Fresh HD video from Buttonwillow!

I ran a 1:56.1 at Buttonwillow the other day, PB, config #15 counterclockwise...

Here's a few laps, still working on some sections of that layout. Drove the car 500 miles roundtrip to and from the track on slicks...

Check out the rear tire in this shot, almost got some air.

My stock LS3 heads are angle milled and have a stage 3 port/valve job from West coast cylinder heads with a Cometic .36 Gasket. We are around 11.9 to 1 comp. CMS speced the cam and tuned the car with a few different octane ratings, all of them using meth, and some incorporating the "cow booster".

I run the NW 102 TB and ported 102 Fast intake, with 1 and 7/8s Dynatech headers, 3" exhaust to Z05 Mufflers...

Ryne at CMS has a Mustang Dyno, that tends to read a bit low, but we have seen 515 RWHP give or take, depending on the tune...

The car will stay with or gain on a C6 Z06 with cold air intake and a tune, on the straight a ways. The Z has a wider power band, so it still pulls VERY hard on the road course with less peak power...

Not sure on the specs, here's an idle clip from the C6...

Never meant to hurt any feeling LOL, If I had to do it over, I would have gotten the Z06 from the start...

I agree. Wish i would have started with a used z06 instead of a new base model.

Here is session 3 from the day, Dave in his lightly modded/tuned Z06 on Hoosiers, and my Head/cam C6 on Pirellis...

I synced up both our cameras in the pits before we went out, then edited the vid to include multiple shots!
