My twin turbo Z06 ran 8.83 on Saturday I improved upon my personal best a little bit on Saturday. I ran an 8.83 @ 151 (8.88 was my previous best). I made six 8 second passes at the Corvette Challenge.
Here are some videos from Saturday:
Chasing a guy with a 5 second head start
8.83 @ 151 mph video - new personal best
8.90 @ 151 mph video
8.89 @ 150 mph video
Fairly consistent times for an 8 second turbo car. I ran 8.87 on an 8.85 dial in Round 1 but I red lighted by -.007 (see first video)

Good observation. He broke out by nearly 2 tenths.
No, I haven't driven this car on the street since the Spring but I'm working on putting a full exhaust back on the car and registering it as a collector car so I don't get my ***** busted. And I need new wheels with biggest DOT tires that will fit the car. My car is not tubbed so I'm somewhat restricted in tire sizes.

Yeah i was wondering about driving on the street with a glide. I'm building a 1600 hp trans am and can't decide what to do with the tranny b/c i want to drive it on the street some. Do you have any pics of your turbo set up that you could link up?

I used to run FAST because the new BS3 wasn't out yet. But I switched to BS3 this year. What a great move that was. And John provides great support. He even did a little custom work to my unit.

Nice runs... that C5 is hauling some serious ***. I watched the first video and your car sounds like a jet approaching.
A Th200-4R is a TH350 with overdrive..... not even in the same class as a TH400. If you want overdrive a 4L80E would be the only thing I would even think about putting behind it. That is a TH400 with overdrive and there is a car running 9.10's@150mph+ with one (built by W2W and LS2 370/T-88).
You can put $4K+ into a built TH200-4R and once they get past the low 10's they still are prone to breakage. I was into GN's for many many years. For the 10's they are great... faster than that and they don't last long.

Thanks...
I have only done a TH350, a mopar 727 truck, tranfer cases, muncie and DSM manuals...
I got my 200R4 core from a special carry it x feet and its dirt cheap day at a yard... Nice having a brother about 5-7 and 250#'s no fat...
Any links to no holds barred hard parts for the 4L80E...
I suppose I can try to buy the gearsets from a rossler 210 seperate....
If I cant do that I guess some of the TH400 billet stuff will work in some places on the trans...
Either that or build up a dang allison..

You would just carry weight for the 12 bolt Paul.
No flames but I hear the Viper turnout for that event is pretty minimal. Hope you change your mind.
Next season put a Tremec in there, wouldn't that be wild...
