Default Made a 9.67 pass yesterday at Beech Bend
I've had my car apart all summer modding it. All that works finally paying off. I did the install work myself in my garage. Big thanks to Brian Tooley for the cam and headwork he did for me and James Short @ Shortuning for tuning the car. Here's a Youtube link to my Homegrown ZR1 doing work.

I also need to thank Bruce (Fartpipe) for helping me with launching the car. He's always had his phone on him when i'm at the track helping me.

No while I had the motor out I went ahead and installed the RPS BC3.

Nope. Lineloc is even better on a manual car. I used to do the heel and toe method, but lineloc makes it so easy to do a good controlled burnout.

frc, great job! Congrats! Guys like you are blazing the trail for ZR1 owners.
