Finally got the car all sorted out and took the car to a local import/domestic race for some more track tuning.

Car is working very well and I couldn't be happier.

I am still on a very conservative tune (E85 11.3 AFR/14* timing) considering this engine is on stock internals.

For those not familiar with build it is very simple.

LS3 with custom cam, valvesprings, ARP headstuds and rod bolts (thats it)
Custom return style fuel system for E85
Front mount turbo (cast wheel S480) setup fabricated by my borther (RLZ Engineering)
RPM powerglide and 9" IRS conversion


Looking over my data logs showed 11 psi on the first and fastest pass of the day.

The time slip below is the 1st pass off the trailer right after the track was prepped. I tried turning the launch boost up a couple times which resulted in tire spin. They never resprayed the track only drug it a little bit so I couldnt work on increasing the launch.
Best passes were both on 8psi launch and 11-12psi down track!

Here is one of the 5.7 passes we got on film 1.30 60' here!

Here is a cool video that my brother took with his phone (I know we are hi tech right LOL) so we could see what the rear suspension/tires were doing on launch.

That thing is moving for sure!!! Badass car

Congrats !!

Its only going to get quicker....enjoy the ride.

Awesome setup.

Congrats!

When I get some more time for testing I will for sure go over some mid range details we were discussing. Maybe I can drop that 330' another tenth or two!

BLOWNBLUEZ06

Holy crap that's moving out! Unbelievable!
Love the slomo launch video.

Congrats man! That thing is flying and it doesn't even have any boost in it yet. Put it on 15psi and shoot for 8.50s on stock bottom end.

The car is very efficient as it sits, I can't wait to see it turned up. Did you weigh it?

Congrats on the new PB's

Shoaf85

Thanks guys for the words. I went by scale to check weight but they had already shut it down. I will get my brothers corner scales soon to weigh it.

Before I removed a/c and added turbo setup it was 2950 w/out me. I'm guessing it picked up approx 100lbs.

That's awesome man!!! What app was used for the SloMo?

Shoaf85

Iphone 5 has that built in, Ive never used it my brother did it.

Holy chit that thing is moving! Isn't this only your second track outing?

Shoaf85

Correct sir. I'm still debating how much more if any I'm gonna turn it up lol. I know there is a little bit left in the launch and 330' but in the topend I don't wanna stress it with much more boost.

Gonna have to wait a little bit for it but I can't imagine what this car would do maxing this turbo out (roughly 400hp left in it)

Chris Stewart

Outstanding! Share details on the suspension setup? I see the pfadt rear bar. The slowmo looks great, no drama coming off the tbrake.

WOW love it, congrats, it is all working.

JoeyG

Awesome outcome with such little track time on the setup

winters97gt

Damn, that thing is 600 pounds lighter than my C6. Glad you never ran the 1/4 in your C6 M6 carso my record still holds. That's an 8 second car the way it sits. Awesome!

E85 and good tuning seems to be the secret sauce for getting these turbo stock blocks to hold up

amazing!

how much was the RPM PG setup? what else have you done to the suspension? those tires are flat out hooking!!

Shoaf85

My 07 C6 only weighed 3150 with the turbo kit installed and NOTHING removed at all. It was a base C6 though!

PG setup is around $9k depending on internals used. They only make the conversion for C6Z/ZR1 diffs or a 9" which requires a shortened torque tube as well. My PG/9" setup was just over 15K in parts from RPM , not including torque converter or shifter setup. But its what I felt the car needs to be reliable and consistent.

Suspension is pretty basic:
front sway bar removed
Pfadt Rear sway bar
Pfadt Gen1 Coilovers w/ eibach drag springs up front

The 15" wheel conversion and the ET street radial pros finish it off which IMO are the most important piece of the puzzle
