No it's stock height. I have 18/19 rims vs stock 17/18, not sure if that's a factor here... it actually felt pretty good as far as load transfer, but it was my first outing in the vette. I think I can drop my 60ft to 1.9 with better throttle control off the line, just got to find her sweet spot.

Yep....Axle gave up the ghost. lol Can't say that it was entirely unexpected...we were actually talking about it before hitting the track. I was at least hoping to make a few passes though. Even though I broke, it was a great night spent with some really awesome people. Lot's of laughs to be had, for sure. I'm currently trying to determine my options with DSS for some axle upgrades. The axles in the car currently were $650.00 from Dutchman, but inner and outer CV's were pretty-much OEM 8.8 stuff. I'm trying to retain use of the Dutchman axles, but it just might not be possible....in which case, it's 8.8 time and $2k in DSS axles. We'll see though.

He was running a BABY shot with it running rich. 127 considering it was the only time he had sprayed it and immediately got the boot isnt bad. Also the large tires, he needs more powa.

Yeah, I was hoping to save a few $$$ by retaining use of the Dutchman bars, but it looks like it's going to have to be all new. So, I'm ordering their "900hp" setup and a WaveTrac for the 8.8....should prevent any future issues, and allow for some extra "go" in the future. 3-week build time for the axles kinda sucks though...

Yeah that guy who was driving the zl1 was the same guy who was driving a 14 camaro ss last time and I beat him back to back last time so he traded in the ss for the zl1.. I was just having a hard time concentrating last night. My head was not in it.. I bogged every single launch and spun 2nd nearly every time. Oh well, still fun!
