Speed Inc. SHOP CAR ...OH SO CLOSE TO THE 10'S - Page 3

LS1 SPEED · 10-11-2009, 11:17 AM

yep..PSJ that what I figure happened

stock clutch..still loving it

stock axles shafts ...well we feel 1 gave up yesterday. I was in the middle of 3rd on a record setting pass and felt a slight vibration midway through 3rd, then a little shift in the rear, grind and then car smacked the limiter. I eased on the brakes and then let off and tucked off the side side figuring we broke the diff or something. The car can move under very, very light power, but otherwise is grinds something in the rear and I have heard the same noise on C5 when the axle shaft or output shafts brakes.

still went 11.17@104 hitting the brakes and then coasting through the lights

this is the time slip from last Sunday Oct 4th

yesterday results and DragTimes shows around -450 DA @ 11 a.m for this run. I wish it would have stayed together since the air was in the -1200 by 6 p.m

60ft ---- 1.56
1/8 ----- 6.99
MPH ---- 101
1000 ---- 9.13

this would have for sure been a record setting run, but oh well...next time ( hopefully if our weather holds out )

hope to call up Hendrixx tomorrow and get word back on some Bogarts soon as well

How much rwhp are you making in this configuration?

LS1 SPEED · 10-11-2009, 04:55 PM

thanks rayhawk

car is around 630 with the 100 octane tune & 10psi

jleews6 · 10-11-2009, 06:01 PM

WOW it looks like 10.80s @128 next time out if the weather is the same. The wheels and tires should make a big difference also.

LS1 SPEED · 10-11-2009, 06:26 PM

I think it would have been an .8x @ 128-129 if it did not break and even better if we could have ran in the -1000 or better air later in the night.

The front wheel/tire combo should shave an easy 100+ lbs off the nose.

litemup02 · 10-11-2009, 08:35 PM

Hopefully the weather holds out! Feels like it should be late november

I think i need some of that boost

126mph trap would be real nice. Still taking it to the shootout?

LS1 SPEED · 10-11-2009, 09:05 PM

yeh..too cold already

I will be going, but the car will be staying home. The plan has been to go and help some friends, customers and meet some new people.

AW794 · 10-11-2009, 11:21 PM

awesome run!

Sorry for the offtopic question, but how good/bad does the TBSS tow the camaro?

earl lee · 10-12-2009, 03:30 AM

Ah, broken axle. Something the 03/04 cobra guys went though a lot in the first years of that model.

LS1 SPEED · 10-13-2009, 12:31 PM

TB SS towed it well and better then expected

Hendrixx axles have been ordered and we'll see them next week

MSD 2 step is going to be tested as well

The next outing planned is Oct 25th and hope to grab our #.

Pro Stock John · 10-13-2009, 05:09 PM

So Larry, what happened to the axle, broke or wiped out the splines or ??

LS1 SPEED · 10-13-2009, 05:23 PM

CV broke at passenger wheel

The car is not apart, but the boot is ripped and grease on inside of the wheel. The axles should come in Friday, so Monday we should be good.

-Hendrix axles
-Raptor shift light
-MSD Lunch controller

The launch controller and shift light should give us a nice consistent setup next time out and the axle will keep us going.

NHRAFORMULA00 · 10-13-2009, 06:54 PM

Good luck on the 25th Larry,the wife and i will be on vacation or i would come out and watch. That car is really making some serious HP.

LS1 SPEED · 10-13-2009, 09:12 PM

turboed2000 · 10-29-2009, 08:37 PM

Are those factory C6 Z06 wheels in the rear? Did you have to space them to fit?

LS1 SPEED · 10-29-2009, 10:40 PM

They are 18" replicas and no spacers were required.

robsquikz28 · 10-29-2009, 11:57 PM

That car is bling bling Larry and what other mods do you plan on doing to break the 10 sec barrier?
