I ran my Z06 on saturday, 9 runs, 1st time to track with this car. Conditions were light wind and Total air density of 92%.
Only mod on the car is a CAU powercone filter and a ripper. Car has 2300 miles, stock tires at 26 psi,shifts approx 6300. Best run had best mph and time on same run. I like when that happens!

60'-2.009
1/8 et-8.335
1/8 mph-92.09

1/4 et-12.586
1/4 mph-116.38

No powershifting yet, ripper still super stiff. Overall i was pleased. 60' times will help alot when traction will be had. Hello drag radials!

Excellent runs considering you weren't powershifting and by the looks of the 60' times, you had major traction problems.

Great runs, DaveP. Strong trap speed. Have you dynoed the car??

Please describe your launch technique.

Thanks in advance.

I had tire pressures around 26psi, and a lite dry burnout in first to clean things off, and a quick dry hop to the line. Launched about 2000 rpms, 1/2 throttle for about 1 sec then wot, still spun quite a bit but better than bogging I think. Will be working on the launch, the track is such a variable.

Congrats on a reasonably good time and nice speed! /phpBB/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif Drag radials will definitely help.

 

[got Z06?]

Were 12.5's consistant with your 9 runs?

Wow that's a nice trap! 116... my car is down about 4mph from there.

Is a 2.00 60' really considered having "traction issues"? I always thought anything sub 2.2 was considered decent.
