Default Okay there is a new fast time out there.

As much as this is going to kill everyone I will wait for Scott (M3Corvette) to chime in on this, I do not want to take the thrill from him.
It backed the numbers up about 10 times. We ran many runs, it was hot, almost 80 the DA was 1500+ and I believe the humidity was almost 50% today. I must say the only dissappointment was that after about 6 runs with no cool down, another ZO6 diff went to be with all the other blown up ones. Luckily the car made it back into the trailer but not without some coaxing.

I know, I know.





I'll let Scott tell it. Had a good time out there today. Scott is still driving home and he'll post up when he gets in. Good Job Scott.

I wish it was the axles. Actually the axles held up great, I don't think you can abuse them any harder then we did today.

Sorry guys, I just got home(track 100 miles away). I will try to keep it short. I have been up for 21 hours straight at this point so forgive my screw ups. Funny (or crazy) story first. I bought a new 2006 F-250 Diesel today to be delivered to the track from about a 4 hour drive from my home. It did not show by the time we finished racing so we set up delivery to a local dealer in the area we were racing. Long story short, the 2006 was delivered to the local dealer and I held the keys for about 20 mins, and traded it in on a 2007 F-250 diesel.(don't ask)

Anywho, my mods are Kooks headers, Corsa exhaust, electric water pump, custom air intake by www.zip-corvette.com (thanks Justin), Halltech F1 filter and tuning by www.carolinaautomasters.com (thanks Jeff) and DR's.Last dyno was 509 RWHP and highest was 520 a few months ago. Thanks to Steve and Julie for the track rental and all the guys at www.tidewaterracing.com for helping with tips and support for my novice behind! Thanks Rich (Doingok) for taking vids.

Got in between 15 and 20 runs today. Some were brackets (11.0 dial and I lost with 11.04..... Thanks Shane ) A few were taking my 6yr old son down the track 20.86 @ 68.18 and alot faster one. My wife was pissed . 9 runs were solid 10's.Not the fastest out there, but lots of runs to back each other up. I am missing a few slips, but the ones I have are
10.91 @ 127.73
10.88 @ 128.39
10.85 @ 128.64
10.84 @ 125.91
10.82 @ 126.16
10.82 @ 127.05
10.82 @ 127.28
10.82 @ 128.42

The temp was 78* to 80* during all runs with 48%hu DA 1590+.
I have an after market clutch and it still gave trouble. It's NOT the clutch in my mind that's the problem it's the plumbing(hydraulics). My next mod! With some cold air, I think the car could run 10.5's easy as is. My launch RPM was 3800 for most and then 4000 to 4500 for all the 10.82's.
Splits for best run was
60ft..........................1.6109
330ft.........................4.5401
1/8th ET.....................6.9770
1/8 MPH......................101.17
1/4 ET........................10.8219
1/4 ET........................126.16

I think this also shows what a great job Ranger(John) did on his 10 sec stock run. Way to go Ranger! People, I'm dead and I'm out! Tomorrow!!! Scott

Great runs Scott!

Heck of a series too.

That's a lot of tough love for any clutch to take. Might want to look into the hydraulics Cartek uses on their Level-7 clutch. Not sure if its thread pattern is an issue with the slave you're using.

Did you get a roll-bar installed or are you running bareback like the rest of us?

Geez, Louise!!!!

Thanks for posting, M3!

Ranger - you have GOT to get back to the track, Hombre! (even if you have to cross state lines)

Thanks to both for raising the bar.

Myhardtop - when you gonna drop the spray, and get into the fray?

Robert, TM is gone with tuning(at least it feels like it) and the tire size was 325/19's by M&H for the rear and 26x6 fronts by Mickey Thompson.

[QUOTE=DoingOK]It was a great time!



The TA in the pic behind me (keep in mind I was running 10.8's) would pass me at about the 1/8 mile mark like I was standing still! Nice ride there Kyle.

What were your 60's for the rest of the 10.82's?
I just pulled some of my slips. All my runs in the 11's (11.01/11.05/11.07) had 1.70 to 1.73 60's. All the 10 sec runs were 1.6's (1.6579/1.6453/1.6734/1.6689/1.6806) with the 10.82's having 1.6109/1.6878/ 1.6279 and one slip missing. Just shows how the 60ft is consistent 1.6's for 10's and 1.7's for 11's. For me anyhow!

Not sure exactly for me anyhow. Zip thinks for sure it's the diff, but they are going to take it apart next week while I'm travelling and have a looksee. I'm sure Justin from Zip will post when he takes it apart.

Ranger, no roll yet. Kicked out is a way of life for me (women and tracks) . The rentals are my only hope for now. Scott
