Impressive run LMR, well done. Why does it sound that way? I've never heard a vette like that.

Blowing through the converter is the cause of the sound. Rpms aren't dropping much during the shifts. Once we get everything hitting right LMR will have me flying.

I have the same problem with the wagon in my avatar. the convertor leaves some mph on the table and losing bottle pressure I think also contributes.

killer run BTW

Yes, this car has factory rear end/halfshafts.

This car is running AR 2in headers with no cats and factory GM Mufflers. When closed, the car sounds and drives like stock. Once you open the baffles it gets loud real quick!

We set this car up to show how Quick and Fast our Heads/Cam package would run at the track. It went a 10.6 @127mph naturally aspirated. The torque converter was built for motor only. We added the gas to be the first in the 9s. With the correct Nitrous converter(which we are building this week), the car is going to go WELL into the 9s!
