Kurt, first run hooked a 1.57 sixty but the truck didn't feel fast. Time for a rebuild or swap to a 4L80E.

Jim headed farther south to family, he will be in florida for a month.

Looked like a good time! Once I get the new clutch in (parts sitting in the garage) then I'd love to meet up again and get some real runs in.

I would've rode with one of you guys if I had known you were going. I could've brought my copy of HP Tuners and laptop to help out Jimbo. Maybe next time...

Did you say your Z06 was down?

It's not down but my shifting went to sh*t...feels like clutch isn't dis-engaguing all the way any more. It started on my last visit to the track. It actually rolls forward unless clutch is pressed to the floor. The dis-engage is near the top. I am having an adjustment problem...I have the McLeod adjustable Master and was told they have trouble leaking. I might try the Tick from Joey soon !

Kurt, Thanks, car ran ok. The only problem was they didn't start running until late, so the air went away real fast..

I think a checkup on the tune is in the near future...

Yeah, it was tee-shirt weather by 11 am. We needed some 45 degree air to run our best....not 72.
