Nitrous G8 GT vs Vortech FRC from a dig A few of us were hanging out yesterday, enjoying the great weather (it was supposed to rain all day, so you can't beat that), and my friend asked if I'd run him from a dig. He just got MT drag radials and has been looking for dig runs, but not many cars were out. I told him hells yeah and we went out to make it happen.
Bear with me as we weren't planning on filming the runs, so you'll have to take what we could get, lol.
His car is a very clean FRC with a Vortech T-Trim, Corsa Catback, and Mickey Thompson drag radials. It put down 513 rwhp on Slowhawk's Mustang Dyno:
We raced three time, all dig runs. The first was with no passengers and I got out on him off the line and held him off until about 95 mph, where he cranked by me. My friend got that race from a parking lot off the strip:

The second race wasn't caught on video, but we lined up 3 wide on the highway with PSM making up the third on his bike. PSM murdered me and the vette pretty badly. The vette got a good launch and we were side by side for a couple gears and then he started running away hard.
The last run was caught on video from in my car:

Obviously I was spraying for all races, lol. He's hoping to get the vette to the track soon. We all had a blast and are hoping to set up more runs in the near future

I wouldn't get a converter unless its atleast a 3200. After a week of driving you will be used to it and wonder why they dont come stock with one haha.

I had a 2800 stall in my old LT1 and it was great for driving everyday. Not the best performer at the track, but that's not the purpose of this car. They are never exact anyway, so 2800-3000 is probably the range I'll be looking at. I was originally going to keep the stock converter.

Shane is still on the stock rear, among many other stock parts, and probably damn close to 700rwhp now. The bias ply tire definitely makes a world of a difference though. Another local has a TT G8 and on all stock parts, but doesn't hit the track nearly as much as Shane.
