Cars packing this sort of power will be at this next event coming up in a few months. Not saying they can't be beat but you better have your ish lined out and packing some heat before you even think about it

Yeah...let me look.Arun can I put spacers underneath the swaybar clamp so that the bushings are not being squeezed so hard? Will that help transfer? As I see it it will allow bar to rotated somewhat.

Did some blast in "Mexico North" and it feels real stable.
If you have coil overs in the front-your just gonna have to find the longest spring with the lowest rate for some weigh transfer.
Then again did you see the kind of weight transfer that Fartpipe was getting on his stock ZR1.
Maybe that's the setup to copy-GM already did all the home work.
I would look into the slickest tire-did you see what kind tires/rims some of those hi-power Supras were running. LG makes those nice spindles.
BTW-did I ever tell your messed? 1500 rwhp???? You guys got *****.

If your just doin roll racing I would just yank the bar. I havent run the bar on my car for years now and with the front shocks setup on firm you can hardly tell it's not there.

I haven't officially made 1500 so gotta finish up on the slight mods that are necessary to make new tc76 fit. I called pfhat for springs and told me that no springs available ...I need to call again and double check. So removing f sway bar makes a noticeable difference on its own?
Thanks Arun I appreciate all ur knowledge!

OMG that video is fun to watch! I don't know if it is because I am familiar with most, if not all, of the 'vettes in the video. Though I don't personally know any of you guys, I'm familiar with you from the pages of this forum. I've watched some of the struggles and some of the successes. It's pretty exciting to see you guys go out there, compete and enjoy some success. I've watched this video maybe twenty times. I can't wait for part II.

I think the way dyno's spit out numbers needs to be recalibrated.
We have C6 Z06's which claimed 1070+ rwhp, but when retrofited with a full drag 2 speed tranny and weight reduction mods couldn't even break 160 mph?
Then we have 1200 rwhp TTix cars that only trap 159-on one pass never to back it up.

Hey there sir smack a lot...
Since you are throwing the car I was driving in there as false dyno numbers, did you take into account that I let off to an 8.5? Taking the title for the fastest supercharged C6 while I was at it?
I think if I had several years like you have had to dial in the car, instead of a few passes, plus the car weighed more then stock, or even just stayed in it for the whole pass I would have surpassed 160 MPH. Talk is cheap though, and it didn't do it yet, so I'll go with it.
