BES Stroked Nova · 07-28-2009, 04:16 PM

well I have been through 4 clutches and finally have something that works decent...

I really want to get a 28" tire on it, put 4.88's in it. and prolly still run the 11.00 index banging gears!

BUT if the 6 speed gives me to many troubles, I have a RPM Level 5 4l60e and a Circle D converter sitting in the shed.

As of this coming Saturday we are 60 days out! I can hardly contain my excitement! Still tweeking the car though, and luckily we have 2 1/4 mile tracks to test at this year instead of one for the whole month of September like last year. It sure is hard to run 10.50s.

I'm a little discouraged it may not get there. I will keep plugging away (a lot this weekend) and see what happens. At least I have some nice new wheels to look at now! I hope everyone is having great luck in getting their car where you need it and be sure you come to the shootout!

Same here. I had a 11.508 on Saturday.
I then had a 11.516. Almost there. Need to tighten it up a little more.

REDGAR · 08-12-2009, 10:02 AM

You are too funny! I rolled on the floor when I read this! And stop rubbing your perfect Index number in!

Status of my car: still running, but working the event means no time to race

I'll be there again, smiling at all of you that get to have a great weekend of fun.

REDGAR · 08-15-2009, 12:27 AM

Too bad you cannot find a way to race Derek

Rob got a 11.508 and Edgar ran 11.008. I only got a 10.009. Yep, the vettes were well represent at ZMAX. I ran under the index with a 9.981 in 3000+ DA and a track temp of 136, so I'm sure that lots of adjustments will need to be made at Memphis with colder air and track conditions. I'm really looking forward to it though.

98NYFINESTVETTE · 08-15-2009, 10:02 PM

I may have some changes to my Vette before this event. I may have a different engine but if I don't have it installed, The Vette will run the number regardless.

New setup will be a package that I can run almost any Index Class from the quickest to the slowest.

REDGAR · 08-15-2009, 10:04 PM

easy there buddy, 8.50 is quickest...don't think you want to run 8.50 and 11.50

That is impressive under those conditions.

I went to the track tonite for a little test and tune and on the third pass my trans lost second gear. It looks like I may be putting the six speed back in to make the shootout. I just sunk 900 bucks into a new converter and manual valve body, and I don't have the funds to get the trans built. So unless something changes in the very near future there will be one more gearbanger running index.
