Don't worry about it man....He's poking at me because I have a crate ls6 in my car and last time out it went 11.1@130 n/a. They like to nay say my ****. They nay sayed when it went 11.5...again at 11.4....I worked on it more and got it again at 11.1@ 124.....I keep working on it and it keeps responding. My rear (7.5) has been keeping my et from getting better but the mph keeps goin up.

Oh I'm not worried about it just didn't know what he meant. If you went 130 NA with bolt ons that is awesome.

Thanks. Yes n/a and just bolt-ons......every bolt-on. It normally traps 126+. I made some changes and caught a really good day. It went 129-130.4 nine times that day. I actually went 129 once 2 weeks before that but I wrote that off as bogus. I recently made some more changes. I'll know more about how they will affect the car on tuesday when it gets strapped to the dyno.

Got that damn right

We all like to poke fun at Hio. I'm sure he can turn right back around and poke fun at me though so it is what it is

I was being sarcastic. In reality I'm definitely digging your LS6 C5Z. The C6Z is a badass car but lacks the "raw" feeling of a C5Z

I can definitely commend you running the number and putting in the blood, work, and sweat - but I dislike it when you pass it off as an average bolt-on swapped vehicle. It is definitely dialed in for what you have on it. You also fail to post summer times. I guarantee you aren't going to run as well now than you would off season (as we all know)

I don't go run it in the summer. I do other stuff and there isn't time for everything and I worked on ALMS cars for years at hot racetracks.....with hot rotors beaming in my face. So I avoid hot racetracks now. If it makes you feel better it runs best times when being hot lapped.

Got a new ski a few weeks ago and sold my RXP. A 08 RXP-X, I would much rather be on it than at a dragstrip in 80-100 degree weather.

How do you like your new ski? Been on it much?

Nice man!

I've been on it a lot. Parents are about 6 houses away from our lake access slip. Got it a month and a half ago and already have 25+ hours on it. Would be much more if I didn't have the boat to putt around in. Last day of work is Thurs., Aug 2 and have until Fri., Aug 10th to be a complete lake rat. Will virtually be on the lake sunrise to sundown until I go back to school

I'm thinking about upgrading to a supercharged jet ski in a few years when I get bored with this one. For now, I'm having too much damn fun. Nice to get home from work, play around, and head to the tiki bar, tie up, have a few drinks with friends, and play around again

All jetski's are fun. I started a couple years ago with a Polaris SLT 780. It was a blast, then I got a Shuttle Craft with a Yamaha Waveraider 1100. Then I road my friends RXP and I was like holy ****. I found this 08 Rxp-x with 7hrs on it and test rode it and could'nt believe how much better it was than the RXP. I've had the Rxp in my shuttle Craft and that worked great. I have to finish the rails and I'm sure the RXP-X will handle the Shuttle Craft even better.

lol all my buddies have RXP's my friend actually has one with a custom side mount with a gt35r turbo that does 88-90 on gps untuned right now, i also have a buddy who put an FZR motor on boost in a GP shell. Down here in miami people are doing 100+ on swapped GP's.

There is a local guy that won the world championship several years ago on a RXP. His hotrodded one runs in the mid 80's. That thing sounds nasty goin up the river. People do some crazy *** swaps on ski's anymore. I start tinkering with mine next year. I'd like to see it go in the mid 70's. You gotta be careful, you can make them unreliable pretty easily.

Big difference between gutted and weight reduced

Just think if it was gutted...it would be faster.

I love riding mine too much. Until the warranty is out, I'm not doing anything to deter reliability. I've went 61mph on water that definitely wasn't glass before and a full tank of gas. I'm content with my NA heavy new entry class waverunner that seats 3 for now.

For sure!! They are all nice and a 60 mph ski is plenty of fun. I'm gonna be on the water tomorrow!

Awesome kill OP.

This makes my urge to add a 150 kit to mine even worse while its currently in the shop swapping the TSP Torquer v3 cam with a custom grind.


And for everybody- the Cobra should be exactly where it is, seeing the taillights of the Vette run off into the sunset... Lol.
