Default GM hitech performance Anger management vette?

Ok this car gets a very good 60ft..and they said it has around 450 rwhp which is possible with its trik flo heads, fast intake, the cam specs in the article. But how is it possible even with its 3188 raceweigth to trap 138mph and do 9s. ?This seems against all the laws of physics! I would seem to me it will require at around 700 engine to go 138mph in the 1/4. And this is stock bottom block no spray , no turbo or super. They even checked the bore and stroke in the article. How can this be possible. Are there any other similar modded vettes or f bodies running anything close to this mph with so little hardware?

Baffling..

Check out corvetteforum.com there a guy with screen name "robZ". Check him out. This is under the Z06 fastlist. I believe he got head/cam, gears. He might be on this site too. Not sure though.



9.985 @ 138.80--1.428 --robz

But, I don't think there are many of those cars. He's a really good driver.

There's an AMR cam only car over in the Eastern section (Demonicbird00) that has gone 10.99.
Car went from 98.11mph in the1/8 to 127.45mph in the 1/4
That's 2 cars outta there that I know of with big MPH differences from the 1/8 to the 1/4
Both stick cars.
They must be doing something right over at AMR

Rob has been banned from here.. I'm guessing because shops like TSP are pissed that AMR is beating their gutted racecars by almost 4mph in the 1/4.

I know why he was banned and that's not the reason.
TSP has nothing to do with that nor does any other shop (sponsor) on here.

I think it was. We all know it's about money.. and the advertisers have the mods in their pocket. Maybe it was the people with 400+ ci racecars petitioned him off the site because he was trapping the same or better than they were?

I'm just asking... no bad intent intended.

I think he has a killer setup and didn't come up with it overnight. He has that car hooked up for sure. Seen alot of people complaining that there is no way he can get 30+mph in the last 1/8 mile. Well I got 24mph in my last 1/8 and my car only had a CAI on it, 92.77 in the 1/8 and 117 in the 1/4.
I believe rob and what he has done. He said it is all in the keeping the motor in its power range. Anybody can spend money on heads and a cam. He tried lots of different setups and found the right setup.
Wierd how a bone stock C6Z can run high tens with et streets, then a car like rob's come along with more hp than that car, plus suspension mods, trans, etc. and pulls a high 9 and lots of people complain. He beat the ever livin snot out of that car going down the track. As in the video above. Don't forget about the video of a CAi and full exhaust mustang gt in the high 11's. Yea he beat the **** out of it, just like rob, but he did it.

forgot about that:
East coast DA'???

That alone is good for 4 tenths
Some killer times on the east coast too!

Its all in the setup of the car and rob nailed it, big time! The article in GMHTP backs up rob and his car. Besides if I was him and owned my own shop i wouldn't tell everybody what is done to the car. That would just ruin what he has accomplished by every other shop out there use that setup.

I have talked to hiim on the phone before and he was very helpful with my questions about a clutch for my car and how to set it up.

He should be unbanned from this site. Weird this is something that somebody would be banned at the corvetteforum for.

I read the article this morning, I haven't seen or heard about the thread on here. But it seems to me he has that car dialed in perfectly.
