The car is currently making 440rwhp and 430 rwtq

It has Magnaflow Exhaust and a box stock I/C Magnacharger set-up.(No tuning or pulley swap) Other than that the car is as delivered from Chevrolet.

I took it to a private track day out at Fontana this past friday and was pleased with the times.

I ran it with 1/2 tank of gas with zero weight reduction.

1,000 ft DA

There was a 10-15 mph headwind most of the night.

First two passes were on street tires:

12.52/12.59@118.5 (2.15 60ft on Run craps) the car would get scary on the 1-2 shift I had to lift to avoid the center line.(2 vipers lost it earlier and crashed so track prep wasn't amazing)

I said screw that and put on some 17" ET Streets mounted on ZR1's.

First pass with a minor burnout and a 2,000 rpm launch netted me a 11.95@119.2 (1.89 60ft)

I then decided to get a little more agressive.I lowerd the tire pressure to 14psi and did a nice burn-out.II then launched at 3,500 rpm's and cut a 1.71 60ft!Went for second gear and it just wasn't there!(Grind-grind)I figured this would have been a 11.5 or so if I was able to find all the gears down the track.

I let the car/clutch cool for an hour and decided to get back out there.

I ran 5 times in a row since the traffic had all but stopped and was able to improve everytime while babying the car off the line.

I ran 3 11.9's and then ran 2 11.8's before I decided to pack it up for the evening.

Best pass was 11.82@120 (1.8960ft)

I think the car has a 11.4@122 in it with some tuning and a better clutch.

I am very pleased with the car and the Magnacharger set-up I don't think there was anyother cars there that went into the 11's while getting over 30mpg on the drive up!

 

Good times man, yeah these damn stock clutches suck - Its horrible going for the peddle and its already on the ground!

 

Those are some nice times. Yea, the 1st to 2nd can be brutal, and those poor Viper bastards don't have active handling to keep the crash factor down. Many a Vette has been saved by running in Comp mode (AH). If your getting these times already I agree there is more to be had.

 

Thanks for the heads up..

Congrats ..your cars awesome.

 

Nice runs! glad to hear everything went well.

 

A buddy just installed one,his a/f ratio was so lean on the top end,he couldn't run WOT until getting a fuel booster pump.

Watch that clutch homie.....you need your right foot..I'm suprised you made even 5 passes on that clutch..Scarey dude..scatter shield is a word that comes to mind.
Nice times for sure even if the tune is off.

 

I'm going to steal that car when you're not looking, Hammerboy! It's rad. It's like a supercar with the Magnacharger on it. Credit to the people who spent two months convincing you to run it on at least ET Streets...

 

Nice runs! That would be low 11s at a sea level track in decent weather.

Glad to see more Vette owners driving them like they should

 

get a tune asap
