Default QTP/Cartek Corvette LS3 Runs 11.56@120

Figured i would let the cat out of the bag. If you dont know i bought a silver 2008 Corvette. The main purpose was to finish up our header and our Screamer catback. It was getting very difficult to borrow a car when we needed to make a change.
I called up Cartek and talked to Dave about dyno testing for the car. Funny thing they Dave was looking for a LS3 to do some testing on. So we put our prototype tri y headers and screamer catback on with a K&N intake. The 08 have a stock x pipe which our headers bolt up to. Sent it over to Cartek. After Julio did his magic, the car pulled 419/411. Up from 393/383.

While i was away at the SEMA Show Dave put some drag radials and ran 11.8@122. I was shocked at the mph. Then they ported the intake and tb. gained some more hp and i picked up and raced this past wednesday. I put on my Camaro 17x11 TT2 rims with 315/17/17 Nitto DR.
[img]Best pass with me was 12.0@116. The Nittos where brand new and was spinning. I saw that the Corvette Challenge was running on saturday so i went out.

First Pass
1.740 11.89@116.27 Bogged
Second Pass Came out harder and slight bog
1.63 11.56@120.02
Third Pass Bracket Racing and bogged bad
1.74 11.75@118.40

Gave the keys to Dave, he wasnt thrilled that i drove the car quicker then he did
1.718 11.60@119.33
Also Dave forgot to pen up the mufflers
He bogged bad but he shifted alot better then me. The Nitto DR were hooking well.

So he went out again and the stock clutch tapped out for the day. Not toasted just yet. Hope it has a little bit more left.

So far best ET is 11.56 and Best MPH is 122

The car is going back to Cartek for more power making parts. We have a track rental day the 26th.




Specs on the car:
2008 Corvette LS3
MN6
QTP Prototype Tri Y Headers
Stock X Pipe
QTP Screamer Catback (Our Dual Mode System)
KN Air Intake System
Cartek Ported LS3 Intake
Cartek Ported Throttle Body
Cartek Dyno Tuned
315/35/17 Nitto Drag Radials for the track


Hope to have some new times with the new set up on the 27th.

Also hope to have our products out of production by beginning of next year.

Nice time Barry! Your shift must be getting better! Pretty soon you will be running faster than me, if I dont spray. Love the way that C6 sounds.
