hello I have a 99 z-28 with 60k on it . Went to atco today (long day and hot)
first time i raced my car or anything since i was 18 (now 37) .I did all my own work and installed over the last year and a half ,ms3 cam kit ,edelbrock victor headers and 3"ory,ported throttle body,98 vette intake (on egr), rumbler exhaust ,took muffler off and put in borla muffler,fuddle racing 4000 stall converter ,patriot 5.3 stage 2 heads . paid for trans to be rebuilt (so trans was fresh)and had pcm for less tune car. slp weld on frame connectors. no upgrade on anything else (stock suspension)and ran on street tires . really hope this helps someone out. next on the list is another tune ( for trans shift) 30lb injectors , and some et streets.this winter going to get some 4.10 gears also. want to see low 11's .


time slip
r/t .088
60' 1.680
330 5.038
1/8 7.771
mph 89.73
990 10.072
1/4 12.135
mph 113.14

 

Am I reading this right? you took off a 99+ LS6 intake and installed a 98 LS1 intake off a Corvette? Wouldn't this cost power? theoretically speaking.

Congrats on the times.

 

good time for the mph, should have alot left in it though, the ls6 intake cam in 00-02's, so i dunno if it was so much a performance mod as a getting rid of EGR mod.

 

i was told it is not a ls6 intake unless it had a flat bottom on it . that is why i changed it . if that is wrong please tell

 

ls6 intakes came on 2000 +
my 99 has the ls1 , you switched correctly
i wish i could cut 1.6 ft times w/ street tires thats insane, that 4000 stall must be bad a$$. good times man

 

thanks . got converter fron fuddle racing , very nice people to work with and good prices.still need tune and tires.want 11's

 

Actually, LS6 intake came with 2001 & 2002 LS1 F-Body.

 

NIce run!!!

Am I reading that you ran this on a stock 10 bolt rear???

I know autos are much easier on the rear, but you have a pretty high stall converter.

What tire pressure were you running?

I am going to a track rental on 11/11/05 at ATCO. Let me know if you want to come, there is a chance there will be open spots after the original 15 people run.

I am running my TA and my Vette.

I am all worried about running my stock 10 bolt and launching at anywhere off idle with my M6, I usually like to launch at 2000rpms which is still conservative at 25# of pressure.

Congrats again on the fine run,

Howard

 

thanks . i have 20lbs in rear tires and yes stk 10 bolt. I will let you know about 11-11
I only brought idle up to around 2200 before launch.
thanks again

DaveC -

I hope my 10 bolt lives at the track.

11/11 will be a great time - as long as you don't mind a bunch of us Mustang guys.

I am administrator of a 03 Cobra & Mustang based website, ironic that I now own 2 GMs. They still don't want to impeach me.

Howard

 

sounds good to me. strange thata admin of a ford site has chevys.deep down they know whats faster.

 

DaveC -

I don't know about the faster thing? -

FORD
My 92 LX went 11.22@124.56 on a soft 1.81 60' on DRs, the run before it hooked and pulled a 1.66 60', but blew the run.
If we would have had another chance, 10.9s on DRs would have been for sure. But, we blew a headgasket after that run.
Traded that car to buy my TA.

My 03 Cobra with just $1100 in mods went 12.22@116.4 on a soft 1.93 60' on DRs
In fact with just catback and cai ($500 total mods) on street radials it went 12.35@115.4.
Traded to buy my Viper.

MOPAR
My stock Viper (except for aftermarket air filters) went 11.67@120.56 on a 1.68 60' on Kumhos Ecsta V700s.
Traded to buy my Vette.

So, faster is doubtful, but my GMs sure are alot of fun to drive, espeically the TA. Nothing like the sound of a cutout at 4500rpms

one thing you need to understand I like only chevy's ,will only own a chevy . I know that there are fast fords out there . my earlier statment was only in good fun.If i had to own a ford it would be a 67 shelby. like the one in gone in 60 seconds.if there was no competition everyone would drive a amc. hahahaha

 

LS6 intake was on 2001 and 2002 F body..the Z06 did not come out till 2001

 

Hey, my AMX ran a....................

JUST KIDDING

My problem is I like all cars, it causes me buy too many of them.

Still have not found one that I like enough to keep for more than 2 years.

Howard

 

all I ever been around were chevy's .first car I bought with my own money was a 67 camaro (327 ,4speed ),second was a 70 chevelle ,3rd 73 ta ,4 72 chevele,5th 73 el camino ,etc . My wife was the same ,her father the same.(chevy people) I suppose if my first was a mustang ,well i would not be married to my wife , and i might have fords.

 

I had a 67 Camaro

350
dual quads
headers in to dual 3" pipes thru Flowmasters
Huge cam
4.11 rear
THM350 tranny

Loud and Nasty sounding

By far most of the cars I have owned are Mustangs and Vettes.

Throw in a few Trans Ams and Z28s and that is the vast majority of my cars.

Can you tell I like V8s???

The Viper and Ram Air TA were just too hot looking to pass up as is my new Vette.

Hard to beat Corvette Yellow, Viper Yellow, or Pontiac Red.

My Mustangs never looked as hot, but their Performance made up for it.

Now go get that car to run a 11.999 and we can start another thread.

Howard

 

My stock 10 bolt has held up fine to plenty of track passes as well as street runs and I have an M6 with almost 500 HP, stock clutch is OK too.

 

brad8266 -

Thanks.

I needed to hear that.

I have never had a car break at the track that I was driving. I am pretty easy on my cars.

When my 92 LX blew a Headgasket my buddy was driving, he is much harder than I am on a car.

Once I had a hood fly up, but the car still drove home.

Although I am easy on cars, I have only once had someone drive my car to a better time than me at the strip, he powershifted and I grannyshifted my cai & catback equipped 03 Cobra, 12.35@115.4 to 12.48@114.89, and those cars need to be powershifted.

IS IT SAFE TO DO A SLIGHT BURNOUT TO CLEAN THE TIRES???

At Atco there is no way to drive around the water trap.

Since it is a rental I will try to have them leave one side dry, but last time they forgot.

Howard

 

I did a slight burnout when I raced ,nothing big , and it was fine
