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 .
