yup wed night should be fun, i am actually going to tune the car this time!! i still havent had time to tune it since i put the motor in there months and months ago, i just set it up rich and safe and have had it there since..


i am thinking somewhere around 22 psi and maybe 150 shot. we will see how everything looks.

i want 9.5 at 145, thats my short term goal, 9.99 should be easy to get from what i think...

sounds awesome. Good luck with the 9's.

you suck! J/K only wish I could make that statement.

Wednesday......I'll be there.
 

I'll be in town by then and I'll be there to lend a hand. It'll be awesome to see it get down the track sub 10 seconds!

Glad you'll be back in town. See you on Wed.

Corvettes have always been IRS, since the beginning. That, my friend, is a solid axle.

that is going to take just a bit of welding to make work... hehehe



i was correct on my guess on what rearend it was, just look at the rims...


i can see a detroit locker coming soon :icon38: :icon38:

WOOOOW congratsss man well done we r all feeling very proud :-) Keep it up

8.8 is mudstang i have 1 on my ae86 :)

Ding ding ding...Correct..Cheap and easy to find parts for, and it will hook like a muther..:D Gonna be a bit of fabrication to make fit, but we dont plan on running the Stock IDR. Were looking for 1.25 60fts' like the domestics get..The only problem is, it limits us to the events we can run, either bracket,quick 16, or PRO Modified (all those guys are running sub 8 seconds and have big budgets.). Most likely we will set her up for quick 16 and consistantcy. Our short term goal this season on our budget is 9.50's. Our long term goal is 7.99's:D

9.50s will be easier to reach than you think IMO...

aim high!!!!

I didnt know that vettes have always had a IRS. Thats pretty interesting. I guess my next guess wouldve been a mustang. Thats awesome stuff.

Hey Jeremy, I got my diff/suspension repaired from my last trip to OSW, so I should be out on Wednesday as well!!
See you guys there,
Mike

^^ Sweet another 9 second Z, see you there Z Gad!

i might just go all out and see what these turbos will do wednesday night, who cares??!!!


i want some mid 9s, thats my goal for wed...

great mike!! cant wait to see what a little more boost will do for you as well. i keep trying to catch you, we will see soon, i have to get bigger injectors in and i am getting some WAY bigger turbos here soon. i want to break as far as i can in the 9s with the stock greddy kit first though


see ya wed!

You guys do have someone good recording this all for us, right? I would join you because I have Wednesdays off, but its a 24 hour drive, or a 4 hour flight. So thats probably not going to happen!

I dont care, DO IT !!!!


Just becareful with the axels :) They are still stock right. I cant remember if you upgraded them yet or not?

Later
Todd

yes sir, stock axles, i have a new sponsor as soon as i break them but they have held up sooooo good so far.... must be the driver ;) ;)



i hope someone good comes out to record it, i probably have my friend eric coming to record it but i am not sure as of yet...

I think your right :) Driver has alot to do with it. Im getting there though :D Sometimes you have to learn the hard way.


Looking forward to more videos, congrats again on your times so far. You must be doing something right, plus all the smoke blown up your arss helps too :)

Later
Todd

Was a good night for me anyway...
Ran a new personal best 9.208 @ 144.99 w/ 1.376 60'
Last pass would have ben quicker, but I boogered up the 60' (1.495) but the car went 9.283 @ 145.89

I witnessed that one.....

So did Jeremy run his car or....

i was there also his car was sick

hey guys, i had too much air in the tires the first run for 22 psi and 125 shot.


i spun really bad off the line, hit second and got pretty side ways, i just let off. i ran a very impressive 18.6 @44 mph!!!! i actually lost 9 in the last 1/6th, very proud...


then, i pulled up for my last and final run, and i was leaking oil, i think the cold start and the burnout combined did something to the greddy oil return line on the passenger side. DAMNIT!!!!!!!!!

i was soooo ready

i am going back friday and then our track is closed until jan 10th, i will get it.


on the first run, the car hit 20 psi in first gear, it was pretty sick for spinning soooo much, that was on a 125 shot as well... hehehe

i will keep it updated on friday, i have a lot to do and fix my car by then, im sure i will find time.


very cool meeting everyone there last night that i havent met before.

hey man, make sure you introduce yourself to me when you are out there, there were LOTS of VQs there last night, very good showing..


:) thanks on the props, i didnt have time to clean it up but friday it will be clean and ready to run some 9s...

The other guy was running into you on your first run....... Did you see that ??
Your car took off pretty sick man ......damn fast

LOL :icon18: :icon18:

:( Whats so funny.. I wanna laugh too...:confused: :(

It's funny how you were monitoring our weather. You, my friend, are HARDCORE. :)

LOL.. Yea I guess Jeremy has gotten me to this point.. Seeing what he is doing with the Z and me going to the strip last weekend put me over the edge.. I want to see him get 9.5 worse than him :D

yeah jeremy is so hardcore he took off his front bumper side markers to save on weight. I still havent asked him why his stock antenna is still on there though. lol its not necessary :)

yea i will probally be going back on friday to try to get the 60 down to a 1.9 and maybe a 13.6/13.7

How did you do last night?

yeah man, i will be out there tomorrow night too, see ya there..


make sure you say whats up!!



i hope i get a clean run this time damnit, oil leaks are nooooo fun!!

Good luck tonight! Let us know how you do. No videos of Wednesday performance, hopefully tonight will have someone behind a camera just in case!

i have video of me taking off, getting sideways, spinning, straightening it out, hitting second and getting sideways again, but what fun is that!!??


then i am sure there is the great video of me doing a cool burnout and then pulling up to the line and leaking oil on the track... :D :D :D

LOL!!
I may come out to spectate tonight. I pulled my 1000cc injectors this morning to send them out. I am trading even up for a set of 1600cc's. I was just over 100% duty cycle on the 1000cc's when I was shifting at 8000.:eek:
I may move up to something bigger than my PT76GTS turbo for the new year, so I should think ahead for the supporting mods.... :rolleyes:

Good Luck homie!!! Knock em dead!!

ok, going out to see what the damage is right now, should have it ready by track time!!



see ya later mike if you make it...


thanks ken!!

wow, you are a god!!:eek:

thats GAD to you ...

LOL!! Just trying to keep up with the Jones'

BTW - nice meeting you ZLadie
