Default Took the GT55 Turbo Z06 to the track tonight...

Took the car out for some low boost testing... we changed the waste gate springs out to 8.7lb springs and ran on 9lbs of boost tonight.

60's were much better, running a best of 1.34 and a worst of 1.41 on the full passes.

ET's were doing pretty good for the power we were running as well... the full passes were between 9.12 and 9.19. We did have a couple of early partial passes that were only 10.2 and 9.8 but once I got comfortable with the new setup it was very consistant.

We will be out again next weekend and plan on ramping up the boost to see what the car will do.

tonights best run was 9.12@154 with a 1.34 60'

I will get videos up in the next few days.

Thanks to the guys from IPS for coming out and helping me get the car down the track! was a great time. Not bad for 91 degrees out

The trap and et is great! But I am more impressed with the 1.34 60 ft. What suspension/tire combo do you have to make that setup hook?

Some 1.2s are in your future. Very nice runs for such low boost.

I would have to say that was a successful first outing with really respectable low boost numbers. Congrats!

Seriously, 154mph traps with 9psi is just banana's. At full boost, car should hit low 8's with 165mph+ when you get it all worked out.

Yeah I mean it's fast, and it looks good, and it makes a ton of power, and it's super expensive, and it doesn't look like you cut any corners BUT...


Yeah I got nothing I'm just jealous.
