with A6 Tranny goes 9s in TX....

Well, mother nature decided to bless Texas with a cold front this weekend. First time we have had a DA below 3200ft in months, so we just had to hit Dallas Raceway for some TnT.

2008 Corvette with Widebody Kit and C6Z Brake Kit.
AKA: Black Bullet

LS3 Bottom End
LS3 Heads and Gaskets

A&A V3 T-trim with BIG Dongle (:rofl
ARH 1 7/8" Offroad 3" Pipes
Corsa C6Z 3" Mufflers
Alky Control Meth Kit-Single Nozzle
A&A Inline Fuel System
Resurrection Motor Sports 2 BAR SD Tune
RMS S/C Cam 23x/24x .6xx .6xx
Circle D 6L80 Tranny
FTI 3600 Stall - Single Disc

Tire Pressures:
Front - 50psi hot
Rear - 12psi hot

Suspension:
Pfadt Inverted Adjustable Sport Shocks
Front 0 clicks
Rear 2 clicks

3 runs for the night.

Run #1 was big burnout and amazing 1/8 mile, but after that the steering wheel started jerking side to side like I've never felt before. (felt like "caster slap" on a bike) Had to abort run on big end. (6.19@109mph in the 1/8)

Run #2 was awesome holeshot on the Foxbody that called me out for a race. Car did "caster slap" again on big end and I tried to drive thru it and nearly crapped my pants using up all of my lane and nearly clipping the reflector blocks near finish line. :*****: (.009 R/T, 1.42 60ft, 9.85@132mph in 1/4) Felt like Active Handling was pulsing brakes side to side.

Run #3 had tune turned up, suspension, and tires all dialed in and last car to run for the night. Car felt amazing on the hit and only swayed on the big end without any of the strange "caster slap". Grabbed the timeslip and started yelling at the cows in the field. :woohoo:

1.44 60ft
6.16@112mph
9.55@144mph

It was a lot of fun and all the hard work we put into this vette, finally paid off with a awesome night at the track. And I was still able to drive it back to my shop 50mins away without getting pulled over.
