The site of some elitest snob getting his a## handed to him by a stock block ZR-1 driven by a guy with a smoke in one hand and a Gyro in another...well about $870K.

Pete with your level headed economic sense maybe GM should call you as a financial advisor.

Your E.T. is awesome Pete, my congrats. Is spindle failure common for our cars when drag raced? How exactly do they break? Who makes an aftermarket spindle?

Lee,if i worked for GM they'd still be #1.
Let me give you one little example where GM screwed up heated seats are for Cadillacs, 2 ton Camaro WTF.

I would make a bad @ss sports car and i mean a real sports car stripo roll down windows,no carpeting, no center console,no A/C basicly no sissy stuff real mans car like the old Cobra, it would weigh 2500-2600lbs put the LS7 in it charge $30,000-$40,000, heck a freaking Enzo has roll down windows and no carpeting for $1million
My cars would sell like freaken hot cakes.

pete i started 2 threads on the forum looking for someone who may have videod you on the 23rd 1 in the c-5 gen sec and one in the c-4 gen sec. hope this helps . have a great thanxgiving

[Locobob]

Outstanding performance Pete! Are you pushing the rev limit to finish in third or are you shifting just before the finish line? I take it you're happy with the new cam profiles

[A1990]

Pete, great runs. Your launch is the best I've seen. Burnouts are awesome too. Love the sound of your cams.

[Pete]

Thanks Dennis.
If i wanna get better 60ft & ET i will have to go with bigger gears.
Winter project


Rob,i'm pushing 3rd gear all the way to the end too close to the end to upshift.
I have my rev limit set to 7700,shift light 7200.
Shift light is glaring ON just before the traps.
My RPM gage is incorrect but i figure i'm going thru at 7400-7500.

Maybe some light wieght front runners for 130+MPH

My math shows 129mph at 7500rpms with 3.45's and 25.7in tires - I'd say thats just about perfect for the quarter mile assuming your powerband looks a lot like mine. If you're gonna try gears I'd go with at least 4.10's otherwise you'll end the quarter part way through 4th and the extra gearing may not compensate for the time it takes for the extra shift. Your results are making me seriously think about doing a cam swap - stop it already

Pete,
Can you tell us some more about the new cams you're now running?
