Went to track Fri. Nite. Place was PACKED. got there a little late and only had time for one run. Boost only, no nitrous since this would be the first pass ever on this car and actually THE first I had ever driven this car. I had never even driven it on the street. Tires are WAAY too big! 305-45-18 did not work very well at all. Car would just fall on its face to a best 60 ft of 2.0. The car weighed in at 3920lbs with me in it (im 180). The power is there on boost to go low 11's/high 10's since it did 127mph on boost. we will be back out in the next few days with some smaller tires and the bottle in the car.

Man you really got to ride that clutch out of the hole, its hard on it but it works fine after you get it hot a couple of times. I have 315/35/18 and have cut low 1.60 short times on them.

First pass of the night the clutch always blows out some smoke, after that its fine. Youtube my car "OrangeChevyII" and watch how I launch.

Congrats on the making the passes in your car, I bet its a beast!

Man I tried that, but remember, I only had one shot and didnt slip it enough. brought it up to about 48-5000, released it a little too quickly and it grabbed before the car was rolling out enough to put it in boost and it dropped down below 2500 rpm. I should have tried some test launches on the street as this was my first time driving the car. Few more days and we'll be back out there giving it hell.

Are you guys turning all electronic off (tC/stabilitrac) or leaving it on?

Can you post the breakdown of your run 330'/660'/1000'/1320' (ET/MPH)?

No dyno time yet, Im sure its making 500 or more to the wheels, its a LG motorsports Gx6 cam. Most of the Ls3's they install it on make over 500 to the wheels.


As far as the weather......Dallas
