New best everything (1.26 60')
Finally got the car all sorted out and took the car to a local import/domestic race for some more track tuning.
Car is working very well and I couldn't be happier.
I am still on a very conservative tune (E85 11.3 AFR/14* timing) considering this engine is on stock internals.
For those not familiar with build it is very simple.
LS3 with custom cam, valvesprings, ARP headstuds and rod bolts (thats it)
Custom return style fuel system for E85
Front mount turbo (cast wheel S480) setup fabricated by my borther (RLZ Engineering)
RPM powerglide and 9" IRS conversion
Looking over my data logs showed 11 psi on the first and fastest pass of the day.
The time slip below is the 1st pass off the trailer right after the track was prepped. I tried turning the launch boost up a couple times which resulted in tire spin. They never resprayed the track only drug it a little bit so I couldnt work on increasing the launch.
Best passes were both on 8psi launch and 11-12psi down track!
Here is one of the 5.7 passes we got on film 1.30 60' here!
Here is a cool video that my brother took with his phone (I know we are hi tech right LOL) so we could see what the rear suspension/tires were doing on launch.

Congrats man! That thing is flying and it doesn't even have any boost in it yet. Put it on 15psi and shoot for 8.50s on stock bottom end.
The car is very efficient as it sits, I can't wait to see it turned up. Did you weigh it?

Thanks guys for the words. I went by scale to check weight but they had already shut it down. I will get my brothers corner scales soon to weigh it.
Before I removed a/c and added turbo setup it was 2950 w/out me. I'm guessing it picked up approx 100lbs.

Gonna have to wait a little bit for it but I can't imagine what this car would do maxing this turbo out (roughly 400hp left in it)

Damn, that thing is 600 pounds lighter than my C6. Glad you never ran the 1/4 in your C6 M6 carso my record still holds. That's an 8 second car the way it sits. Awesome!

E85 and good tuning seems to be the secret sauce for getting these turbo stock blocks to hold up
amazing!
how much was the RPM PG setup? what else have you done to the suspension? those tires are flat out hooking!!

Suspension is pretty basic:
front sway bar removed
Pfadt Rear sway bar
Pfadt Gen1 Coilovers w/ eibach drag springs up front
The 15" wheel conversion and the ET street radial pros finish it off which IMO are the most important piece of the puzzle
