Twin turbo LT1 track results Went to the track today, thanks to Steve Shoemaker for lending me his wheels/tires. (welds with 26x11.5 15 et street)
I made 3 passes, (track was not happy that I did not have a fire suit or 4pt harness).
I need some more time to find the sweet spot launching with the 2-step, but it's getting there
Specifics of the run were, 80 degree ambient temps, 23lbs of boost, mix of citgo 110 and 93, 3,740lb raceweight, through the exhaust (no cutout), driven to/from the track. 357ci and 218/218 cam.
I need to make some ducting to my intercoolers, or switch to air/water, as my IAT's through the traps were 188 degrees

. Congrats Jim! How did the car brakes hold up when slowing after you finished. Not looking foward to using both feet to stop the car.

Thanks guys.
Brakes are barely good enough. I've got the Baer 13 track kit up front, and stock in rear but I really have to stand on the brakes to barely make the return road.
My rotors have some pretty healthy cracks now.

Video will be up in a few days.
Trans is great.
Cold weather and better #'s are just around the corner.
(Allthough it was nice cruising around with the A/C on today)
