Yeah 9's are the goal.
I would love to make it to the GLD opening, but not sure if I can. I am still waiting on my Turbo(back order), I'm working on getting the tranny in the car now, motor and tranny came out, just need to put the TH400 on and throw her back in. Then I have to order a new driveshaft, which will only take a day or two.
The main hold up will be the turbo, If I don't get it right away, I won't have time to tune it before GLD opens....

also, I did just order a front mount intercooler, I am scrapping the wta setup for weight and my idiocy, since I left water in it through the winter and cracked the core.

Small update: Got the turbo in after two months of waiting, also have the intercooler, and the driveshaft should be completed tomorrow. Everything is back in the car and all I need to do is button up some loose ends. Then I'll have some track numbers!

Hopefully I'll be tuning by mid week! Hopefully I can hit 9's in the next coming weeks when the track opens!
Thanks for looking
John

Well i got some of the small stuff out of the way last night. Painted the hotside with VHT ceramic paint, just to help protect against rust, as its not for looks since i have a turbo blanket. also the radiator piping is done, but still waiting on 6 t-bolt clamps for the IC piping. Im hoping to get the tranny mount done tomorrow and get the driveshaft in, then its just buttoning things up!

Car is running! 10psi so far, more updates to come, planning to hit the track tomorrow.
If weather cooperates, I will update tomorrow with slips!

I was just talking to my buddy with the corvette. He was supposed to be testing at Cordova yesterday. I told him I thought you would probably be back out soon and to look for a probe with a ratted out body kit. Hope all went well if you did get out.

Ha Ha, Yeah I didn't make it out, and today was a battle of the high schools, and for some odd reason they don't allow test and tune on those days...
Did a little more tunning today, kept it at 10psi, I'm about to get back out and raise her up some, maybe 13-14psi

Managed to get the car to the track. Slicks didnt fit so i was on my bald drag radials. Pulled off a 10.71@133, which im ok with for now. Really kind of surprised that i didnt pick any mph up over last year, but ill keep looking into it to get the times down.

Thanks!
I have an update. All year long the car hasnt been revving to redline, and finally last week i had an epiphany: I was floating the LS6 yellows! So on saturday i put in some new PAC 1218's, and test drove her on monday. Goes straight to redline, and feels damn good doing so! Hitting the track on Friday for some 9 second slips!

Thanks guys, I think I will try to up the boost a little tonight and get the tune dialed in so I dont have to mess with it at the track. If I have a copilot there might be some video action.
