so... bad day to go to the track and try and get a feel for the new setup. They had numerous events going on, so it was busy.The ride was over 2 hrs in traffic and then over 1 hr in tech. We gave the car about a 15 minute cool down and went for it.

car just turned 1000 miles on the trip up to the track
1/2 tank of 93 BP
race weight..I would say 4K

tires were M&H 345/35/18 : http://www.mandhtires.com/store.php?...on=show_detail

2 runs is what I got...Jim got one off and Dan had a clutch pedal on the floor issue.

#1 tried a 3800ish launch with a smooth, but quick clutch release which resulted in a little spin and hop which I quickly pedaled through. I power shifted at approx 6500 ( stock tach ), but it did not seem to like the power shift at times...slight hesitation since I think the flare would hit the limiter. I tried to run out 3rd gear, but just short of the stripe the car nosed over from the limiter.

2.1 60ft
91 1/8
12.38
119.5

#2 was about 1 hr after the above mentioned clutch pedal stuck on the floor for Dan I decided to try it again. The hood stayed shut for the time it was sitting and the clutch still had a horrible smell. I worked the car through staging for about an hr and then finally got the second run. I came out at approx 3200 ( worried about clutch ) with a quick, but smooth clutch release again and had just a touch of spin/hop and stayed in it. The run felt good here...did not power shift 1-2 and shifted about 6200 on all gears + pulled 4th this time.


1.84 60ft
93 1/8
11.87
118.4

We really feel a gear or shorter tire would really help the car work well both on the front and back of the track

so we are very happy with the car considering lack of time last night to get a feel for the car. I am going back out tomorrow and hope to better the ET.

very impressive for such a heavy big car.

thanks

We are happy with the results for the first outing. I can't wait to add the exhaust, more boost and hopefully a wheel/tire setup.

Sunday results

I got the 60ft figured out pretty well at least for yesterday.

4100ish rpm with a smooth quick release

1.71
1.72

We got another new best ET with the car as well.

11.80@117

The above run was after about a 1/2 hr cool down after a 1+ hr. drive.

race weight 4070 with a 1/4 tank of fuel

We need some weight reduction and more power a.s.a.p

Not a bad time for something so damn heavy. Looking forward to seeing what it does with the next round of mods.

awesome Larry ....but like you said a smaller tire will do wonders and some major weight loss

Nice results Larry, I can bring my 315 MT DRs on 17x11 ZR1s with me the next time I come out if ya want to try a shorter tire.

LS1 SPEED

iTrader: (22)

yes..it's a tank

We will try the 26' tires off Tom's Z06 next time out. We hope to do a pulley swap and re-tune by the end of the week

I think with more boost and the exhaust we can go low 11's..if the clutch can keep up.

Nice job Larry. I will be watching this thread I'm sure you guys will have those et's dropping with smaller wheels and exhaust.

LS1 SPEED

thanks Jeff

The Innovators West 10% overdriven crank pulley is on and 3.8 blower pulley will be swapped for a 3.6 tomorrow. We hope to see around 10 psi.

still stock exhaust

We have to get some injectors before we retune since the ones supplied were at 96%.

We have some BFG's to try which a customer so nicely donated as well.

275/35/18 and these will be almost 2" shorter and look goofy, but should get the job done

hope to hit the track again next week if we can get injectors and on the dyno Friday

Went to the track Friday night and the air wasn't great (high humidity). we were fighting traction all night. heel hop didn't seem to be as much of an issue with the shorter rear tires vs the 28" tall d.r.'s we ran before.

The mph shows decent improvement in the humid air, but the e.t. wasn't matching up with the mph no matter what we tried.

best two runs of the night were as follows:

me driving:

60' - 1.84
1/8 mph - 96.69
1/4 et - 11.72
1/4 mph - 122.59

Larry driving:

60' - 1.88
1/8 mph - 97.27
1/4 e.t. - 11.70
1/4 mph - 122.43

we got to the track after 2 hours of driving, paid, got through tech right away and only had a half hour cool down. that was the longest the car sat to cool the whole night. there were no super long cool downs, no icing the blower, or any of that non-sense. i even hot lapped the car a couple times as i was trying to just get a feel for the car as i had not even sat in the thing until that night. ha.

the 11.70 run me and larry were side by side lol i gave him the hit (we were not racing) This car moves for the weight and being stick. car should go mid 11.x with a good 60 full weight. Very sweet shop car.

MPH looks good for bottom 11's keep it going Larry you'll get there.

LS1 SPEED

iTrader: (22)

yes..it's all in the 60 with this tank now. We should see some mid 120s MPH with better air and a cooled down car as well.

Good times, seems to be coming along, hopefully the cooler air coming will help out, keep us posted!

We put the 28" M&H tires back on for tomorrows testing. We got an update from HP Tuners this week which has helped out with some TM we were still seeing on shifts.

I'm going to be running the car hard tomorrow looking for some good ET. The weather looks good and should give us some o.k air tomorrow.

I will post the results tomorrow night.
