Im on bias ply Et streets not DR. I shift at 6800 the limiter is is at 7300 so it has some flare room when it shift. I'll post another vid before my H/c swap on my nineteens so u can hear the shifting. I think my new tune is softening my shifts , tell me what u think they seems better with that tune when I was bolt on

You don't happen to know the back spacing do you? Wanting to order some and I want to make sure I get the right ones... I didn't know a 17in rim would fit on the front... Hmm.
Can you get 17x12 with those rims and is there a reason you went with x10's??.. Also, how much was your setup and where did you get your rims and tires from, if you don't mind me asking?
So when you put bias plys all the way around, the bad sway stopped? I don't like running bias plys and factory fronts as it gets a little loose to say the lease.. It wants to dance all over and it's not fun.
Isn't bias plys or straight up slicks easier on your drivetrain? I know you hook better, but doesn't the flex in the sidewall help to keep things from breaking?
If I switch to a drag radial with 17x12, 17x10, or keep the factory C5Z rims for now'... What's the best DR, bias ply, or slick to get, hoosier, M&H, MT??? I've always ran MT slicks on other cars, but I'm seeing more and more Hoosiers lately.
If I stay on the C5Z fronts for now (which I probably will), what's the best DR for that rim? 17x9.5 rim... I think. Might just be cheaper right now to buy some skinnies and throw a bias ply on em, until I can afford the rears... But either way, I would like to know where you got them from and what back spasing for the front and rears... Plz sir.
It's got MT ET streets on it now and like I said; it just wonders to much for me. A couple passes and there's no worries, then the next pass you would think I hit fluid on the track...
I just built the car, so I'm trying to recover from the build, that's why I can't afford all new rims and tires at the moment..
Thanks in advance and those are some nice times dude. I hope mine runs that well or better
Just put ARH headers, Heads, LS7R cam (658 lift 114+3 lsa) ported fast 102, NW 102 TB, meth kit, etc, etc.
Sorry for the 10 million questions (. I've had a beer or two) I just want to get the it right the first timeZ thanks again

Nice pass. Car looks great with the bolted R/Ts. I ordered that style from Bogart. When I opened the boxes, much to my surprise I saw bolted D-10s. Richie was originally suppose to make me bolted R/Ts but he apparently got a little confused with an order that robz put in. I did not have the heart to tell him at the time. It all worked out in the end. (Besides, I made robz sell me one of his sets to match that we were no longer using on his car.)

Might have something to do with the tuning after cam, I'd get with your tuner on that. Cam carries power out well past 7k and torque peak isn't till 5300, so I'd shift as close to 7300 limiter as possible to maximize the average power with your shift extension. Here's a calculator that will help you see the rpm drop...

Two when I bought my monster stage 3 you guys told me it didn't like to shift above 7k rpm without sticking to the floor.

So what's the specs on the rims? I know 17x12 and 17x4.5, but I didn't know you could fit a 17in rim on the front of a C6Z. Do you know the back spacing or does anyone have an idea, or contact who would know?
Thanks
Thanks

I went with whatever bogart advised on the17x10 rears, but they could stand a lil less bs
#32
Any reason you went with 10in wide over 12in? tire selection?
Sorry for the million questions, but I want to get it right the first time

I went with the 10 because the only bias ply 17 size is a 26 11.50

Yea I agree by the graph with that shift point,but there are a couple reason why I haven't . One I'd have to have the limiter at 77-7800 to have flare room when I shift at 7300, because I don't lift between shifts and I'm not sure how long the stock ring lands on the pistons would take that at that piston speed. I shifted my last car (2011 5.0 built na motor)@ 8100rpm so I love to twist one. Lol .
Two when I bought my monster stage 3 you guys told me it didn't like to shift above 7k rpm without sticking to the floor.
