incredible you are hitting 10.3 at only 120 mph. sounds like a S/E setup! lol. is it still stock heads on the car???

Congrats Coach. That is one bad-ass car. Soon you'll be running 9's :)

Outstanding job.

David

Nice times Coach. Just wait until you can make a full clean pass, that things gonna fly :)

congrats man that 60' is great, you must have ran out at 1000' to run 120mph with that 1/8 mile :D

Congrats Coach! The short time had to be tons of fun!

Eric

Coach

Congrats on the new best Coach ! It was definatly all over the rev limiter. Cant wait to see what it does after the gear change.

Nice seeing you again.

Congrats Coach, nice meeting you as well! Glad our tire rotation crew at Pepboys/Joe Os trailer was on duty, because car looked mean leaving and ran mean too ;) 4.56s or 4.71s? The car is still around 3400 lbs yes? It would be sick at 3000-3100

awesome bro, didn't see this post till now somehow, sorry:)

great work!

Sam Vedors Ran 9.35 @ 141.7 With A 1.29 60" With A Stock Style Ported With Stock Lt1 Heads Full Ported Of Course Fully Ported
Heads And Intake Also With 396 Ci This Should Take The Record For The Fastest Lt1

I beleive Joes car has been 142-143 mph, for the fastest claim.

What kind of suspension/raceweight is Vedros at?

AWESOME Coach! It was great seeing you and your wife again. I hope to get a new personal best this weekend if the coolness and dry air stay for Sunday.

Vedors Is Car Is A Four Link 67 Camro With The Car Weight Is Around
2600 To 2650 But This Is With A Factor Type Intake And On Reg. Gas Side By Side Racing He Beat Joe To The End And Joe Red Light On The Start. Put A Factor Intake On Joe Car With Reg. Gas And Were Is He At.vedor Was Not Claming To Be Fastest In The World Joe Was Not Any More He Got Beat On A Side By Side Race.7

Yes Sammy did beat Joe on that run but Joe's car was hurt. If his car would have been 100% he would have taken Sammy out without a problem. Not taking anything away from Sammy, his car is fast, but Joe's car was hurt.
It was good ole run for fun race with no hard feelings. You all seemed like a good bunch of guys. I enjoyed my weekend down there and meeting everyone, and look forward to coming back next year.

TJ

not sure how the Lt1 thing came up in coaches thread...Sorry Coach!!!
but I guess I'll just throw my Lt1 in a rail since chassis dont mean anything..
pretty sad a 10.5 tire on stock suspension out 60 ft'd a backed half 4 link car..not to mention the run in question I out mphr'ed him side by side with a 3 year old smaller motor with a rear that was hurt.. Sorry if my lil sticker on the back window bothered you guys..None the less oh well get a 4th gen. and come take the title...besides 9.35 has been beaten "just not in competition" actually 9.30 has been beaten for that matter..;)

Both the cars were impressive guys. Joe..I don't think it bothered sammy...he is a good guy and just likes to race. The two cars are completly different platforms. Sammys car is a 396 bottom end that has been running for a very very long time. He is still on lt4 heads/intake and just swapped over to a solid roller. The same motor in a 94 z28 6 speed..where he use to have it...went 10.9x. Joes motor Ihave no doubt makes more hp. Many more cool tricks there I believe..but have no clue about what is really done to the motor.

This was the best side by side race I saw all weekend. I still like joes idea..and I quote "man..that car would FLY with my motor in it".

sorry for the hijack coach...contrats on the new best. Get the gear change and your gonna be a force to be reconed with by the big dogs...all done with a little 346.

Congratulations Coach! keep on hammerin away

Yeah side note, congrats again Coach! ;) Youd be bringing the pain in Modified Stock if you can keep it out of orbit

No problem guys. I love reading stuff about race cars.

Madman will be changing the gear hopfully this week and we are going to go do some testing. I am very excited about what the car may run. I will keep ya'll posted.

Coach

Holy shit Coach that is awesome!!

What did you change to hit those sixties?!

:cheers:

:cheers:

He did a good hard burnout and Madman made him sit on the hood and anchor the front to the ground! :jest:

If I remember right - since it was done it the pit next to me at the Shoot Out and with my tools.:secret:

David

Thats one of those secrets that need to be kept on the down low David :secret: The cat's been let out the bag, but some still don't know. An advantage is an advantage......innovation is a good thing. Some don't mind going the extra mile and trying new idea's.....some idea's work and some don't. The one's that try the new and innovative idea's instead of staying the tried and true route usually reep the benifits. ;)

I'd be willing to try that but how could he drive the car and sit on the hood? :jest:

Chris,

LOL!!! I am a very talented driver.

Coach

Congrats Coach! I havent kept up with your posts lately, but last time I remembered you were running 10.90s. Obviously you made some changes since then, do you mind sharing? From what I knew, you were running the T-Rex, stock heads, stock bottom end, Th350, custom 4800 stall converter, 5.13 gear, and 30" slicks. Was your bottom end at that time completely stock? What has changed to drop you 6 tenths?

I told you all, Madman just chained the front to the ground... and it likes it ;)

No really, No Problem has a fogger setup going down the track, and for $10 a pass they hit you with the 50 shot fogger. Thats why all them Thunder cars are fast all year round...

:ripped: ;)

A new LS1 346 Thunder racing motor(put in July, now 103 passes later). Fresh turbo 350 with a fresh 5,000 stall converter and Madman working his magic. :cool:

I still have my cam only motor getting ready for a Thunder Racing freshen up. :devil:

Coach

What does the Thunder Racing racing motor consist of? Is the displacement still the same? What about the heads and cam? So other than the motor, nothing else changed besides thing being freshened up?

What gear/tire combo are going to now?

Here are the specs on the new motor(105 passes now):
LS6 block
3.905" Diamond forged pistons (2cc valve reliefs)
Oliver 6.125" rods
stock, polished crank
JE 3.905" rings
Federal Mogul rod and main bearings
GM cam bearings
TR ported LS6 oil pump
Comp adjustable timing set

GTP stage 2+ truck heads, milled .050" (2.02/1.57)
Thunder Racing 242/236 .608/.600 104lsa (108 ICL)
Comp "OEM" replacement lifters
TR 7.350" pushrods
stock rockers

Just before the Thunder race we freshened up the tranny and convert. We broke the tranny at the bracket finals in San Antonio.

Coach

Sounds like a sweet set up. Are the pistons in there bigger than stock? I always thought that when you put new pistons in that you had to bore the block to the size of the pistons. Is your motor still considered a 346? Why did you get away from the cam only motor? You were running some really good times, in which I think you could have beaten your own best with the better weather coming around. Whats the difference between the LS6 and LS1 block?

Sorry to hurt your feeling joe but you right a rail with a lt1 would be faster. So why put a sticker on your back glass that says "fastest n/a lt1 in the world".Around here if we put something like that on our car we bets be able to back it up. By the way you try and run a 1.76 first gear and see what 60' you run,are put a set of 32x14 slicks and a dana 60 rear end and see what mph you get.And another thing the racing we do here is you go when the light turns green not when the second yellow is just coming on and the winner of the race is the one to cross the finish line first.And the only reason you was even close to me is because you "RED LIGHTED" and you still got be to the end by a real lt1 and a 5 year old motor build by more preformance.I have work for a GM dealer for a while and never seen a T/A come off the truck with the suspensionyou have,and never heard of a factor 7 5/8 to hold to a 1.27 60'. I geuss we make the rules up as we go the title,just think what that 67 camaro would have ran the night you ran your best,with out alchol or nitro on race fuel like everyone else at the track.But I didn't see any titles going out for the fastest lt1 because sam didn't get it. But next year we can
make a title for the fastest lt1 so come on back next year and try again and good luck.
p.s.-- you know I can come up with a 100 excuse and so can you but excuse are like a$$ hole every one has one but you are right it is said when a grow man can't take losing :judge: :judge: :judge: :cry: :cry: :cry: :burn: :cheers:

Damn somebody is alittle testy today. How did Coach running a new best become a Joe O bitch session.

no bitchin no whining here I've lost before and I'll prolly lose again,put that lt1 in a 4th gen f-body then chant..fact remains I've ran faster than 9.35 like it or not and mph stands like it or not...in a car 400 lbs heavier....tell ya what next time. How bout we scale both of them and then you put in all that ballast and watch the tailights.... -.09 isnt ,much of a red light nice try with the second yellow comment... get off the ego trip already its was a for fun race .I accepted ,you won...so be it ...I didnt get on here making excuses people there saw the race and both cars..You made a notion to post here not me..so who has the issue???? by the way your CHALLENGE FOR NEXT YEAR IS NOTED AND ACCEPTED... make sure you bring ballast and a 10.5" tire.. :judge:
