well I am looking to hit the drag strip what is the record for a 6l80 in a vette. Let me know I need a goal.....

HOXXOH

Stock? Bolton? Internal? Power adders? Big displacement?

The answers are all there on page 1 of the performance list in the stickies in this forum.

"The Subfloor" has run 9.95 @ 140 in his LS7 powered A6.

RoadRebel

Buncha 9.60-9.70s floating around

I do not care about how the car is built just what the fastest is, mid 9's should not be a problem at all, and with traction low low 9's maybe even lower but we will see. It looks like the performance list on the forum is just CF I was looking for the overall record which may not be on the forums.

Finding the absolute world record best ET is almost as big a quest as building a car to beat it.

I'd start by searching out the shops who build the cars and/or the transmissions. They'll be happy to tell you about the quickest one they've built.

jthurik

its not that hard since there are only a few company's building the 6l80s and finding out what I wanted to know, the record will be what my car runs.

FloydSummerOf68

What has your car currently run to think that mid 9s will be easy?

dennis50nj

lets see if you can run 11s firstif you beat what ever the record is its really no big deal, its all in how you do it, a turbo no big deal, supercharger no big deal, stroker and nitrous no big deal s stock block heads cam nitrous no big deal, heads and cam now that's nice, cam only nicer bolt/ons only fantastic

Car just competed in the Texas Invitational did very well. My estimates are from a vbox and other cars and there 1/4 mile times. If I cant lazy roll into 9's with a 850hp stalled auto and we have not even installed the NOS yet so I am fairly confident where the car will run.

Le Mans Z06

And you're confident your A6 can hold that power?

That's true, it might not be. But most (all?) of the various popular LSx racing related forums are somewhat connected (some are even owned by the same parent companies) in many ways, as in members of each often post on numerous other boards as well.

I do hear that once in a while though...someone questions how a list on this board could possibly be all encompassing or all inclusive as not everyone who races is also on the internet, or at least they might not all post their results on it.
But most are and most do.
And those that aren't on these boards DO know someone who is, or someone they don't know but was at the track that day and saw the passes, or a friend/photographer of someone who knows or saw the passes made and that ET/MPH somehow ALWAYS tends to find it's way back to the Corvette Forum or LS1 Tech. Is it possible that one squeaked by unnoticed? Of course. But with all of the smart phones, WiFi and digicams out there, even the most guarded/protected info travels VERY fast nowadays.
I was at a track rental once and saw a forum member run a new best at roughly 4pm...by the time I got home at 6:30pm there were already two new threads started on it with over 25+ replies/posts between them!

So in short, yes, if it's on the Forum's C5 or C6 lists or mentioned somewhere in these internet pages, it very likely is the 'best so far' for that particular combo (or transmission).

Yep been holding the power, we have gone thru alot of R&D to get to where we are and I have to give props to Dallas Performance and Rossler to getting the car where it is. I do have to put the disclaimer out that I did Loose to Flash by a inch at TI so I am the second fastest 6L80.

A person had better already run some low 10s or even high 9s before they start spouting off on how easy or simple it will be to go mid 9s LOL.
If it was that easy, many others would be doing it.





And that is KEY right there. I don't care if a car has 1200rwhp, if the trans doesn't hold (and 6L80s are notorious for not liking anything more than 500-600rwhp, especially with a power adder) or doesn't shift when it's commanded to do so, the car might run 14s (or possibly no further than the 1/8th mile cone) too.
I often find it best to actually run the number FIRST, and then talk about how easy it is/was.

jthurik

my car shifts very very fast, I enjoy events like the Texas Invitational more then drag racing. I will go get the numbers and post them was looking for the bar. I want to try on the 18MT 345/30/18 with coilovers before changing the spindle and going to a 15" tire.

LS1LT1

Those 345s are good, but ultimately once you start spraying it you're probably going to find that the 15s are almost necessary.
Sounds like you might just be on a path to having the quickest/fastest A6/6L80 equipped Corvette (or any A6 transmissioned car for that matter) on the planet.

Goal #1 beat Flash Goal #2 good 1/4 mile times..

Silver Bullet C6

The fastest 6L80 trans Vette I know of is this one at 9.55 and 144 mph.
Also stock long block:


Mine was fastest before that for 6L80 trans and stock long block (small cam) :


Good luck with quest. Your car is certainly set up for some excellent times/ mph in the 1/4 mile.

camirocz

I f you go in the 6s you should be safe to brag all over town that you are the record holder.And then you ll feel fulfilled.Start by hitting 12s and work your way down.

txvettefan

May I suggest an A&A Supercharger 4.6" pulley (10#), Methanol Injection, Long Tube Exhuast, Stall or Clutch, Adjustable Shocks, and DR's.
