Default ***LMR1200HP 2019 ZR1 LT5 Corvette runs 9.00 @157mph INSIDE***

Just finished testing our LMR1200HP Package for the 2019 ZR1 Corvette. We took it to Baytown last night to see what the Horsepower gains would give us at the drag strip. Last time out we ran 9.48 @ 146mph with the LMR1000HP package. We were very pleased last night to run 9.00 @ 157mph on 18” drag radials. We fought new TCM issues that kept us from dipping her into the 8sec zone. This is still stock fuel system with the exception of a low side fuel pump, no methanol injection and stock TCM since we ran into issues. We know there is still plenty left on the table with this current setup. A few more passes and tweaks and we’ll be 8.X on stock bottom end, stock trans and torque converter without methanol injection. Enjoy!

Nice run for sure, but your signature say record holder..... Didn't AMP run a 8.8X a month ago?



EDIT at 1:58PM I see you updated your signature.

Why would you leave the tcm stock? Getting that thing to run a pass with the tcm not tuned has you lying to it big time which they love an inaccurate torque model lol.

She made right over 1100rwhp without meth and NO E85. We are running VP MS109 at these HP levels.

LOL, hence the "issues with TCM"

We did not plan to run the stock TCM, after getting to the track we had issues with the unlocked TCM from HPT. So instead of packing up and heading home we put the stock TCM back in to make some passes.

Wow... congrats...

Keep this up and you're going to start to dispel the myth that the A8 is a terrible transmission lol.

8s on a stock trans and converter... insane.

Outstanding run. When you guys run the Z06 and the ZR1, can you feel the down force difference of the two cars at top end?

WOW!
Just curious how much rwhp you picked up between the two setups to pick up 11 mph and nearly 1/2 second?
