Default Some fun over the weekend

Made a little trip to 3rd honk country. Met the 3rd honks guys and set up some friendly runs. Real cool guys and was fun. Too bad my 3rd gear finally took a crap though. Rebuild coming though. You can tell from my dig run its toast lol Enjoy!

119 should definitely result in better than low 12's/high 11's with a decent 60.

Why are you against stalling your car?

It's all in the 60. But I would give most of the credit for that car moving like that to the stall.

Just don't want a stall sucking up power and creating heat. My stocker is fine for now. I ran a pretty decent sized cam in my last vette without a stall. I honestly don't see the need for the type of racing I do.

Physics come into play. A cam/bolt on 4 door family sedan at g8 weight going 11's is impressive no matter how you cut it.

Should get a trans cooler for sure. Those 6l80s run hot as is.

Trust me brother, I know it. This is what happened to the 6L80 in my last Corvette:




I've been running this one for a year or so now. Trans fluid hasn't been above 185° while doing multiple hard pulls. That's the hottest I've seen it go and it was 104° outside.

How much power on that unit?

You see, I love Ls3 C6s. Want a 6l80 one. The 6l80 just scares me as I want a centri blower and they are just so hit and miss.
