I don't see what every one is bitching about on a well set up car those power numbers sound about right with the times you guys are running...
My friends foxbody with a cam only lq9 runs 6.60s or 10.50s and his car weights 3000 lbs turbo 350 trans and he put down like 430 through a 5500 stall or something like that lol
and my other buddy is trying to go for the IRS world record with his vet proline built it...his car is unreal lol he has been at valdosta running his car all weekend..

The clutch, rear, transmission had no positive influence on the cars performance in that video.
Stay humble. Some things you might need to figure out for yourself but most can be learned from the racers on these forums. I recommend you start a thread about your setup and everyone can pitch her their deas on how to help get you get better performance on the drag strip. We might have some info that can help you and it will keep you focussed on your car.
I'm assuming you modded your vette beyond bolt ons?

If that's the case then you are asking the wrong questions?

Anyway back to the car and the topic and thread you posted. what drivetrain setup does the car have and you left out part of my post, does the car have full interior? does it have AC? ect...
Its wierd, I simply asked a few questions and you instructed me to ask questions to help me go faster by looking to fellow members, which I do frequently. So I ask a few questions just like I do when people post a thread with great track results and they respond with this is my setup, you in turn say nothing except it didnt help, so you added a drivetrain that didnt help the car and in fact before you said it added weight, still doesnt change the questions in fact even more reason to list what drivetrain you have it has no effects on the setup.

Oh and I left out one of your questions, yes I am past bolt ons and looks like I will need a new motor now lol, can I have your LS6 lol, just playing but really, you really took half of what I said wrong I love going fast with less have done it with friends for a while.
Just alot of misdirection on the forum with certain threads people start thats all, and I am still really curious of what else is done to the car negative or positive.

I even run my 130+ passes on 93 octane sheetz or citgo....or whatever else I would have in it for gas. For sure from my time on the dyno there is some room left in the tune for a more consistent fuel, be it e85 or something else with more octane and/or oxygenated. But tuning closer to then edge could be done with a more consistent fuel for sure. We made 5whp more than whats in my sig but backed it off for safety's sake.
I would like to know what fuel vetteboy runs and how it affects the engine.
It's no secret that alot of guys don't like telling their secrets. Most of the time though the secrets are dotting all the i's and crossing all the t's.....and I mean all of them.

I can't speak for vette boy but my bolt-on ls6 camaro still has full interior(does have carbon front seats), ac , cruise, abs, oe style brakes, all seat belts, rear seats, complete monsoon radio, front and rear bumper supports.....it's pretty much complete. I do have a significant amount of weight out of the car, but it's been done in a manner that retains a complete car. It is my dd.

Anyhow what happened to your motor? Are you sure it's shot? I know a great engine builder if you are interest.
I plan on keeping the stock Ls6 to race with after the race motor goes in and then back out.

You guys do realize the track calibration could simply be off. The only common denominator from these guys is the fact that they are all running at this track. I'd like to see this car at another track... it would be funny to see it lose the 8 or 9 mph it's magically gained by running at this track.

Now was the trapps off at 2 different tracks also?? Vetteboy and I have similar trap speed and the same engine.

I'm not. I just go to the drag strip every now and again to see how changes I have made affect the car. If were overly concerned about et I would already have put the fab 9 in my car that's been laying in my garage for almost a year...lol

The title and first post was a way of sparking interest. You have to read the whole thread to understand.
Anyhow what happened to your motor? Are you sure it's shot? I know a great engine builder if you are interest.
I plan on keeping the stock Ls6 to race with after the race motor goes in and then back out.

it would appear that way, pulled the valve covers everything looks good up top, springs, push rods, rockers, have a knock on driver side, louder under car, so we shall see.
oh boy

I've posted the slips.....go look for them. Your not the only one that has asked for them. No vid though, not everyone runs around with a camera crew in their pocket......done told ya that too.
The problem is you and others don't understand that messing with the little **** sometimes adds up to more than the big **** your trying to mess with. But when you get the little **** right it works really good

I would like that. Mike Morris has been trying to get me to go to ATCO, he actually called me last night trying.....but that's a hell of a ride for me. So is MIR, about 3hrs. I went to MIR a couple years ago and broke a axle. Either is to far to go with the 10bolt in it, it will just break another axle when I get aggressive with it. The 10bolt can take 1.7 60's but when I try to get more out of it I get a axle as a prize.
