Wouldn't it be cool to have an LT5 win that event!?

As an FYI guys, I see Wayne went 154 with his Turbo at the Sept. WGF in Georgia

The motor is all together i'm waiting for A harmonic balancer to come in.by next week it will be in the car running.hopefuly without issues.
I'll post A pic of it tomorrow.

Thx Joe. I would really like to try DRs on the car and see what happens. Maybe have a good driver like Pete or BobG give it a run to see what it really can do.

thanks for the info Kevin! congrats on building such a potent combo

interesting to see it has an auto. the 4L65E is a great tranny to build up.

so many nice stroker combos

we need a "modified registry" of all the ZR-1s with heavy mods and their times

the old LSV will do 11.42 @ 129 the MPH indicates its putting down the power but the ET shows a distinct lack of traction

hope to get it out in the nice fall weather, but might not make it.

needs new rear bearings and a bushing or two.

thinking hard about the banski stuff as it looks like it would free up the travel and improve ride and handling

I briefly drove Bob G.s car in the pits at BG and was very impressed at how "docile yet fierce" that car drove with the dual disk clutch

I need one! what does the RAM 9" setup run? I hope it will tame down the tranny gear ratte too. my car sounds more like a diesel truck than a ZR-1 and it gets on my nerves sometimes.

I also think a bit heavier flywheel and clutch package would help the launch

the fidanza is great for road racing but is horrible for drag racing and I don't care much for it. one for sale soon!

Yes - the ZR1s should win the N/A class at those 1/2 mile events. I think Al or Bob would've gotten it done if their car/cars stayed healthy/made the event. I think the only reason I couldn't beat the C6 was the automatic falls flat on its face when shifting into OD right after the 1/4 mark. Not a problem for me in the 1/4, but the 1/2 is a different story. I hit the finish line in the 1/2 at around 5,600 rpm I think I recall - way below power peak. Bob & Al wouldn't have that problem.

Kevin,

I think both Al and BobG want to show those ricer whipper snappers taillights.

Strength and Honor!

Not shown Dean Nelson. Other than the newbie Karl, everyone that had a ZR there ran it.

Thanks Pete. It's good to have faces to attach to such a class act as FBI.
