How do you like that M5 clutch? You using a Tick adjustable clutch master with it or stock hydraulics? how does it behave on the street?

I'd recommend the M3 clutch with the softer pressure plate for a more street friendly setup. The M5 has a lot more pedal effort than the M3, but both use the awesome metallic clutch disc.

I always use brand new stock hydraulics on my builds but start with AMSoil 600 racing brake fluid and make sure they keep it clean and fresh on a regular basis.

Who said you could only drive an auto Joshua?! I believe the 1.50 is a stock C6 rearend 60' record to my knowledge, congrats!! Glad to see that Monster gettin'er done at the track!!!

10.59 @ 126 is getting it done...I was expecting a much higher trap speed for that 1/4 mile time. Excellent job.

Thx Chris.

To clarify I went back thru the timeslips and didn't find a 1.50 60ft so I guess I dreamed that one up. My best was the 1.54 on the money run.

My bad, ceramic friction is right.

I was expecting a much higher trap speed for that 1/4 mile time.
Typically when you get a great 60ft you will see a drop in mph, but my guess is the 30mph headwind from that night was the cause of the lower than expected mph. The DA from the online calculator was 2500ft at 9pm that night.

Weather had to be killing ~6mph, figure half that from wind alone...still a 1.54 is the fastest that I know of, I did a 1.56 before the driverside output shaft let go. That was with 4.10 gears, but less hp. That last launch in the video makes me cringe

I was definitely impressed by "Yellow Jacket" that night. Except for the cam, a stock LS2 long block
I think a 3.6" or 3.4" pulley, cooler weather, and less headwind would see nice gains overall.

We think it's about 650rwhp. We dynoed it at 615rwhp on a softer tune, but since then added some timing and brought a/f back to mid 11's.

Yep, vid must be typo cause it's a big ol 3.8". I just checked it today and did a few runs and data logged it. Peaks at 9#s at 6700rpm. This vette has been a freak from the day he brought it to me stock. It's really strong and pulls like a LS3 car as far as I'm concerned.
