We've had our customers 02 Black Z06 out there the last 3-4 test'n'tunes in a row...It should be out tonight again...
Two weeks ago it cracked off a 10.82 @ 129 n/a with a 3300 DA in the head, (LS3 blocked, LS7 headed, 6-speed), hoping for 10.5-10.6's @ 130+ tonight with better air and traction... Then itll be ready to make a few spray passes and get kicked out for no cage.

I expect the average guy to not understand why cars do/don't run certain #'s on a new combo...but little suprised to hear that from an "experienced" shop owner/builder/racer..
This is not my shop car...this is a customers street car. My shop car will be at the Pinks All Out race at Famoso,...(LS powered/F2 procharged foxbody). Hope to see other LS shops best offerings at the race..
I took the car out twice with the rev limiter/shift points set low, leaving soft/driving soft to make sure all the bugs are sorted out on the car... Im not big on beating on customers stuff hard, I'll leave that to them. Its their car, let them have the glory of putting down a good #.
This car has made one trip to the track with the customer driving the car for the first time two weeks ago, his first passes at the track in almost two years, learning to drive the car. He cracked 10.82 @ 129 with a 1.78 60' spinning hard. It was his first time using the 2-step etc, he'll get it sorted etc. It went 1.5 60' fts with the old 346" motor..hes got 2-3 tenths left just in the 60 foot.
Actually car is a bit under 427 inches (I guess i misspoke above), with a budget LS3 blocked deal with some LS7 heads setup to fit the smaller bore, ported ls7 intake. Im not a big fan of the lack of rear gearing and the M12 geared tranny either but he likes it. Motor cost ALOT less than a LS7 blocked or resleeve block deal.... Its made 585 at the tire, so i'm sure ill see quicker and quicker as he gets more seat time and gets it to hook.

It sounded more like a "whats wrong with your car, mine runs 10.5 @ 136 with only such and such"...
message board / internet REP??????? lol...geez...I dont think thats too big of a concern here or we'd sponsor if I needed the work....Ryne, ill buy you a beer sometime, dont be so thin skinned...
Shop vs shop comparisons lead to no positive outcomes from my experience..just makes you look bad to both of your customers...everyones in this for the same reason and hopefully alot of bad *** cars come out everyones perspective shops..
