It was another great day at the track , set another new best ET and MPH .
60FT 1.534
1/8 Mile 6.155 at 118.68
1/4 9.446 at 148.79

The car was making between 13-14lbs of boost throughout all my runs today and I was hitting the rev limiter just before the end of the 1/4 on most of my runs (time for a taller tire or less gear) . I was extremely happy with the car today , and had a blast hanging out with all the other guys and their fast cars . I once again drove it to and from the track in my street trim with just an air pressure change to the drag radials , I just got in from the track , stopped at the mall and went to watch my high school alma mater in the NJ State football playoofs on the way home .

Another huge thanks to Cartek and Rodney at RPM Transmissions( I will make a seperate post regarding this) , my trans went bad in the beginning of the week , and these guys pulled through for me big time .

The rear mount set up is very basic , right down to the stock Z06 exhaust manifolds , it was what I could afford financially , I honestly don't know the cam specs , other than it's a hydraulic roller , you can call Cartek and ask them , it's a custom turbo grind they did .

Strong Stealth, Very Strong.

WOW! Extremely impressive. It looked like in that video that you black patched the first 30-40 ft.

Very impressed. How are the street manners? I understand you drove it to and from the track ect, but I'm guessing with 3.42s and the power your making, that it's pretty much a sleeper since you're not too high in the rpm's driving around town.

Would love to see/hear more about your setup.

The drivability on the street is excellent , when I'm not into the boost , I'm cruising around on a mild lift cam , 9 to 1 compression motor , weather permitting , I'll put an easy few hundred miles a week on it .
