Default Finally, 8's for the TTV6

60' 1.368
330 3.761
1/8 5.778
1/8 mph 122.18
1000 7.515
1/4 8.991
1/4 mph 152.12

We went out to Norwalk yesterday for so racing.
Made my first pass and launched at 15psi and ran 23-24 psi for a 9.08
Second pass I launched at the same with 25-26 psi for the 8.99
Third pass I launched @ 16 and ran 26-27 psi and it spun pretty bad into 3rd gear for a 9.34
Fourth pass I dropped the tire pressure down and it hooked pretty decent but got real loose and had to let out about 300ft out.
Fifth pass I raised the tire pressure up a little since I didn't have another change of shorts. While in the staging lanes there was an oil down in my lane and I was still a little nervous from the pass before, I decided to take it back down to 25-26 psi and launch a little harder but the track just wasn't holding good enough and ended with a 9.01
Big thanks to my crew and Bob for all the help. Can't wait to get back to the track and chop away at some 8's

Video will be up soon

Pfft lose the wheelie bar.

As far as I know the next closest V6 f-body is in the 11's, but don't quote me on that. This is a HUGE achievement. Congrats!

Hey can we get a mod list? Or perhaps a link to one? Thats an awesome project man. Is this the original block or something out of a GN?

Wow thats awesome man. So are you seeing how far you can get this 3800? And why not use the 4.3 block. Just curious, I love different projects like this, and I dont know much about the v6 world other than GN's.
