Guest XLR8TNC5 Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 BTW Steve-O, you summed it up in THREE words, not one! lmao. But you know what, Ill let it slide this time because those are WICKED ass #'s! Makes me want to swap out my G5X3 cam for a PS02 and nitrous! I still want heads too. Anyway, I AM VERY VERY VERY happy for you and Im glad your cheeks hurt from smiling. I know the feeling. Everytime I drive my monster, I get the same "EXHILIRATING" feeling. I can't get the video to download right at the moment, but let us know when you are going back to the track. I want to see those 11's! SHAWEET!All my best, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest UVETTYA Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Thanks for the compliments everyone. I'm still on cloud nine, and probably will be for quite some time now. This thing is soooooo much fun to drive. The only complaint is that it has some serious traction issues. I have 250 miles on it now, and if Speedworld were open I'd be there. But it's prolly a good thing it's not, a little more break in won't hurt at all. I haven't launched hard but I've taken it to red line twice now. It used to drop off a little after about 5K with the stock cam but the new cam pulls hard all the way to 7000 rpm. Tanya, I plan on going to Speedworld next Sunday, and maybe even Monday, providing AZP&S can install my tranny brace. It didn't arrive with the Diff so I have to take it easy on the launches until I get that put on. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOTV8 Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 Congrats Steve-a-reno! That is stout. You might have to trade me test drives, my Hemi for your Z. Enjoy the Corvette Christmas! I'll be headin' to the track with you this January, Mr. Eleven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest XLR8TNC5 Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 Oh man, Im not sure if I can make it next Sunday. I may be a little "tired." lol. But I will definitely see what I can do because I want to see what YOU can do with that new monster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What have you done to get it to 12.1? That can't be a stock LT4. RobertIt's far from a stock lt1. Cam, intake work, Stage 2 port and polish with a complete Fererra(sp) valve train, AFPR, chipped, Lingenfelter TB, 160 t-stat, custom exhaust, 4:10's in the rear. All work done by MTI. Had an MSD 2 step that is now unplugged. When it was used it promptly threw the driveshaft or a half shaft out when used with strip tires. I can't remember what Robert had told me. He told me 12.1 at 113 was his best. Next step is supercharger and 500 at the rear wheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quadracr Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 I apologize as well for the hi jack. Trust me Dean, I have been wanting to get this thing to the track since I got it. I've just recently been turining off the traction control so I can "warm" the hides. I can't really get on it much for fear of braeking it. It's my dd until I get the truck running again. At that point I don't care if I poke a rod out the side. It's gonna get driven like it should, drag strip, drifting, whatever. I'm going to have fun with it.

I think we need to put Chris on a set of slicks and see what that car can do opened up! Tony went mid 11s at 125 with the same engine... should be interesting to see!
