Default New PB on my quest for 9's NA...

Got a new personal best last night in my NA 6-speed C6Z...
10.22 at 137mph with a 1.53 sixtyfoot... The DA was 1500's all night... Got a bunch of 10.2X's passes last night... Also did a 10.27 at 137mph with a 1.67 sixtyfoot... Would of been a 10.1X's pass with a better sixtyfoot... I currently have 15's on order with MT 26" tall slicks too... I already have LG Drag Spindles and base C6 brakes on the car... Also the clearancing on the A-arms and calipers have been done... I just need some more seat time and I should be able to get her in the 9's at full weight...

Here's my mods: H/C/I, 12:1, 2" ARH LTs with 3" offroad xpipe, 3" B&B fusion Catback, Diamond pistons, Vararam CAI, stock ported TB and methanol injection to prevent knock retard... Stock t-56 with RXT clutch and as for mods to the IRS I only have OEM C5 axels...

Great looking and well setup car you've got right there. I'm looking forward to seeing your 9 sec. timeslips!

BTW, that ranger in the right lane really moves out!

Thanks guys... Yeah after having an exhaust valve drop which destroyed the motor... Only after having it for 1,500 miles... Had a whole new motor built for it with all the goodies but it took over a year to get it done...

Here's my exhaust valve drop thread... Back when the White Knights used to battle the guys who said their was a problem with the LS7 motors... Some of you remember those days lol...

Nice run! If only that ranger could keep up lol. With your power levels you should be in the 9's in no time.

Are the drag spindles and C6 brakes required for the 17" rear?
