Default 2nd stock longblock into the 9s!!!

and this time with a 6 speed!!!!!!!

I was hoping to scare Chris Stewart's auto conversion 9.7x, but that might be out of reach for where I want the car.

What a great time yesterday! That's what this is all about. I had a blast! My wife and friends even enjoyed it. They asked when we were going to do it again. Of course not sure when/if that will happen.

Big thanks to everyone that helped yesterday. I owe much of it to two guys. Chris Uzzel for helping me turn wrenches and getting this thing to the amazing car it is. Steve Williams (Frost) for setting me up with an amazing tune. Who'd a thought a stock longblock could do this??

This was my first time out with radials. I was also a little rusty as I only had 8 passes in 2009 coming into this event. My shifts were dead on all day. On the passes we logged, the shifts were within 8 rpm of our target. Took me a little time to figure out the launches though. It was pretty cool to bust it out in the last 5 minutes of the day. Gotta love the pressure!

A sub-10 second street car is hard to beat...and with a stick makes it even better.

Congrats on the achievement.

Hey Dave,

That's some pretty impressive driving, I'm glad I was there for it. It's hard to believe that a bone-stock LS6 can go 9s; you make it look too easy in the video.
