Fasterproms C7 Z06 goes 10.50@135.4 mph first time out
Hey guys I wanted to share our results from the drag strip a few weeks ago. This was our first trip to the track with the lightly modified car. Weather and the track schedule have been keeping us from achieving a better time, 3 of the last 4 weeks have been closed on test and tune night.
The car is a M7 with stg1 Aero and the BOOST IS STOCK- no pulley changes.
Here is a list of what we have modified for Power:
- Fasterproms custom tune by Jeremy Formato.
- Modified air box, and air duct with modified AFE CAI
- Fasterproms Thermal reduction plates That reduce blower heat soak
- Fasterproms Flex fuel kit
- Fasterproms 1.5Gal Expansion tank for greater supercharge coolant capacity
- ARH 1.875 headers
I was only able to make 3 passes as the track had oil down after oil down that night. My second pass the car trapped 136mph but bogged on the 60' on a true hot lap: as fast as i could get back in line and run again. The DA was +999 so it wasn't that ideal of track conditions nor weather. My 60' was a 1.75 and there is MUCH more in the car. Last year We went 10.25@140 w/ a 1.64 60' in our 14' SC stingray that had a different power band. If we could repeat that launch, the car mathematically would run a 10.28ET
It just takes seat time and learning to launch it. The car has a 10.2 -10.1 in it at this power level (675RWHP 665RWTq) at about 137-8 mph depending on 60' and weather. The bottom end TQ is Nasty and will spoil you. Once you have felt that kind of power you will never want to go back to anything less.
The car is truly an amazing vehicle and I have run a few other very fast cars (9.5@150mph 1000RWHP GT500-10.5 @131mph GTR) and they have been very impressed with it overall. While The car may have a few shortcomings in stock trim, we have overcome them with a few light modifications to address heat issues. The proof is here: We can run the car on the dyno back to back and not lose power, I can run the car on the street and track over and over and not have the car heat up to the point of losing power.
The expansion Tank and the Thermal reduction plates are the answer to the heat soaking. Our supercharger has dropped 30-50deg of temp with our prototype plates and the expansion tank with its extra capacity lessens the heat entering the blowers cooling system. More on theses products later.
We also ran the Ocala 1/2 mile event and our speed varied .7 mph despite the conditions. We went 159.2-159.9mph running in the top 1/3 of the competition with VERY light modifications.
I am truly thankful to have the vehicle as I do not deserve it. We are very excited about our new products and the things we will be doing with the car very soon. It is such a blessing that this car has supercharger and that just so happens to be right up our alley.
PS we are extremely busy here and we cannot post that often so please be patient with responses.

Good work. All these peoples bashing how GM fail with this supercharger design.. With some minor modifications from our aftermarket vendor, problem solved. Congrats.

Heat Soak is for Real???
