Wow there are some ignorant ******** in this thread. My buddy Ron (98tadriver on here) runs 10.7s at 125 in his bolt on only LS1 vette at the same track in similar conditions with a very similar raceweight. I can see gaining 5mph from the ls6 cam and 243 heads that are on an LS6 equipped car...
big F-ing liar"....clearly we all agree that 243 heads and the better LS6 cam
are worth 50 horsepower or 5 mph but the video shows "as stated" a fail of
a good launch. There's 3 tenths ET lost in the first 60 ft. which everyone
knows will translate to a 10.30 or better and at least 133-134mph. At that
potentially projected performance...even 98TA would gasp..."holy

nah its ok. never really got any help here to begin with and 10yrs later nothing has seemed to change. wound up fixing the problem myself. it was a bad coil.
i come here to read the kill stories and see what progress the ls motors make against the competition.
hope you dont catch my car at a light ; )

I hope the OP takes OMFG responses as a compliment rather than "you're a
big F-ing liar"....clearly we all agree that 243 heads and the better LS6 cam

"There's alot to clean up in the tune and on the track. I haven't raced in 3 years and will try to get some clean passes in before the new motor goes in.
Then after we're done with et chasing and maybe a few all-motor events, I'm thinking of putting the stock motor back in and running stock eliminator classes.

Weight reduction
parasitic reduction from the engine and driveline
perfect gearing (trans/rear/tires/rpm)
great tuning
best fuel for your application for every little bit of hp to be pulled 1hp is 1hp
rolling resistance decreased
suspension setup specific to drag racing
clutch/trans setup specific to drag racing
well thought out modifications that compliment each other
great weather
great track, closer to sea level the better
great driving technique (staging, throttle input, clutch input,optimized shift points hit right every time etc)
logging and learning how and where to improve
Most importantly is having fun with friends during it all and LEARNING from EACH PASS!!
DONE end of story... there it all is in black and white. Until you know you've perfected all of the above you didnt go as fast as you can!!!

nope. 5 ltr. beater is the screen name ive been using since back in 99' and i use the name on every forum im on.
so you install an electric water pump and do a few suspension mods and you call yourself a mechanic? i swear you come on here like your an ASE certified master mechanic. gtfo.
when i asked about the mods on the car i was given a link to a BS callout thread???
no worries though...im sure the car is on its way to trapping 140 all motor soon.
not trying to deviate the thread. rant is over. carry on.

Hopefully I'll get some time this spring with another motor to really test the car.

We have seen our share of breakage over the years. The c5 rear is relatively weak and always an area of concern on the launch. Still waiting for someone to make a 9inch for the vette.

I don't know the exact details, but I believe the guy with the quickest vette with IRS (6.9 1/4mile if memory serves me correctly) has a custom 9" center section
