going to the track Friday

Since the last aborted run I have put in a new converter that seems to work much better, installed a boost gauge, and installed a girdle diff cover.

Car seems to run good and is at 9psi right now.
Planning on throwing some race gas in it to be on the safe side and see what it will run

Previous partial pass 1/8th was a 7.03 @ 107 / 1.94 60'

just got back from Milan

Drove the car there, threw in some 110 to be safe
I dropped the timing and the car ran shitty first pass so I aborted to a 14.xx @ 55mph =/

2nd pass I brought the timing back to where I started and the car went the following
1.99 60'
7.12 1/8 @ 110
10.66 1/4 @ 140

was then asked to get a rollbar and harness =P

I'm happy with it! now to work on the 60's

What headers are you using? I'm guessing 2010/2011 camaro shorties. Did you try them in the "correct" orientation just to see if they fit before you cut the flanges off?

BTW, nice numbers! That car has to be a blast to drive.

It is fun to drive! Decent street manners, good on the freeway with the 3.31 gear, and runs good!


I built the kit from a pair of summit shorty truck headers

the were $169 not too long ago
cut the flanges and airtube off and welded v-bands in place

Nothing major as of now

I have been driving the car a lot putting miles on it

Haven't been to the track much since it doesn't have a rollcage (tech doesn't like me =P)

I did get the car on Passtime at the Milan taping so that was cool

Probably going to the track mid Oct to NO ET where they don't question the lack of cage!

Planning the winter upgrades for it already
Trans/transbrake
Cage/ 10 point with removable door bar
subframe connectors (lol it doesn't have them yet)


With the transbrake the car should dip into the 9's with what MPH it has been doing

My 60' times are horrible because it won't spool any without trying to pull the car across the starting line. Once I take care of that i will see about turning the boost up some as I am still at 9lbs

What carb are you running and how's drivability on the street? I skimmed the thread and didn't see if you built the motor, is it stockish?

I am running a Pro-Systems blow thru. Drivability is just fine. I see no huge differences in how it is on the street compared to driving it last year NA

Been driving the car everywhere and to all of the track trips so far. closest track is 70+ miles one way. Wouldn't hesitate to drive it anywhere... planning a 220+ mile round trip tomorrow

9lbs the car is a beast! Makes me excited to see what it is turned up


Engine is a 6.0/lq4
stock l92 heads (with lunati spring kit)
Bullet cam (.629/.629, 236/236, 115ls)
arp rod bolts, head studs
ring gap opened to .026

Doing anything over the winter?

What wheels are those bud?

knievel

iTrader: (11)

The wheels on in are just the Summit fast five wheels... inexpensive but work


This winter I am doing a forged 370 short block
Eagle rods, autotec dished pistons, main studs, hellfire rings.
I am also putting in a cage, trans w/brake, and finally putting in my Team Z rear coilover kit
