Can Fartpipe go 10's with his new 1999 red FRC?????
So I just picked up a near and dear to me 1999 Red FRC. Some on here may remember that about 9-10 years ago or so I bought my first corvette. A 2000 Red FRC with MS3 cam, LS6 heads, RKT56 trans and 4.10 gears, textralia clutch, tick master, kooks headers, slp loudmouth, drag pack, fast 90mm intake, LS2 ported TB, 85mm MAF, NGK TR55's, stock suspension, 100k mile stock bottom end that made 444rwhp dynojet and ran 10.81@130mph.
Well the new whip has some great mods and ironically I knew the owner of the car back when I had my original FRC. So this car tugs at my heart strings being a red FRC.
Mods:
D1SC procharger
383ci Forged low compression motor
ported heads, blower cam, LS6intake, stock Tb
Kooks headers, borla catback
RKT56 trans and rear 3.42s (bummer! gear ratio lol needs 3.73s IMO)
wide body rear
big stereo (needs to come out for weight!!)
Spec twin disc (this may have to before racing.... shes a little light switchy)
Poor man drag pack, GTO Spares with M&H bias plys... working on some bias ply rear tire drag pack.
614rwhp on the same dyno my old car used to go on. (*hot day)
Now I know that motor vs centrifugal blowers is odd as the power #'s can be so largely apart yet similar in ET due to the power curves.
I'm not sure what this car can run but I'm sure a mid 10 is there if all stars align. If i brave the spec twin disc can i make it go 10's in the question??? Ooooorrr should I throw this new Monster Stage 3 clutch i have sitting here on the shelf and try harder? I gotta be prepared for the Corvette rental fastly approaching in November at MIR
In conclusion the following people are slow:
Gary2004Z06
RobZ
Pittyman
Capthuff
HotWheelz
Tirecraft
PRE-Z06
Nicholbag
Franypannies
RKT56 (rick kim)
joepizzaman
Stonenbonerz
LS1LT1
..... the list goes on!!!

Hey Butterfly, good to see you back in a real car.
It looks pretty good but the mail box has the best look...lol. What the heck...did you hit it ?
10.4 is my guess

I picked up one set from Jay (4DRUSH) at the corvette challenge a few years back the other set I really do not recall, if I see them again I'll shoot you a PM. If I remember correctly, they were pretty common on car car sites such as Ecklers. Maybe give them a call.
