Kevin I want you to post that video of you racing the honda's

2SSARME

No and no.

But please, do tell me more about your 115 trap cammed GTO.

Do it with a 2.15 60' like he did. The stangs need the 60' to get there.

I have never raced a new 5.0 or BOSS. Let me know if you want to do some rolls on one of these nice Indiana days

UBoysPlayBall?

This.

One thing that has really hurt my trap speed, is that I have to shift into 4th right after the 1000' foot mark. If i could rev it to 7k RPM's like the Z06, and keep it in 3rd gear I would pick up a few MPH. If you listen to my video you hear the shift, then the run is done

while i do agree your gearing isnt the best for the track, your not exactly a sally behind the wheel either. I dont doubt your car is quicker then mine as they both sit. But my point is between changing to long tubes and high flow cats (25-30whp) and changing to e85 (maybe 15hp?)...i cant see how these cars wouldnt be close. Hell i think there close now. Mine will be right around 460-470whp when done (that includes the lightened drivetrain ill be doing over winter) and weighing in right around 3275 (estimated based off where i have found weight to pull with swapping parts).

I just dont see it not being close. As far as aero is concerned..my gearing makes up for that. 125-165 in its 1:1 gear. Trust me when i say, it doesnt stop of slow down... it usually pulls a bit better actually.

I assume youre from indiana? If so im from RI. Your exactly the car id want to race. Good performer with a guy who can drive it

LS3_E85_Corvette

All good points, and I actually think it would be a really close race. I had no idea you were making that much power! Just for the record, I don't have cats

Mine made 417whp as it sits... but an 03 cobra with a 2.76 pulley, catless x pipe, catback, and air intake also made 416whp (for comparison since all dynos arent equal). Currently still on the factory cats and the shorty headers were for sound purposes before i decided i was gonna go further with the car and say screw the warranty. But between the driveshaft and headers/high flows, should grab another 30whp. I wish you were closer man, i wanna race a bolt on good driven ls3 vette. Im not the type to care about winning or losing. I just like close races. I think you would edge me out slightly as we sit. But by no way crush me as people would think. RI sucks... no one exists to race. At least not what i want to race

LS3_E85_Corvette

I'm the same way in regards to winning or losing. I have suprized myself with some of the cars I beat however, I will lose to a car I thought would be a easy win. It's all fun at the end of the day! how lucky are we to have these awesome cars anyway?

Find a reason to drive out to Indy this summer. Our car scene will not disappoint

If all goes according to plan.. ill have my car done by summer and ill have plenty of left over funds to make a trip out somewhere. Never been to indiana. What are the plans for the vette?

I'm surprised there's no vette's in your area evan.. vette's are a dime in a dozen... according to 90% of the keyboard warriors

lol there are vettes.. but there stock with old men driving them. The cliche vette scene i guess you could say. Theres no one my age with one. Not sure why. Can find some nice vettes for a lot cheaper then what it cost me to get the boss. Only ls3 vette i know of is my buddys fathers z51. He drove it to 12.3 at 117 on street tires. He actually had a good launch but spun on the 1-2 shift. Old man can drive too lol...which is rare. Other then that though. Theres nothing. Ive been looking for a stock c6 z06 to race for about 3 years now.. whenever i see one, its usually on the opposite side of the highway

LightningTeg

We really do have a solid scene out here. Mostly cool people too.

BlueWKforDAYZ

I would have to agree, I feel a trip to ohio comming on..

LS3_E85_Corvette

I'm dialed in with the Vet at the moment. I might do a Ported Throttle body over the winter, but that's it. I'm waiting on the base C7 to really start modify. I need to keep this car as close to stock, so it has some good resell value.

Where and when?

Port the manifold and leave it alone then. Be a solid running bolt on car. Prob get her to trap in the 124-125 area with some good launches
