When you get other 4 to 5 pounds of boost you will have your self a car that drives to the track runs 8.50s and drives home.
Not many people can say that. Very impressive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice And it is good to hear that the RPM transmission is holding up great. I think I will have to have mine redone by them here in the near future.

On a drag radial to boot I think that would also make you the fastest IRS Corvette on a radial for a long time to come.

Bill Maloney has gone 8.50's on a drag radial with an IRS C5 , but it's not a true street car , not driven to the track , ( Turbo-400 , Fuel cell , Air 2 Water IC etc) but I am the fastest IRS C5 with an A-4 overdrive trans , driven to the track .

What stall converter..do you have transbrake?
Awesome times but your engine is not that mild..you have good heads on there and cam. Shoudl throw on a fast 92/92 just to see what car does pick up.Must be holding it back a bit with that ls6 and small tb.

And who needs a solid roller if you can get times like that!

Excellent..

I'm running a Midwest converter , 3400 stall , drives great on the street , if you watched the video you can see I have a transbrake . In regards to my engine being mild , I consider any engine with a stock block , hydraulic-roller cam , stock rockers and intake , to be mild . If I could afford a solid-roller set up and a sheetmetal intake it would make a big difference in the power band .
