Pretty damn impressive man.

Been scratching my head about what to do....bias ply slicks, or drag radials. I have a few beefier components in the driveline than you do but my diff(2012 Z06) is stock...and I have a built ZR1 tr6060.

Any videos?

EDIT: Saw your last post/video

16's or 15s? Whats exact tire sizes? I have a 16" CCW drag pack, currently has slicks but they're aged, so wasn't gonna use them this go round.

Thanks
Thanks. I never ran the M12 with the blower. I went with the C6Z stuff at the same time. I prefer the 2.66 trans over the M12 ratios.

We got some new video on Friday. I will try and get it posted up this week.

My wheels are 16x10 Bogarts with Hoosier 28-11.50-16 QTP. My trans and Diff are stock C6Z stuff. 100% you want bias ply tires. You can come out spinning the tires, and still 60' in the 1.4s. Not to mention they are easier on drivetrain parts.

Awesome news. Thank you for info. What is the front tire size? I have some old, trailer looking tires that came on the drag pack moons ago,...they look funky and are too tall.

Hows it feel on the big end?

I ask cause we have a a chevelle, and a camaro we run with ply tires on them, they feel like they fold over way up top. These are sub 600 hp cars so not making a ton of power but, feel pretty strange way up top. Actually, thinking now, I think we have/had bias ply in rear, radial in front, which probably caused a lot of that. Any of that feel with these tires?

Thanks again for info.

I'll 2nd this recommendation. For my car, any serious tire spin on a drag radial meant the run was over. With a bias ply, the car would still recover from the tire spin and put down a decent pass.

You're getting close to 69ls6's best pass. Just need to cut the 60 foot down a little more.

My front wheels ate 17x4.5 with 26-4.50-17 Bias Ply M&H front runners. It's perfectly stable up top. I don't feel any sway from the tires.

The bias ply work great for our cars with manual transmissions.

Im hoping to go a little quicker in the spring.

I didn't know anyone makes a setup but I do have a custom made one for my pedal. My clutch throw just doesn't need that long travel to engage/disengage, so I have a pedal stop on my pedal itself, requiring about half as long as a normal pedal stroke. So I basically just have to stab the pedal real quick...and go.

Our C5 pedals have a TAB on the side of them, where the pedal meets the clutch switch....my "stop" is attached directly to that TAB(drill hole-lock nut and bolt), ...which(my stop) comes in contact with the clutch switch, causing the pedal itself to stop the moment it makes contact with the pressed switch.

If that doesn't make sense...I can go outside and snap a pic.

Very impressive! Beautiful Car!

Don't think you would remember me-But I spoke with you in August at Atco (Index Race). I have a C4 Stock with solid 9" axle. I have a ProCharger (not installed yet) and may run it on e85. Are you using a Intercooler?

Thank you,
Steve

Thanks. I do remember speaking to you. Glad to hear your car is coming along. I would definitely run yours on E85 as well.

I am running an A2A intercooler.

Very nice times! I'm on the road to duplicating your setup.

What type of fuel system are you running?
