Nice, what time did that C6 Z06 run? Looks like he was pulling at the end but you beat him to the end of the 1/4 mile?

Posted by Tinner (Member # 2688) on :
 
He ran a 12.3@120

Josh, you have .5 EASY to gain by launching that car!!!! Need an additional 3 seconds or so to your burnout aswell. That is unless you are on stock street tires.

Hey, never heard. Ever talk to Brad or did the problem go away???

Look forward to seeing you out there in the 06

Tinner, looks like fun man!

One thing though... You are leaving 0.2 on the table in shifting alone.

I need to get my rear end fixed or upgraded . If I launch the car hard it spin 1 tire
And yes Brad did re-tune my car today ,It's much much better.He's a stand up guy I'm glad I took my car to RPM thanks.

Hey Luke How ya been man? I have to make sure to hit every shift on the N20. I have not hooked up my window switch yet so one missed shift = BOOM.

Nice video! Good job taking down the Vette.

I love seeing fellow Mach1 owners burning the track up.

Your car is capable of an 11 second run with 113mph but you have to get your 60ft's down.

I ran a 12.41 @ 109 natural with 4:30's and ET Streets with a 1.71 60ft. I'm sure your car will be in the 11's with a better 60ft.

See you at the track!

That is not neccessaryily true about what you said with the nitrous. Im running a 150shot, that is dyno tuned on a flip chip, with only a wide open throttle switch. I've missed many shifts and bounced off the limiter tons of time and i've had absolutely no problems.

Posted by lxlaw (Member # 7547) on :
 
nice run, car seems to be running pretty good, I assume you are running street tires. That was a bad ass Vette.

Mfracing, which bike were you on. I was on the red Kawi Zephyr 750 with no badging. I made it to the semi's when I broke out against my cousin on the green Triumph Bonneville. My Dad took it all again on the red Bonneville. My other cousin was racing his Zephyr 550 with the ghost flames, but he went out in the 1st round. He just picked up a Harley last week, so maybe he'll have it out there.

Tinner, what exhaust do you have on that thing. It sounds great inside the car. Were those runs on Nitrous?

Mfracing, I just noticed that this is a couple weeks old. I was refering to the 4th when I was out there.

What tires are you running? Also have you tried going out to the parking lot before you run and just do some figure eights? Not burning out but just driving at a good rate of speed and doing pretty tight eights. That some times does the trick for some rearends.

---

BFG DR's
I will give that a try

Posted by 98slowhoe 'FIFTYLX' (Member # 895) on :
 
You should be cutting better then 2.0's and a new car like that shouldn't have that rearend problem. I would for sure try the figure eights. I know it worked every time for my first mustang. Had 3:55's in it. I would cut 1.8's with Nitto DR's with a RPM intake, acufab TB and long tubes only.
