I though the hot ticket would be Z06 1st through 4th gears with a ZR1 5th and 6th.

Good luck to everyone getting ready for the mile. We're looking forward to getting out there. We pulled our car out this weekend and did some maintenance. It made it to the dyno for some shake down runs, and we will be putting the real boost to it later this week.
Cheers!

Very nice noticed the sticker on rear, how fast have you been in that silver rocket?

They ran real late on Sunday and barly got on it, It ran above 210 without trying. It should set the Corvette record without any problems this time around. Hopefully it will make some good passes. I am looking forward to seeing it run.

Can't say on the tire pressures as two passes is not exactly a tried and true foundation. For what it is worth, keep the pressures higher for high speed stability.
Like the guys said above, we just barely made to Goliad just in time to make a pass. We ran 210mph shutting down early. The driver was unclear where the finish line was. The next pass was the same boost level held through the traps for 214mph. Unfortunately, we did not have time to make more passes and increase the power.
We're looking forward to the race and seeing all of these great cars. This trip should be more fun than our last marathon trip.
Stop by and check in with us when you can.

We talked to the engineers at M/T, and they pretty much said they wouldn't do it. However, we decided to run them due to the short period of time at high speeds. Looks like we will be the guinea pigs. Can't say on the tire pressures as two passes is not exactly a tried and true foundation.

So with my 670 to the wheels I should hit mabe 197mph? If I'm lucky and get some wind 200mph? I'm not holding my breath.
Hinson, Pic's shows car on dyno what power are you puting down?

Maybe just turn the boost up and see if the stock piston/rods can make one pass. Boom Boom.

I'll be there Friday to watch my buddy run but my car isn't finished yet. I'll be there in October for sure, maybe May. Can't wait to see what my 434 LSX and F2 can do.
