11.963 @ 112.57, bolt on C5!! Thanks Vette Doctors! Last Saturday I hit Long Island Motorsports Park on Long Island, NY, to test out my new converter. I recently ordered a Yank SS4000 and Mike at Yank rushed it out to me. The day after it arrived, The Vette Doctors squeezed me in so I would be able to have the converter in the car with enough time to break it in, and test it out Saturday.
At first I almost didn't go because the weather wasn't too great. Hot, sunny, and humid. But since I wouldn't be able to make it next week due to other plans, I decided to take a ride out there.
My first pass of the day I spun a little off the line since I didn't have a good burnout. The burnout/staging area there sucks, plus everyone has to drive through the water(if it's not all dried up). But after seeing my 60', I knew it would be a good day.
Here's the breakdown of my passes.
60' E.T. MPH Time Notes
1.78 12.123 @ 112.27 1535 Tire pressure 14#
1.62 12.047 @ 113.37 1549
1.72 12.084 @ 113.11 1636
1.69 12.060 @ 112.40 1651 Lowered tire pressure to 12#
1.67 12.005 @ 113.31 1701
1.72 12.068 @ 112.80 1715
1.63 11.963 @ 112.57 1724
1.71 12.043 @ 111.93 1735 Lowered pressure to 10.5#
1.69 12.035 @ 113.06 1744
1.72 12.002 @ 113.07 1749
The DA was around 1200 when I made the 11.96 pass. Comparing slips and the DA to 2 weeks before at the last Corvette Challenge, it appears I took 2.5 tenths off my E.T. from going from the SY3500 to a SS4000.
My mods consist of The Vette Doctors tuning, The Vette Doctors race prepped tranny, Yank SS4000, TPIS headers, Dr. Gas offroad X-pipe, PRT's, CCW drag package, 3.73 rear prepared by ECS, LS6 intake manifold, and the VaraRam.
I only see 2 problems with this setup so far, the need for a roll bar, and I'm going to need to find something to assist with traction so I can be consistant. I may take my front sway bar off again, but I'm not sure how much it actually helps, plus it's a PITA to keep swapping on and off. I might also be considering a set of Hals. Too bad they don't make E.T. Drags or Hoosiers in 26x10x16.

Re: 11.963 @ 112.57, bolt on C5!! Thanks Vette Doctors! I'll be honest, I've never been to the track, but I saw that you made 10 passes, that's awesome! I guess the reason I don't go is because it's an hour and a half drive to the closest track, and your lucky to get two passes all night. At Moroso so I'm told. Cool to hear you hit 11's.

Re: 11.963 @ 112.57, bolt on C5!! Thanks Vette Doctors! The 11.96 is impressive considering your mph (power indicator) isn't that high. To be honest, I'd be upset if I wasn't running high 11's with a big converter and the rest of your mods.
