[QUOTE=tekhombre]Yup, it's the whole combination that makes it happen, it's a chain from components, tuning to driver.
Julio, I was hoping you didn't watch the video because I hit the limiter in every shift but I'm blaming the broken tranny on that this time!
With that mph I should have been 10.7x but I couldn't get it in gear cleanly and wasn't powershifting. On one of my passes that day where it wouldn't go into 4th(tranny), I was over .1 faster than the 10.97 at the 1/8 marker.

Rob,
It is a shame you couldn't get that thing in fourth gear a couple of those runs. You would have definetly had a better time than 10.97.

Come to the light Don, there is still time, their light has a dim bulb. LOL

Of course we still use a timing light, just because the Tech-2 or Autotap displays a timing number that doesn't mean that the engine has that at the crank. If you find TDC with a piston stop, mark TDC on the crank pulley and verify it, you'll be surprised at what you will find out.

Come to the light Geneus, there is still timing, I mean time. LOL

[QUOTE=WS6TransAm01]Im gonna get a big head now, so here goes. I remember Rob at Atco with a basicaly stock Z06 asking me how to shift
You remember that Rob?
Yes. This car is my first stick car and that was my 3rd time to a track. It was ugly, but that was just a year ago. Seat time makes all the difference.I can't practice driving like that on the street. Anyway, thanks for the help Alex. You remember when I first broke into the 11's too.I had 3.90's, headers, dr's. Let's get to a track soon.
