Thats faster then me. What was your 60ft?

I need to hit the track to see what the gear swap has done as far as time in my car.

 

my best 60 is a 2.043 whats yours?

 

You will be pleasanty surpriced with the new gears time

 

i got slower with gears :\ cant hook on street tires. go off line ez and soon as shift im sideways

 

Dats beekuz Joo needz da Tirez da Slikz.....lol

Zach- Good god I didn't know you were a short story writer too.

And damn you people ya'll went to BWW last week and then this week nobody wants to go? I'm not working tomorrow and might actually get to stay out past 9pm on a week night for once.....

 

now you're speaking my language!
Check your pm adam!

 

that's awesome Zach!

as far as the guy getting back to me with my engine... he got back to me this morning...

come to find out he bought three engines from a guy and he was told that they were all 5.3's and as he sold me the engine as a 5.3...

well when i got it home and pulled the heads off it turns out to be a 4.8... yes i was a little frustrated but what can ya do?

well, he emailed me and text me this morning appologizing for everything and asked me how he could tell if the others were 4.8's or 5.3's so i explained it all to him..

so basically we both got kinda jacked on the deal haha

im not too worried about it all. just gotta sell of this rotating assy and get me a different crank

so, hopefully ill get this block to the machine shop soon!!!

 

Lmfao! Totally not the way I intended you to take that but that'll work! I checked it...

 

Saw the vid. Try less of a burn out on street tires.

I noticed on the TBSS it'll dead hook if I just roll them over to clean them off and hop it a couple of times. When I did a decent burn out they would spin off the line. I also drop the pressure to 28 PSI.

 

Wow did the layout change? Or am I on crack?

I tried to find my timesplips but there MIA but I believe my best 60ft was around a 2.1 with my shitty gears.

Had the tires down to 19 lbs with a small rolling burnout out of the water holding the brake. No john force burnout here.

 

Avoid the water with street tires. It gets in between the tread and tracks it into the lane. Not good for you or the guys with slicks.

Also watch how much air you let out. Too low of pressure on radials makes the tread cup. This means you'll be trying to get traction on the outside of the tread instead of the whole tread.

 

idk i still have the stock 2.73 gears also

 

I don't drive through the water I know better then that Shannon and low tire pressure is not a good either also I've just found that the tires I have work decently with that air pressure well between 25 and 19 don't know why hopefully in the next couple of weeks with tax return I can get some stickier tires and really launch it

89camaro what rpm did you launch at?

 

idk i dident really pay to much attintion its a auto car so i just had it stalled up as high as i could get it on the break.

 

Hey, I took the stock 2004 C5 vert to dale on Sunday... it ran a 8.5 @ 83 mph with same run flat tires that come from the factory and a 2.01 60ft. Stock all the way to the paper filter minus an aftermarket muffler and tips.

A decent tire and it can run a 8.3, I am pretty sure.

 

I'm ready to go to Kennedale again. Who's down for this Sunday?

 

I'm down for sunday if the weather aint to bad. Earlier the better

 

I'm down
