I didn't realize anyone was this close to me, the next time we all go to Milan, I'll hit you up! For sure. I'm right off of 75, mile marker 156.. we need to meet up for sure!

If traction is there definitely a 10 second ride!

don't hurry and install the new parts, that way you can do a comparison as you add more things.

I'm looking forward to your results. As I've stated in many threads I always "hear" of AGP cars running xxx at the track but no one ever post their results.
I have been posting, but elsewhere. Mine is a stock LS3 with a mild tune and 615 at the wheels. I have been through a Centerforce DYAD (now dead), stock 1le diff, and now with a ZL1 diff and a Street Slayer Carbon.

I would say my car is a bit weak on the low end but pulls hard at the top. 10s seem far away.

I think my car weighs about 4,100 pounds now. Even without my 230 pound fat butt in it.

I do agree with not many posting AGP results. Not sure why.

OP You can do better than me with practice I am sure. But don't expect too much the first time out. Focus on the launch. The rest comes easy. My shift light really helps me from banging against the rev limiter. If you are on a stock diff do not expect it to survive long. I blew my 1LE posi on a dead hook launch. I was flat-bedded home. But the track was happy, My case survived so I dumped no gear oil.

I'm #22:

It appears to me, just from reading threads, most, not all, of the AGP cars are M6's and not auto's and it also appears to me there have been very few interested in running it at the track. "They" seem to be more concerned with street racing.

Be interesting to see op's results.

I have a very similar setup to fraxum just Ecs vs. Agp. Im no john force that was only my second time to the track with this car, first time with zl1 rear,rims/tires, and clutch. Only made one pass before and smoked stock clutch.

Thanks for the replies, I have already installed the BAP, but for now keeping boost as is. Like suggested am going to make a few runs on the stock rear end. Before I swap it out to the new ZL1 setup.

A big difference is the 60. Lunching my car is very tricky. My best 60' is 1.73 on NT555Rs. Most of the time I bog.

Well I was installing my LNC-2000 today and broke my clutch pedal position sensor. I dont know if they will have the part in, tomorrow, in time for me to get to the track. That plus there is rain in the forecast. So looks like next weekend will be better for my first time out.

I'll go with mid 12's @ big mph if you can get it all working right. Going 10.9 first time would be a great accomplishment but it's taken my local friend who did it a bunch of tries.
I agree with this. While some people are naturally good at dragging, others take time to get good. If it is your first time out then I would say probably around the 12s but with like a 130 mph. Experience counts for a lot in racing.

I think it is especially easy to get discouraged with turbos and a manual. I know I still have days where things are not going right and it is difficult to get into the 11s even with the power I have. The killer is the 60'. With turbos and a stock engine, the weaker low end makes the m6 tricky to launch.

The clutch must suffer. Weirdly the stock clutch was easiest to launch.

Right now my car is running great and nothing is broken. I am tempted to skip the summer and try for the 10s in the fall. But then there is that seat time thing......
