After not having much luck at the track with my nitrous vert I decided to build a boost car for myself. I had great results out of a F1a 402 Z06 I built so I decided to build something along that line. I did not want to build my Vert due to it being a Vert. I had been looking for some time for a FRC and finally found one. Its a Black 2000 FRC MN6. It was totally stock other than Kooks 1 3/4 headers, Fast 90/90 and a Vararam CAI. The car had a bunch of miles but looks very clean. This is going to be my track car and the Vert is going back closer to stock for the street.

I am taking allot of the parts off the vert to build the FRC so this will actually be 2 builds at the same time. I am taking the drive train out of the Vert, Sold the short block (418 ls3) built a fresh 420 ls3 to get the car up and going while I build a RHS short block to handle more boost. The Vert was converted to auto with a level 5 trans so I sent it back to RPM to be upgraded to a level 7 with a trans brake. The running gear from the FRC will go into the Vert and it will be converted back to a MN6 car.

Here is the run down on what the build is at this time. It seems like I change daily what I am trying to build. This was supposed to be a track only car taking out ABS, air bags, heat and air, radio ect to get it as light as possible but have since changed it and I am putting back all the acc for some odd reason. It was going to be on race gas now its a E85 build. So here goes.

Hope to have the car layed down on the drive train this weekend. Fuel system won't be here till next week. Cage won't be here for several weeks. Money is running out and I haven't started putting my Vert back together and still lack a bunch of parts for this.

That's one serious build Any close up pics of the Cartek bracket?

02402ramair

I can get them. This is the 3rd set of Cartek brakets I have used with excellent results. I will be maxing out this F1R RHS motor and maybe stepping up to the F1X. I hope the 8 rib can handle the job.

I will post some close ups this weekend

very nice and clean build. you mind if i ask if those 28 hoosiers rub on the yellow Z?

02402ramair

They work perfect. I ran them on my Vert and will run them on the FRC. We have been running them on the Yellow vette over 4 years. 1.3x 60ft all day long

very nice. i just finished my 408 f1r build. . what kinda power you shooting for

02402ramair

I am kinda scared to max out a 4.085 bore LS3. I would hate to crack a sleave like Chris Steawart did. That's why I purchased a RHS block from Arun several weeks ago. I am shooting for around 18lbs or so on the LS3 so about 900rw and build the RHS to max out the F1R around 1100rw or whatever it will make at max impeller speed.

tirecraft

WOW !! Great workmanship

02402ramair

Watched the video of your car. Awesome for sure.
How much boost was that pull at?

Super clean work Kris! Can't wait to see this baby hit the track.

TheCartel

Nice build for sure!

Prop Job

Looks familiar, ha...except for the 400 extra hp. Looks awesome man.

0Arun@CCP

Looks badass buddy.

a/c man

Man that's a clean car looks new! you do awesome work! only thing Im worried about is the stock drive shaft I bent one and the high compression but I know you got it al figured out

a/c man

Do you have a business or just a private shop I would love to bring my junk up there and work with you great techs

a/c man

Sorry to ask but I need to ask why did you dudes take the car totally apart int, front clip ect. to clean? you can tell me to mind my own business but I'm impressed here and still learning from awesome builders like ya'll

TheCartel

a/c man, concentrated Simple Green and a scrub brush, rags, and power washer and a 100,000 mile C5 can look that new! The stuff works wonders and is not caustic.

avenger88

nice were at 26 lbs on pump and meth and like 970rwhp. . .seems real low for hp and real high for boost. Bret was telling us the borla stinger exhaust is a big restriction and could be losing alot of power with no blower intake. .hopefully we crack 1k. . .good luck with the build looks sick

I have never used the solid couplers on the drive shaft. This will be the first. One reason my nitrous vert didn't do very good last year is I found the stock couplers were rubbing the torque tube and melting. It had got so hot the rubber turned blue. It was kinda like I was putting on a brake the entire pass. bad thing is I didn't find the issue till I had bought all these parts and tore the other car down. I see a drive shaft in the future but money has ran out!

The Yellow Z06 is making 900rw runs 5.80's in the 1/8 and 1.3x 60fts all day long every pass and it runs a stock drive shaft.

Z06WANTED runs a stock drive shaft without issue

I hope the stock one hold out for a bit.
