Going to put the car on the dyno today and see what it is putting down on this setup. Will just be on 93.

We had a good time, got a couple of fbodies to get on the dyno last night. I have been working on my drivability tune and got the little bit of bucking at 1400-1800 smoothed out. Very happy with the setup.

Changing out my rear wheel studs. These are the standard Strange 1/2" screw in studs.




The ABS ring gear is in the way. I decided to trim the teeth in the way since I'm removing the ABS system from my car.

Driver side, all five wheel studs were loose and bent! May have happened last month at the track when I had some bad wheel hop.

So I had to cut each stud off on this side.

Will be adjusting my front suspension to widen the track 1/2" on each side to match the rears.

Finally got to go for a ride in my buddy's ZL1 1LE. It has headers, CAI, TB, and tune. Car pulls pretty hard and brakes even harder lol. Well sorted car.

Sunday cruise with the guys.

Saw a C7 zo6 with the same wheel color setup and figured I'd give it a shot since these wheels need to be repainted. Going to have to redo this one because I sprayed in sub 60 degree temps.

Got to make it back to the track last weekend and compete in my first race. Was a blast, finally got to try out the drag pack. It is a whole new feeling on bias ply tires. I was eliminated by a C6 procharged/nitrous Vette because I missed 3rd. Here are a few pics.


New best 60' of 1.6 and new personal best of 11.46 @ 126. Losing time between shifts.

Small update on the car, a few weeks ago I decided to pull the stock T-56 and install a rebuilt one (upgraded 3-4 fork, bronze pads, new syncros, etc).

I also pulled the Monster level 2 clutch and replaced with a Mcleod RXT twin disc.

I installed everything this past weekend but did not get to test drive it yet.

I also pulled the stock leather seats out and replaced with Corbeau FX1 suede racing seats along with sliders.

That’s some damn good mph. I finally got my junk back together. I need to go back to the track. I’m not dropping boost on top end anymore.

I didn't get to drive it yet but should perform much better with the new trans, clutch, shifter setup.

Glad you got it all back going. My transmission is on it's way back to me so maybe this weekend I can ride. If not, soon it will be.
