Also, I think I'm going to have to put suspension on the to-do list based off the second race with the Z06.



My best so far is 11.63 on motor, but I'm hoping to shave another tenth or two off it. With a better set of tires I think you have a good chance of cracking your 10 second goal. The new gears should definitely get you there consistently. We'll all have to hit up LVD on a rental because I have the feeling they'll be asking us to leave on a regular track day

Race 1- ScreaminRedZ vs 04 Mach 1
Great race, was happy to be able to line up with ScreaminRedZ after trying for a couple weekends. Overall I was pretty happy with the results, 2nd gear hit from around 45mph to 110mph or so, with me slightly pulling up top. A little spinning at first but nothing major, Ive had some belt slip issues ( been through 2 6 rib belts in 400miles and alignment is spot on) but I dont think it was any deciding factor. I dont think we could have asked for better shifts or driving.

Race 2- ScreaminRedZ vs 04 Mach 1
As ScreaminRed Z said before, basically the same result with me pulling a little up top. We got up to around 120mph this time, would have been interesting to see what would happen if we had another 15-20miles an hour. ScreaminRedZ has a strong running car for sure. I know hes run 11.5 all motor ( correct me if I am wrong ) so I know its solid 10 sec car with spray. My goal was to have a consistent 10 second Mach 1 and lower once I get it dialed in so far it seems like I am on track.

Race 3- C6 Z06 vs 04 Mach 1
We raced from around 60-150mph, I wanted to start a little higher to avoid any traction issues. After the intial hit the Z started pulling 3/4 of a car to a full car, my 3.55s gears killed me ( I have a viper spec t56 with 2.97 which makes it even worse), if the video gets uploaded you guys can clearly see the difference of when I am in the powerband. The second I hit 5000rpm I started creeping up and in 4th pulled ahead up top. But dam those C6 Z06s move out, awesome car and nice owner as well.

Great races all around and a great day, one of the best Ive had to be honest. I still have to dial the car in yet, needs more tuning, need to fix the belt issues, etc. Going into the build I didnt know the Mach 1 would make the power it did on only 12psi, I guess my Mach 1 is the experiment for the new F1-D blower Im the only guy running it on a Mach 1 so far so Im going into new territory. Instead of the 8 rib kit, I am now leaning torwards the house of boost renegade system, Im pretty sure this would make my belt slip/breakage a thing of the past. The car is easily good for 700whp-750whp, so hopefully with this setup I can turn up the boost and take the thing to the track 10s maybe even high 9s down the road.

Based on your results with SRZ on the spray and the times he and I have messed around with him on spray, it should all come down to what speed you wanna start from. I'm down for as many different runs and speeds as possible just to see the strong points for each of us, but I'll make a few predictions (assuming you can hook from these speeds):

I definitely can't wait to give it a shot, though. That Mach 1 is nasty and once you crank up the boost I probably won't have anything for you except for maybe from a 40-50 roll up to about 100.

I'm sure belt slip played a part due to the current 6 srib setup, but the long gears and lack of a sticky tire didn't help it either. It's fast already and is only going to get faster as it's dialed in!

I had gone back and forth with the idea of putting them in but with the 2.97 t56 my gears are just way to long with a centrifugal blower, I see a lot of guys even running 700whp+ using the 4.10s with the same combo.

I race an 08 R6 with intake, headers, power commander etc. The rider weighs around 240 but he can ride, we went 3 times from 50mph-110mph or so 60mph-130mph and 70mph-135mph, at the speeds you mentioned it went almost exactly as you said. At 50 he would jump out immediatley but by the top of third I would stop the pull and pass him around 100mph everytime. Every race from 65-70mph it would be an even hit and I would pull, I think the last race up to 135-140mph I put on at least 4 to 5 cars. I ran a stock 07 cbr600 with similar results so I am just curious to see how I would do. So much of racing bikes is the rider.

On top of the weight, shifting at the right RPM, and obviously starting in the right gear, you wouldn't believe how much of a difference powershifting makes on these things. That's what I love about my 600 and being at the weight I'm at: I can just punch it WOT and powershift any gear without needing to feather it like I would with a 750 or 1000. It makes a huge difference and feels completely different than speed shifting (assuming it goes into gear and doesn't nail neutral, which happens sometimes on these things when you powershift 1-2).

I'm good for some runs anytime. I weigh in at about 170 with full gear on (helmet, jacket, gloves, etc - I actually weigh 153 pounds) so I'm guessing it will be a different race than when you ran your buddy at 240 pounds, although he did have some mods. We can do all different speeds and with and without a passenger in your car. I know the passenger doesn't help you out but it would be cool to see some videos of a few races, so we can do both if you're up for it. I'm definitely excited to run a car other than SRZ's on spray that will actually be a good race. There are plenty of them around but most aren't interested in running a bike.

My tensioner came in today, so before I started the 8rib conversion I wanted to get the car dynoed car to see the difference in the 6rib and 8rib, I know many people have said the boost comes on 300-700rpm quicker and hits harder up top. After the first pull the car made 553whp, lost 65-70 horsepower and 4 to 5 pounds of boost from the intial 619whp, and the dyno graph looked like an EKG from an ER . Really goes to show you how much of an necessity the 8rib is at certain power levels.

Now more than anything I am curious at what point the 6rib started failing. I definately didnt have a chance to watch my boost gauge at 140mph during our races, but it makes me wonder if this has not been an ongoing problem. After shredding 2 belts already in 400miles its most certainly leading in that direction.
