Default Wheels up !

Went to the track last night with LPE,Arun,Carlisle,and Roadrebel.... Had a few new personal bests for old faithful. Had a blast and the car ran great all night. I assure you that it will run a better number at Indy. On the 1.272 60ft I launched in D1 and forgot to shift and the track went away and I couldn't get it in the 1.2X's again.....
1.272 60ft
9.447
147.15


Not bad for a "stock untouched longblock"

That's bad ***! I can only hope to come somewhat near that with way too much into my car. Lol. I won't be doing it with this whining T-56 though.

What trans setup is in that car? 4L80?

Will the car 60ft as well with a 4L80E tranny? what 1st gear are you running in your 4L65E now? That car is sick as is, but another 200 hp would be nice, of course the little tranny wouldn't like that very much!

1.2 60ft's with the 4L65E and the right converter with a drag radial and stock suspension (stock shocks?) is just such a kick *** combination.

Check out the 8 second C5 thread that's going on right now. That car has a 4L60E in it, and has been in it for years.

BADASS CAR Rodney-simple and deadly!

I think the car was doing wheels up launches all night-it was like watching bracket racing to see how many passes the car kept making on that stock motor!


RPM TRANSMISSIONS for the win!!!!!!!!!!!!!
