Vengeance Racing testing at Atlanta Dragway... Pics/Videos inside
We had several customers that needed track tuning so we shut down the shop and spent Tuesday at Atlanta Dragway....
Here are a few pics...
C6 Z06 with our Stage II LS7X Camshaft/Longtubes/Vararam/ExoSkel
I was driving on this pass. This was my first time behind the wheel of this customers car. It has 10.50s in it EASILY with a few more runs.. The owner sprayed the car later on and "spun" to a 6.33@115mph in the 1/8 mile... He was not allowed to run 1/4 mile due to his lack of safety equip.
1.66 sixty foot
6.95 1/8 ET
103.18 1/8 mph
10.72 1/4 ET
130.90 1/4 MPH

The next video is a 98SS Camaro with an LSX 454 pump gas street combo with a direct port. This pass the car goes 5.71@ 121.9 on a 1.54 60ft... A few minutes later we cut a 1.35 60ft with some shock adjustments and ran out of nitrous halfway thru the pass....

This is one of our technicians trucks. It has a 402 with a small shot. Leaving on MOTOR and rolling into the juice Charlie clicked off a 10.92@129mph. If you listen to the video you will hear the engine surging a bit. We found the throttlebody not wanting to stay 100% during the run and have replaced it with an LS2 unit. We will be back out testing 1/8 this weekend.

Here is our Vengeance built GTO that has been tearing up the track for sometime now. This GTO runs consistent 9.20s@149mph cutting 1.3x 60fts.... I was driving this weekend to get some seat time as the owner recently had back surgery and will not be able to make any passes for a few more weeks. We hope to have this GTO in the 8s VERY soon with the recent changes Unfortunately Im 80lbs heavier than the owner so we have to overcome that
Notice this GTO is FULL weight.. 3760lbs with me in it... FULL Factory catback exhaust/full interior/power steering/AC etc etc...

Last but not least here is Slow ETz on his first pass with his new LSX combination... Believe it or not he can actually drive... His TH400 (Vendor left out) would not shift for about 2 seconds after he actually shifted inside the car... Trans is coming out today to be gone thru. On a SMALL 200 hit he still managed to run a 9.79@141mph staying on the limiter most of the pass..

Damn Ron you weren't kidding. Brown's car is eating the **** out of that limiter. I bet that old geaser is gonna need a pacemaker now.
Oh, and tsk tsk tsk on that shifting in the Z06. I thought I taught you better.
Let me know next time you rent out the track, I wanna come play.

Yea, we found an issue with the trans/converter that is currently being taken care of by the manufacturer. Cant wait to see what "Barney" will do with a functional drivetrain!!!!
As for shifting... Welll.... Older-Fatter-Slower.... What can I say... I was happy not to miss any gears to be honest lol!!!
