i personally just replaced the driver side with 1 GT350 axle (that’s the weak link)
power is not what breaks them, wheel hop is. So if the track is glued, and the tire is stuck and for some geometric reason you break traction and the rear lift’s weight transfer, the wheel is still spinning and...
MPH tells the story, you went nowhere off the line and poured it in up top.
Don’t race anymore on the stock continentals, very VERY easy to wreck your car, the 1/2 or 2/3 shift can easily kick the ass end out and you won’t recover before the wall.
put a drag radial on it, since it reads you’re...
All this talk about engines shaking is bringing me back to running solid motor mounts back in the day.
just sitting idle at lights the chassis would rock.
Felt SOOO good having the engine tied into the body.
I’ve watched them quite a few times last summer, I have 2 friends that own C8Z’s, they both prefer their 500s for anything more than slow city driving.
This year with the ZR1s/xs no one cares.
Now they’re slow AND old, at least last year they were kinda new and sounded good
Maybe climate dependent, I’m in Michigan, so i only go to the track if it’s gonna be negative D/A up to maybe 1K D/A.
Air is everything, temp is never a problem, I can make a pass, park, watch some races, and then when I see the lane is slow I’ll line up and make a pass again.
I usually only...
Bro a Z06 will get its ass waxxed by the SC, just stop.
They look and sound cool and that’s where it ends.
Unless a Z06X comes out with the AWD, maybe that could do something idk.
Just a handful of passes, I replaced the stock driver side axle with a gt350 one. (That’s the weak link)
maybe make some trips out to the track this spring in a few weeks, my car is really just a 9 second street car, which was the goal, just fun quick cruiser.
No need to break stuff or go crazy...
Think outside the box, maybe like a flowmaster 50 series delta flow or something instead of the H pipe.
any on the shelf solution is gonna be raspy.
on mustang6g a few people ran 2-1/2” flowmaster super 44s for deeper rumble.
Just gotta do it custom, then leave your stock active to control...
Get your own prep to help!, whiskey resin or stripper glitter are 2 good ones.
Also I’ve never gone below 14-15psi… it just becomes too much to manage up top, you really want as much psi as possible to keep it stable.
on my foxbody I had adjustable shocks/struts so if prep was poor you could...
I don’t have the 170* stat or the whipple airbox, no input on those.
Yeah 28/11/17 bias ply et street Rs. I usually can cut a low 1.5/ high 1.4 60ft just by staging and flashing the stock converter off idle.
those passes were only E30 iirc.
I’ve only used race gas once so far and didn’t make a full pass, but was like 3 tenths quicker in the 1/8, also smaller pulley.
just a simple setup, great local track prep!
I always run as much as I can, while still getting my desired launch characteristics.
too much will depend on your cars setup and the track prep, we sometimes get radial prep days where I can easily run 22psi, however no prep I may end up down around 15 as well. It’s just gonna be different...
@B229218
I did just the cradle bushings and locating dowels, I’m on steeda progressive springs 👍
have fun, I run E30, but yeah 5 gallons of like MS109 or Sunoco 260GT will give you all the octane you need to race
I went GT350 axles for my 10R80 whipple car, been perfect, 1.4 60ft launches a few times, I just replaced the driver side and left the original and other 350 axle as spares.
only the driver side is different, it has 6lbs of more steel and does not have the taper where OEM tend to break.
For the...
Not any sticky tires really in that size, you could go R888R from Toyo, they’ll help but not as good as a true drag radial compound
I have nitto 555R2 on my stock 19x8.5s but I’m looking to go an inch wider, but I did run them all last year
275/40/19, they hold really well, but it still gets...
