STAGEUP

Went out to firebird raceway in Phoenix AZ (1,243ft elevation) last night for a few shakedown runs. I now know that my stock clutch disc is hating life. Time for a new clutch for sure. I was fighting the clutch on the nitrous, and it was pissing me off and my clutch was stinking pretty badly. Anyway, I made one N/A pass, and missed 4th due to driver error. I pulled the shifter towards me, instead of straight down. Oh well. Here it is...

N/A pass
2.060ft
12.63@112mph (missing 4th gear, and shifting the 1-2 and 2-3 at 6500 rpms, yea, I forgot for that split second I had a new cam) Duh.

Best Nitrous pass (still 100 shot)....

2.260ft
12.20@124mph (having to shift like a grandma due to stock clutch acting like a POS, and trying to keep my all season 245/45/18 tires planted during shifts)

All in all, not too shabby. Shes got more in her. But I need a new clutch and DRs, and a cold air intake (since my stock airbox looks to be killing some hp) before I can head back. I'll post vids and time slip later today

Were you spraying through first gear or did you have it locked out? Hell of a mph on spray.

Nice times. What are you "kinda stock" mods?

rand49er

Trade those 60 ft times, and you'd be knocking on the 11-sec door!

Nice!

+1 for that MPH.

Good times.



I must be missing something I dont get the 6500rpm comment. did you have your rev limited moved up with the new cam ?

****... with that trap speed on the nitrous... youre good for a low 11 and maybe a high 10 pass if you can cut a 1.5 60 ft without breaking anything...

I was running 11.90's in my 96 LT4 vette i had awhile back and only trapping at 118mph but my 60's were legit on drag radial and not having to worry about breaking the rear end...

Yea, my n/a shift points are at 6900 rpms. I was shifting at 6500 on the 1-2 and 2-3 shifts. I took the 3-4 shift up to 6900, but ended up missing 4th gear and running a 12.6@112 mph.

Thanks guys. I have more plans for this month. I plan go faster, so I will be building some custom stuff for my brakes to let me run 16" slicks in the rear.

Here is my slip and a burnout pic...

What kind of cam do you have? I will be getting one here soon and wanted a good setup... How is it as a DD?

Nice, Im thinking ofm raising my limiter alittle more with my setup, Im running pat gold springs.

What valve springs are you running ?

Also is that a 05 diff taking a beating like that ?

STAGEUP

Im running the TSP Magic Stick 3 on a 113 LSA. It drives great, with no stumbling, bucking, or stalling. My wife also has no trouble driving it, in fact, she LOVES driving it. Haa

Idle is great. BUT, I also spent a few hours tuning the drivability side of the tune until I felt the car would have no problems with all around driving habits.

The cam doesnt have much under 3000 rpms, but the 3.73 gearing help with that. After 3,000 rpms, you better get ready to shift because the LS6 revs up super fast.

STAGEUP

Im running PRC gold duals, with comp 7.4" hardened push rods.

Im also running the 3rd Gen 2008 Diff in my V.

STAGEUP

Btw guys, here is my full list of mods and quick info on my afr/timing tables

Magnaflow catback with 14416 magnaflow mufflers
Kooks ceramic headers with off road mids
K&N drop in filter on the stock airbox and stock intake tube
42lb injectors
walbro pump w/rewire kit
UUC flywheel with the stock CTS-V clutch
2006 axles
Custom CNC cradle steel rings
TSP Magic stick 3 cam on a 113 LSA
PRC gold dual valve springs
Comp 7.4 hardened push rods
100hp hidden dry shot for track use.
And a STAGEUP tune with "on the fly adjustable tunes"

I run a super safe 10.8 AFR and 19 degrees of timing at WOT on the nitrous tune shifting at 6600 rpms.

I run a safe 12.8 AFR and 28 degrees of WOT timing on my N/A tune shifting at 6900 rpms.

Are you spraying in first at the track. Car sound slike it runs awesome.....anyway we could get an idle vid? I havent heard the MS3 with a 113lsa before i dont think.

STAGEUP

My window switch activates my n2o at 4800 rpms in first. Then after that, its all about keeping the car straight, and staying off the limiter. HAaa I plan on installing the 150 shot jet this friday, and going back to the track. I'll see.

Here is my idle video...

Seems like more V's are hitting up the track lately, I like it.
