Turbotrio

I will add a little to the "Back Story" Mark won the award for the "Fastest Corvette" based off times ran by any Corvette from Friday morning to Saturday night at the Shoot-out. Not just Orange Corvettes. Not just C6 Corvettes. Not just Z06 Corvettes. Not just Drag-radial Corvettes. ANY CORVETTE. After we were told we won Sunday morning we walked around all day looking at and watching all the 6-second "Corvettes" and my joke was how pissed each must be that they got screwed out of the "Fastest Corvette" award lol. Obviously they could have cared less. My joke was in reference to guys like Joe or JP throwing around pics of 6-second "Corvettes" as proof that Mark's isn't the fastest. Seems that the guys that run GM High Performance / LSx disagree with them.... Jeff

IMO we are a cam away from high 7's as it sits now. Some weight savings wouldn't hurt (We were 250+ lbs heavy for the DR Class) and then it will come down to whether or not we decide to upgrade the turbo and really run some boost Jeff

Few pics from the weekend:

Converter (I think) on Friday and then some sort of an ignition problem on Sunday. Jeff

Here are a few pics I have seen posted around: http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4089/4987052384_014fe6bbef_z.jpg http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4085/4987052250_01bc5344f5_b.jpg http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4126/4986451285_c3489800cd_b.jpg http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4087/4986450843_528c531312_b.jpg http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4084/4986450099_b935625d99_b.jpg Video:

Nice pics -- especially the Hawk

LS9 and just a little bit of spray

Speaking of which, did anybody get this on video?

That was last year. Mike L. won again with a 9.30 I believe and Jaimie won (Different class) with a 7.99 Jeff

8.7 @ 168 so a new "Best" in the mph department. Congrats Mike L. and Mike C. for the win Jeff

We could almost race it 4 times

Just for reference, this is the "List": http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-z06-discussion/1794944-the-c6-z06-fast-list.html EDIT: I would include the C6 list on here but it is 10x more difficult to reference on CF If it's not on there then I don't care Jeff

Just like this is the fastest "Scion Tc" right: http://www.titanmotorsports.com/camosciontc.html Pretty sure this is the fastest "Celica": http://www.titanmotorsports.com/timoblflce.html I mean, we can't even keep up with the pesky FWD 4-cyl "Cobalt's" that Jegs builds: http://www.teamjegs.com/thecars/

PB / Fastest IRS C6 / Fastest Stock Chassis C6/Z06 / Fastest LS C6 / Fastest C6 that is actually a C6 Take your pick... Same record we held for over a year and now have back Jeff

Just a quickie vid to get it posted up but we will have a full-length version done soon with a little more editing and such: This is the Record pass and then the "Follow-up" pass hours later since the trap speed didn't show up on the first one. Jeff

Since it was a pull with hot water I didn't even bother to save if off the dyno computer lol. With no more boost but ICED it will pick up another 50+ (Based off the gains at 8psi Iced) so Ill post that one up when we do it. It's cool its over 1300rwhp and all but even mid 1300's @ 20psi is much lower boost/power than we plan on running so we will save the "Dyno Queen" number for later Jeff

110%

I wish I could post up better news. It is just really hard to talk about right now so I am not going to get into specifics. He is a fighter and even though Chemo and treatments are not going to be any fun he is going to beat it. Jeff

We have had a run on them in the past week for whatever reason We do Jeff

Just to use the same Camaro SS graph as before here is how they compare on the same fuel: http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1116/4720538451_45607d0db6_b.jpg Cliffs: Mustang picked up 6rwhp on better gas and now makes the exact same power as the Camaro

In fairness to the Mustang I have to run all this 87 out of the tank to do a couple 93-octane pulls. It isn't going to catch-up in the Trq dept but it should clear the gap in HP for sure Jeff

http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4003/4709359350_da33b5fc78_b.jpg Camaro had 93-octane and Mustang has 87-octane so not quite an apples-to-apples comparo but you get the idea... Jeff
