Test and Tune this weekend, in Fontana. I'll be fine tuning my C5 Z06 on the track and getting some seat time for the first time. Should be pretty fun. I'll post up the results.

How'd it go? I wanted to go but, had other obligations to take care of.

Super windy and warm conditions. 1200 ft, 75 degrees.

12.6 @ 114 on 10 year round old street tires. First time out. 2.14 60' times. Need more seat time. I'll be up there next time to do some more tuning.

DSGCOBRA24

That's not bad. What are your mods? Last time I went, my best time was 13.5@111mph with a stock 03' z06 and on the stock 2003 Goodyear tires.

That's pretty good especially with that 60' time. Plus I bet the DA was not favorable as Fontana as it rarely is there.

SVT_Z06

Cool. My first run I ran a 13.4 @ 111. I tweaked my tune and it ran the faster time. I have a vararam, 36 lb injectors, LS7 Manifolds and exhaust, and tuned by me.

SVT_Z06

Thanks, man. I don't like to make excuses, but we had a crazy *** headwind all day. I was hoping for 120 traps, boy....was I wrong!

Trash

Do you have any baseline numbers, in other words data from pre-mod runs?

120 mph trap would be about 75 more rwhp over stock from my crude estimate.

How many cars were there (I know its tough to guess), how many passes, and finally how fast were they working the track?

DSGCOBRA24

That always usually happens. When I went I was expecting mid-high 12s at around 114-116 and ended up with 13.5 at 111. Lol.

What rear tires were you on?

Trash

Don't fear you can get there even at Fontana. You've got to nail the launch and get the 60' down to do it though.

SVT_Z06

Lots of cars. Maybe 200? I think they were working the track fairly quickly.

There was a c6 Z06 with a Modded 427 that did 11.6 @ 121. A 2011 grandsport with a mild cam, ls7 exhaust that was doing 12.4 @ 115.

SVT_Z06

10 year old firehawks. Haha.

SVT_Z06

Looking for my 114 slip. Same et.<br/><br/>The other run was the 427 c6 Z06 that had a mild cam and other mods

SVT_Z06

Only was able to record two runs. Here is the first run. Out the hole real slow. 13.4 @111

When I ran 13.5@111 there was a c7 z06 running 12.2@117

Trash

How many runs were you able to get? I'm going to try be at the next Street Legals event.

Fun stuff for sure.

SVT_Z06

I got in three runs. Next time, I'll be there with drag radials in March, with a goal to reach 116 - 117.

Trash

I'm likely going to try Feb 21 for the next event. The Street Legal events are cheaper and I've found them to be more productive.

DSGCOBRA24

I'll try to be out there also. I want to try out my new drag pack

SVT_Z06

Agreed. $20 vs $50, and you can essentially do the same thing for less.
