C5Z/F1R goes 9.96@148.99 with a M6
New PB, more carnage...
Skip to 22:38 in the vid for my 9.96 pass.
Here it is IN CAR., Watch in 1080p/full screen
AND...the KILL SHOT..(death by wheel hop)
Here is my carnage..
This was on the mild street tune, through the air filter, just how I drive it. I had about another 50-60rwhp(velocity stack/more aggressive tune) I could have put in it IF I could get it down the track easier...I was having hell shifting it and keeping it from wheel hopping....(obviously).. The car was probably around 830-840 rwhp today in street trim.
So she is in retirement for a while until I can get enough loot together to do an auto swap and build another rear end.... Probably late winter...

Weight was 3525lbs with me in it. Yeah, sux it broke. I knew I was pushing my luck, I even said that before my last pass..
I was launching super soft to keep it from spinning because every time it would spin, it would wheel hop...this was the 4th pass it spun/hopped on...I couldn't get out of it fast enough this time because it hopped after the 1-2 shift...
I was also having a hard time shifting it so I was shifting really slow...

I HOPE the tranny is ok... but judging by the rear end being split in half, my guess is the mainshaft is broke too...
Thanks man...It will be down for quite a while..

It was running great and still had more in it... I KNOW it would have hit 150 mph with some more passes/practice shifting..... Then I could have pulled the inlet/filter and put the velocity stack on it and my "race tune"...I am confident it would have gone 151-152 with everything on kill IF I could have gotten a clean, hard pass...
It will be much easier with the automatic... It will lose a good bit of power going through the auto/converter but, it will be so much more efficient going down the track and on the street, the car will be faster...plus the gains you get from the stall converter and shift recovery... Keeping the rpms above 5000 the entire time will be awesome for this F1r.

Nice MPH Alan!!!
Bummer about the rear. I thought long and hard about FI'ing my c6 but after seeing the trouble you've gone through I decided to build a Stang. Good news is your really going to run fast with the auto.
PS - I noticed that you seem to have alot of time in between shifts. I noticed that the t56 in my C6 just doesnt shift quick and clean either. The TKO and the T56 Magnum in the Chevelle shifts MUCH better than the Vette - what a bummer huh?

Also this was a brand new set up, first time out on real tires and the clutch is hair trigger and would not slip for me so the launches were not smooth, were low rpm and just trying to keep it from spinning. I did miss a shift on two passes also..
Not as easy as it looks...

But my 10.06 and 9.96 passes were thru the air filter and with my street tune (15*) so I could have easily just ran it on 93 oct.
My plan was to make a couple more passes to get cleaner launches and get the horrible shifts better, I wanted it to run 150mph in street trim, then I was gonna turn it up...unfortunately it broke before I got that far..

I never weighed it stock because it had a blower on it when I got it....
But yes all of the blower stuff, iron block & 4" 4340 crank, all of the supporting stuff weighed it way down...
It was 3610lbs with stock 17" Z06 wheels (oem speedlines) all the way around and 275/40s up front and 325/45/17 M&Hs in the rear, that was me in it (190lbs) and 1/2 tank.
With the CCWs and bias plies, me at 190lbs and less then 1/2 tank, it was 3525lbs on the same scale.
Sux but it is what it is... I still have to put another 60lbs worth of roll bar in it and how ever much weight a 4l60 is gonna add... I'm sure I'll be at 3700lbs raceweight when its all said and done..

Yeah this tranny is VERY notchy and doesnt shift well... its all new with all the best stuff in it but...its just very notchy and I have to let all the way off the gas to get it to go into gear... Its very obvious when listening to the outside video... Whats weird is I had a stock T56 in a Trans Am making 550rwhp and I could power shift that car mercilessly and never miss a gear.... This car has better EVERYTHING and it doesnt shift half as good...
But it will shift real nice with the 4l60 in it...
On another note, none of these T56s or MN12s I have owned can hold a candle to pulling gears in a M20 Muncie 4 spd...
