ask and tho shalt...! lol..so a disclaimer first...tryin out this new setup obviously required completely redoing the entire PSI-burn out-Launch RPM equation...and with only 7 runs for the day while I did have a couple of 1.7 60's(lol...timin light was goofy-I have a slip that shows I had a 1.0 and then a 1.2 60"! hahaha) it again was not until the last run that I was able to put a decent A-B together...and then it was against the fastest vehicle at the track that day...a 7 sec rail! can u say INTIMIDATING!!! rofl...serious fun tho except for fallin asleep at the light(to be fair I was havin a little prob with glare but old age will do that!)
weather was awesome with D/A goin from -410 to 400's by the afternoon...track was holdin good power and it truly was a driver's day... only prob is that while the Hoosiers are AWESOME tires and can really take a hit(launch RPM and final tire PSI will be withheld until the end!! lol) these were almost 30" tall tires!...prob a good 1.5+ taller than my Nitto setup...and now I have concluded WAY TO BIG for my car....currently...so I fought it and fought it but you can't over come physics and the taller tire kept me from my goal of 11's... so without further ado... and for the vid...checkout the rails burnout and then at the launch! JEEZUS K RYST! felt like I was drag'n my beloved by the heels kick'n and scream'n! (kiddin-luv ya hun!)...can you say perspective!....enjoy.. Shout out to HioSSilver, xc_SS/RS and lazerlemonta for joining me Sunday...good times and watch'n Phil take the 'vette to Almost 10sec! was a sight...back end starts to do funny stuff over 120...lol....peace! BTW-lol almost forgot(remember the old age comment...6000rpm at 16psi...and can I beat the drum...just a teensy bit? Stock clutch..stock shifter...stock trans...stock clutch hydraulics(just change ur fluid peeps!) stock drive shaft...hmmm...look at the sig and read it!....lulz teensy bit of clutch smell coming back to the pits...hit went right to the tires! they were mounted on 'vette rims...no bead sealer(or screws duh)...I marked each rim and on one hit where she almost dead hooked came back with about a 1/4 slip on the right side and 1/8 on the left...gonna have to keep an eye on this...may go back into the diff when I do the LPW cover and just get rid of the f*ck'n Belleville spring and replace with additional clutch(s)...we'll see...l8tr

and an additional shout out I wanted to do separately...dynoSteve(Steve) at RDP has IMHO been doing a fantastic job with my tunes...this latest update was to address the rev limiter(needed it higher)...I emailed him...told him what's up...BAM...updated FREE!...which he did...apparently along with a couple of other little (tweaks)..which is all he will admit to...lol...good for him... it is propriety info...and at this point the only thing that matters to me is the vehicles performance....after installing the updated tune and drivin it to verify the limiter the motor just had an overall "bigger" feel...not huge by any means...just a tad better...and based on my ET's with these huge a$$ tires...I dare say with my Nittos I very well may have had my first 11 sec time slip....and while that would have SERIOUSLY made my day...I still came away with a boat load of new data points for the old cranium to mull over and a further verification of just how f*k'n tough these cars really are...setup properly....driven properly...once I got the PSI to the proper settin? ZERO HOP!...just ask yourself...can you do this with your ride? peace

I think they changed something on C5 and C6 in regards to video's, they wont show up anymore, I had it happen today as well. Have you recorded one of your good 12.0X or 12.1X passes and sent it to Steve for analysis and adjustment? He always squeezes out another tenth or so for me.

Frank, you have any mods in the front suspension to help with the weight transfer?
