LOL...like a bad penny, this thread comes back from the dead.

Rob's car is no joke...he's worked hard to get it to where it is. There will always be the doubting minds who for whatever reason just won't accept reality. So be it.

No nitrous...no turbo...no supercharger...pure N/A power from a little ole' 346...and a 9 second time slip @138 mph.

RobZ had it at a rental back in late April (I was down in Florida and gave him my blessing to put a few runs on it) and he went 10.4@133+ with a not so great DA, no weight removal what so ever, and a 1.54- 60'...of course, the clutch got toasted when he cut a 1.4X-60' and I have yet to get it in to have it fixed...therein lies the rub...I haven't had much time (work), though I going to try to get it in this coming week....a poor excuse is better than none.

Its a sad year when I get to more Corvette Challenges than you...
I'd invite you to our rental in October, but I know its too far.

Ditch the clutch, go with an auto!

All I know is that corvette leaves out like a freaking raped ape!!! I think its possible, stingy dyno, good air, low elevation, great launch, and he freaking shifted that car like I have NEVER seen before.

I know that a faceplated transmission is good for a tenth or more. Something about no lift shifting thats all.

Is there a new motor in this car?

I've seen a picture of an ITB intake and a video of a 9.67 @ 143...

Yep, new 388ci all bore motor

We made 596rwhp 495rwtq on a Mustang dyno that reads 10-13.5% lower than a dynojet.
roller cam
tfs 245heads
4.10 gears
~104 octane

Peak power was climbing @ 8000 but the car will not go above that.
The stock PCM is shutting off the fuel. Have to look into that one some more to rev the motor out further.

First pass out we ran 9.64@143+ 1.39 60 ft

Awesome...

So what's the goal with the new motor?

I can promise you that the expectation is high considering what you guys were able to do with a heads/cam 346...

We have a few goals and met 2 of them on the first pass, which is just insane! 1st was just to beat our old times with the 346 H/C, 2nd was to beat the N/A corvette record held by our good friend Danny DBN with his 427 auto C5, and last goal is to take the C5 six speed record.
