Default First time out in 2006

Check out this video that Andre made for me...
http://s97997631.onlinehome.us/temp/...204%202006.wmv



The motor is an Auto Worx LS2 427 with ETP LS7 heads at 11.4:1 compression, electric water pump and an Armstrong Race Engineering dry sump. The gear is a stock Z06 3:42 with a stock drive line other than a stock tranny that my friend Marty built up for me with better parts and a shift kit. The converter has a 3500 stall that is a compromise between n/a and nitrous uses. Line lock and a good 6 point roll cage completes the deal.

All in all pretty easy set up, built motor and tranny with good tires and tuning.

Sorry about that. I wondered why nobody commented, it is a pretty good video.

Ya it is a C5, the link is working now. I am going out again this weekend with some warmer bottles and I am putting in a standalone fuel system so that I can put some more squeeze through her...I'll be looking for a mid to low nine outta her.

PS...here is the link again... does this earn me a '9 second club' title under my name?

Thanks, and I thought that I saw it under my name and then it went back to 'at the tree'.

I'll wear the badge proudly.

The horse power is a strong 520 rwhp during the initial tuning, should get more now that its broken in. The suspension is bone stock other than HAL QA1 adjustable shocks and the sway bar removed. The drive line is also bone stock other than a built up tranny.

Not sure but the MTO scales said 3150 (roughly) without me in, that would be 3360 with me in it, race weight...if the scales were accurate.
