Chevrolet Performance LSX Challenge Series and LSX Shootout - Did BESstrokedNova reset the 6spd. record?

I know BESstrokednova ran an 8.8 last night, isn't that a 6pd. record?

If not that thing is hauling ass for sure, he sure can bang those gears out!

He was gettin it for sure. Congrats Charlie. you worked hard on this car. It really shows all over. The motor looks sick!

It looked great going down the track.

Yes he did went 8.98 and a 8.85

All I know it was badass and awesome wheelie but sucks that he lost because of the wheelie.

That guy can drive!!!!!

Yes he did went 8.98 and a 8.85

great job getting the car dialed in richie. its gonna fly when you guys can keep the car off the bumper.

great driving chuck. gonna have to order some new seat covers to get rid of that stain you prob left in them hope it didnt hurt anything bad on the car coming down.

thanks guys! it was a lot of hard work! We set the car up on kill, and I guess it showed, little to much power and its on the bumper. Its a fine line and we crossed it! LOL

Everything seems ok on the car so far.

Awesome, loved seeing reel most everyone in on the big end.

Nice passes, and congrats on the record. It was great meeting you.

Hell yeah man!!!!

Damn dude ur last pass made my day lol, i was standing in the lanes with the arh camaro and i seen that car come right up on the bumper and bounce off of it and then scrapr again and i said to my buddy thats the meanest 6speed launch ive ever witnessed.. And then sparks flew from underneath when it came down and i was hoping u had the save ur ass bars... But damn i dont know how u stayed in that lol

^^ Thats shitty also.

Damn nice work Congrats..

Hope you got some vids!!!
More info on the setup please?

wow 8.85, congrads! didn't catch it any passes.
someone post some vids.

I know BESstrokednova ran an 8.8 last night, isn't that a 6pd. record?

If not that thing is hauling ass for sure, he sure can bang those gears out!

Record is 8.69.
I hear alot of people gunning for that 8.6 but mostly just chatter unlike BES who is actually closing in on it. Nice runs.

Here is the Video I got of the run. Ignore the poor quality.

I hear alot of people gunning for that 8.6 but mostly just chatter unlike BES who is actually closing in on it. Nice runs.

I am sticking to the record from a trans that actually had all 6 gears inside of it and working.

Real Quick setup info.

Stock style susp from Burkhart chassis, all bolt on in stock location. no rear coil overs either. Got every susp part they offer.

Motor is a BES(engine masters winners 2 years running) Built 6.0L truck block(02 model) eagle 4.100 crank, eagle rods, wiseco pistons. All Pro hurricane cathedral port heads(ported to a 245cc runner) REV stainless valves(no hollow stems here) Comp Cams custom solid roller spec'd by Tony at BES 27x/28x 7xx/7xx 110lsa. T&D Shaft Rockers Edelbrock Super victor port matched, but not fully ported cause I ran out of money at time of engine build. Nitrous Pro flow single spray bar , 4150 to 4500 adapter plate kit. 4500 accufab TB.

Trans is a Tick performance built, Liberty faceplated STOCK MN6 gears. Cyro treat and REM polished, Viper shafted. Mcleod Sof Loc Clutch 10.5". Quick Time bell. PST Chrome moly driveshaft. Moser 9" back braced(no fab 9" here) 3.5" off each side. Moser through bolt alum center, alum spool, 4.30 gears.

28x10.5 stiff wall Micky's

a Special thanks goes out to my Tuner, Richard Kolb:hail: From BES Racing engines. He is their dyno operator, and has been the biggest help on getting this car down the track. We use the FACTORY computer/harness from a LS1 M6 F body, Tuned with EFI Live.

and I might just go for the 8.69 record so no one can bitch about it:) just if the front end would stay on the ground!

That's a Very impressive setup, and times man! Congrats on everything! It was fun watching you run down the track. :)

Congrats man! Very respectible setup and times for sure, hard to believe an alum spool is holding up to those launches lol keep us posted after you get her settled down :drive:

Hell ya!!!

That a boy..

Nice work CP

Congrats again, I wish I had more time to get the bugs figured out in my car and we could have had a better Round run race.

I think I will be calling Liberty soon.... Just ran out of time and money this year putting the car back together.

Goodluck going for it.

Congrats Charlie! I have been telling people for years you're the best 6spd driver I know!

dang 8.8@153 rowing the gears, hats off son.

and Be sure to call Tick, Johnathon will take care of you.

I wonder if anyone got a good pic of me dragging the bumper??

I wish i woulda had my camera out.for that last run, it woulda been my new avatar lol, im pissed i didnt though lol

That right there my friend, is damn impressive if I can say so. Your car revs so quick and clean at the line before you rolled in to stage to clean it out. When it came up on the 2 step, that sound, oh that sound lol. That thing is mean for sure.

I hope you can go faster too and get a new PB, but I'd be pretty satisfied if I were you banging those gears out each pass like that, I bet that's one helluva ride/rush.

how do you know huneycutts car didnt have all 6 gears? did you build his transmission? And lets be real, even if they were there would you use them anyway? No.

Not the point of a true t-56 6 speed record when its a 4 speed so your point is invalid. :guns:

It is valid, if you only use 4 gears of your 6 speed what does it matter if the other two are even in the case? the only reason they weren't was so the trans could be easily disassembled.

and Be sure to call Tick, Johnathon will take care of you.

I will, I have one of their first master cylinder set ups

Its a record he his going for T56 6 speed record not t56 4 speed. Who knows if he gets the record then he mite take out 5th and 6th and save weight, But wouldnt meet the record "rules" with a 4 speed.

it would still be a 6 sped if he only used 4 of them going down the track correct? Then what does it matter if they are there or not? The time would of been the same weather they were in there or they werent. so quit looking for excuses for someone elses car.

Not excuses, Just knowing that the t56 6 speed record requirments all 6 gears. Other than that yeah for a full blown race car remove the two. And the car ran real street, so It may just be a class rule.

getting a little rough coming from someone with a glide....

I mean, fine I'll take 2nd to LS1Joe, but my trans is STILL TOGETHER, and its got about 75 passes on motor, and about 18 on spray. Never been apart yet. and Yes I have driven the car down the street and used 5th and 6th gear. ohh and I use Reverse every time I back the car out of my pit spot.

Did everyone jump Tanners ass like this for when he said he had the record?

Lol....

Hoosier daddy

6 speeds rule if u can drive them

We need to hook uP sometime

Should have my project out to
Orp n a few weeks. I c ther open til thanksgiving this yr
Thats a first
We always have good weather til then

Harvest is about over time to play

Even if the gears were there the time would not change. Therefore, the record SHOULD stay in tact. It was still a T56 weather the gears were there or not. This so called "6 speed record" might as well be a 4 speed record because no one in their right mind would use a T56's 5th or 6th going down the dragstrip.

The time would of been the same weather they were in there or they werent.

I beg to differ on that point. Otherwise, why take them out, hmm?

I already explained this. They were removed for ease of disassembly. The only thing that might of slowed him down a tad (not 2 tenths) would have been the rotational mass. And even that only would have been a few hundredths at best.

Again, beg to differ. Just from the experience I have of what happens removing ONE gear (fifth from a T5), it's worth more than a few hundreths, no matter how you want to downplay it. Joe Schmoe might believe that rotational mass isn't important, but remember, there are some real-deal serious drag racers here who have a pretty good grip on just how important all of that really is. Especially inside the transmission.....

Just my 2 cents....

you got anything positive to say?

glad i got to watch some of your runs charlie that car was scootin for sure! you drive the hell out of that car.

finally got video uploaded.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6xeBDaC4pc

if honeycutt is trying to break a 6 speed record i think he should have all 6 gears plus reverse in tact and working, even if you dont ever use them at the track. drive train mass can be pretty measurable especially when your only using 4 gears. i can see it picking up a good amount of e.t, so if hes really concerned about the record put all the gears back in it and then try and break it and everybody is happy.

any amount of weight makes a difference!

Awesome vid!

Holy crap! Treed the hell out of him. Nothing like a primer gray 4th gen spankin a 150K dollar car with the backing of Lingenfelter.

Badass video BES. Cool talking to you for a minute and seriously one if not my favorite car at the event pretty much all the gear bangers are lol. And Damn nastychevelle you are consistently retarded, Its A stock style 6 speed recorded and BES is the holder now. The ease of disassebly is just a bonus. Less gears/rotation weight more power being transfered thru the trans pretty simple. If I didnt care about a record and had a race car myself would not have the 2 gears to save weight and mass of out of the trans again pretty simple.

It is valid, if you only use 4 gears of your 6 speed what does it matter if the other two are even in the case? the only reason they weren't was so the trans could be easily disassembled.

So because my 80e is 4 speed OD tranny, but I only use 3 gears down track i should take the OD out?

Makes a lot of sense LOL

Pretty sure to be a 6 speed it needs 6 gears

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KH9ettKtpCo&feature=channel_video_title

It had 6 gears, the last 2 just worent connected to the secondary shaft (again, for ease of removal.)

If it never gets used, (like in a race car, like joes) and aids in ease of removal of the gear set, then yes.

Huneycutt isnt trying to break the 6 speed record, he has it. And there is NO way (since the gears were still in the trans just not connected to the secondary shaft) that it would lose anymore than a few hundredths if it was connected.

Huneycutts car did go faster anyway you look at it, so its up to you or who every looks at it the 2 cars to decide how they think it is, glass half full half empty,but If charlie goes 8.68 guess theres no glass left

get UNBENT dude. Tired of all your negative bullshit in this thread.

I'll just beat Joe's record and he wont have it anymore. and then you can stop crying about someone else's record.;)


ohhh and go jump on Tanners ass for claiming he has the record!!

Oh trust me, i was never bent. Just dont claim a record you havent earned.... and ill be the first one to congratulate you when/if you do beat joe's record. And you keep speaking of this "Tanner" person. i dont even know who that is.

head on over to youtube and type in "fastest t56" in the search and his car comes up first.

and I feel like I have earned more than enough to get some credit. I am just a little guy here trying to make do with what I got.

Geez. You might as well use this as a motto. Congrats man, I loved watching the run.

Ill give you credit, your car rolls out. But in my own opinion, I consider joes car to have the record. Your doing a good job chasing it. If you keep it up you have a good chance of beating it.

Car is f'n sick bro, love the vids

How does this "6 Speed record" work? The 8.85 and the 8.69 e.t.'s were both run with modified (faceplated) transmissions.

Power adders are ok, but removing a gear that isn't being used is not ok?

Just curious. No :sack: going on.

Holy crap! Treed the hell out of him. Nothing like a primer gray 4th gen spankin a 150K dollar car with the backing of Lingenfelter.

He never claimed it, I did, I was uninformed as to him not actually having it.

Sorry for the mis-hap.

its all good. in 2 weeks Going for 8.60's.

a "6 speed" is a trans that has all gears to me. and reverse. Mine all work and function.

Thats my opinion.

Joe's had all the stuff done to it, face plated, straight cut etc., barely needs to lift to shift - Big difference. You can even hear it in the shifts, I've heard both cars since I've seen Joe race for years and BES can't shift his trans like that because it will fall apart. Ditto for Tanner.

Props BES, you earned it!

You need to update your Sig now BES.

yeah I cant pound the gears with this trans like I used to in my SS. I have tried and I miss shifts, so trying to take it a little easy on it so I dont bend valves on over rev's during miss shifts(did that 2 weeks before shootout)

here is a video of me pounding the gears in my SS, NON faceplated, stock input and out shaft, shifting at 7700.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cZ_61qUawk&feature=channel_video_title

if I could shift this trans as fast as that, that would be the ticket!:eek2:

You need to update your Sig now BES.

thanks for the reminder!!:cheers:

Hell I'm just glad another good ole Indiana Boy is rockin the "Quote on Quote" 6 Speed Record!!! However you look at it, Even If he's not the "Fastest"... then he's the "Runner Up" for sure. :)

Congrats Bro!
And I agree with you on the whole 6 gears WITH Reverse, Record Setting ET!

I would think if you wanted/claimed the 6 speed record one would have 6 gears ... IMO

Tearing it up!

Damn the haters , anyway you look at it, you have a sickass ride, in my book its even more badass with the t56 in there....go get that 8.60 pass

Congrats Charlie! Couldn't be happier for you buddy!

Congrats, that is definately getting it done with a stick. One of the few races I got to see since I was working the event (was helping pair up cars in the lanes on Sunday), and witnessed the wheelie.

Good luck getting even faster!

Derek

Wow nastychevelle seems like a big time nut swinger. Congrats on the good passes!

thanks for the kind words guys. I am very very torn on what to do with the car at the moment. Leave the stick in it, or go auto to be more competitive for Real Street next year....

also waiting on rule changes and the word weather or not everything is a done deal.

I'm coming in late on this thread but wow that's a hella time for a man pedal.. Congrats

Mad props! :)
