Default Lsxperts built TT Z06 sets new US Corvette 1/2 mile record


Thanks to my team at Lsxperts, Charlie Hill, Joseph Johnson, Brad Ash, Adam Shelton and Garrett Summerville! These guys have been the best crew and group of friends anyone could ask for. We had the best, fastest weekend of any Corvette in the 1/2 mile on the planet ever.
Saturday runs...194.46, 202.70, 207.18, 206.99 & 207.56
Sunday runs... 209.10 & 210.47

We broke the previous US Corvette 1/2 Mile record of 205 and smashed our own record several times.

Too many people to thank that have helped get us here but I will try.
John Smith & Hunter Smith at American Speed Shop for supplying us the fastest VP fuel available.
Brian Tooley at BTR
Russell Clay & Luís at FuelTech
Jeremy Jones at RPM Transmissions
Kyle Thompson at Thompson Motorsports
Jon Banner at Fuel Injector Connection
Alan Greer & Chuck Greer at Driven Collision
John Lomant at Fastlane
Trevor Loken Photog
Johnny & Chad Thornton at Racing Radios
Andy Rittenberry at Double A Graphics

Thanks to everyone involved!!!!

Thanks, I wonder which intake it has?

It must be turning some decent rpm to go 210 with a glide.

Can see the holley high ram in the pictures.

As for rpm, it could be running something like a 3.0 rear gear which wouldn't make RPM that crazy.

FuelTech pretty much runs the complete car at this point.
But this was one of the prototypes for their LS street car platform they now offer. Plug and play harness in their new kit.
The FT500 is outstanding and tuning features unmatched in the industry.

I'm looking forward to playing with one. Running a PG there isn't much else to run besides the engine and boost control right? Not sure if it has nitrous too.

Man, that's really moving. I'd be happy with 200 in a mile. To do it in a half mile takes more guts than I have!

I'm not sure how much is in their website. It's fairly new. Plenty of knowledgeable guys at their shop that can answer any questions.
