Talking Six Speeds Inc. has New WORLD RECORD 1st M6 T56 in the 8's 8.935@153!!!!!

That is correct guys we have the FIRST T56 M6 in the 8's. We ran today at Houston Raceway Park.

29.96 Bar.
80.11% Humidity
311 DA
54 Degrees
3250 Weight With Driver on HRP's scales

1.286 60ft
3.178 330ft
5.729 1/8 Mile
122.64 1/8 Mile MPH
7.467 1000ft
8.935 1/4 Mile
153.37 1/4 MPH

Of course we have it on video and as soon as we get to the shop tomorrow I will upload and post the video. The track wasn't very good as the 1st pass it blew the tires away but still went 9.2 @ 152. We knew this was going to be a decent day. We only got 2 passes and on the 2nd pass we hit the 8.935. We decided since the dew was worse, fog comming in and the track was getting dangerous to load it up and head home.

A huge THANKS to Madman and Co. Racing, BMR Fabrication, Greg Good Cylinder Heads, Dean Harvey at Comp Cams, SIX SPEEDS INC. of COURSE, Gibson Concrete and all of our crew (Scott, Aaron and Suzanne).

WE FINALLY HAVE THE 1ST LS1 M6 T56 IN THE 8'S. And we put 5/6 gear back in just to make it a true 6 SPEED T56. Naturally Aspirated of Course.

Thanks,
Amber
Six Speeds Inc.

Amber, you may or may not want to say, but how much power is that thing making to the wheels? or what is it making to the flywheel?

I am curious because I want to run the same times on nitrous at the same weight and just curious as to how much I am going to have to squeeze it.

That's the first T56 M6 in the 8's, not the first T56 in the 8's and she stated that in the opening line of her post
