As for the LMR Corvette, all I have to say is this car is going to fly at the next event.

First pass Friday morning I ran it on wastegate only just to check everything out and to get used to making a pass at the mile with the parachute. Clicked off a record setting 222mph pass. I was amazed at how quick she ran on just wastegate.

Well, after the camaro blew a tire I decided to put a set of hoosiers on the car for safe measure. Next pass we turned the boost up and she was on a lick but I ran out of RPM in 4th gear with the shorter tire and knew if I put it in 5th she would break the stock TR6060 trans, still went 211mph on that pass. After that I decided not to run her anymore, I didnt want to take a chance putting the MT drag radials back on her to try and better Hinsons 224mph corvette record. I decided to just wait until the next event.

Enjoy!

The 5th gear set is very small in the T56 and TR6060 transmissions. It wont stand a chance when 1500+rwhp is put to it, it will just sheer all the teeth off.
