Default TEA performance question

Are there any TEA powered Fbodys running 10s in the 1/4 or 6s in the 1/8 on all motor?

My car has the MPH to go 10s just haven't gotten the first 60' down. Launching a C5 is alittle tricky since the rear output shafts tend to snap like a twig.

HD- We will see.

Phillip - That is a great trap speed. What 60 would you need to cut to get into the 10s?

h53speed - It is white. I usually run 11s depending on track and weather conditions. My best is around 11.61 @ 115.8 with a 1.60 - 1.62 60'
What do you drive?

John, Larry's the POS M6 I was telling you about who got them also along with us. He has a VERY good shot at 10's and so do we if we can get good weather and some more weight off. You will have a better chance than me also cause weight's in your favor.

would be awesome if we all hit 10's with 224 cams wouldnt that be some hell

i dont care what I run, just as long as its 2-3 tenths quicker anyway

My trap speed was 124 and I really think I was short shifting. I made 4 passes and each pass I bumped the shift points up alittle and every pass went faster. Shifting at 6500 the car would trap 124. I really think I need to shift my setup at 7k. My new setup will be shifted at 7k+-200rpm and hopefully I'll see 127+traps.

Mine isn't in the 10's but runs good for having a 224 cam. It will go quicker when I get my suspension dialed in.

We all need to be down @ MIR to beat up on the stangs and vipers. I'll try to keep the MPH under 135 for the boys down @ MIR. I am shooting for 140 on the new motor

140 can i borrow about 12mph from yours atleast

Phill, you need to take out that speed unlimited 03 cobra running 10.9's. Show him what power adders really do

BTW, our club has MIR for Oct4th and you are welcome to bring the vette out and run with us some Bruce might need your moral support after the whoopin i put on him

Stu: Larry's worse than a damn import. He annoys the hell outta ya, but doesnt go anywhere fast

This is suprising. I would have thought 10s would have been in the bag with all these 400+rwhp cars around here.

Getting into the 10's is not as easy as some would think with H/C cars. The people that have done it, have well setup and driven cars. Props to them, wish I could get into the 10's too.
