Here is a start on the C6 manual trans list............
Just trying to put together a list for the manual crowd......and by adding tire, clutch and power combo info, it should help make decisions and identify great combos.

1.44 a couple of times, several 1.4's
Here is my post from February.
http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-t...4-60-foot.html
Here's the scan if anyone is interested.
A few more recently.
http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-t...4-60-foot.html
We had a cool day here in S. Fla and the track was open so Theofel, Justasheet and I all hit the track and left with new PB's.
I ran 4 times, two 1.44 60 foots in a row though I missed 3rd the first time. This run was a hot lap and an identical 1.44 60. I launched at 6746 rpm and the track held twice.
Enough beating on my daily driver - stock OE clutch, 61,869 miles and 466 drag strip runs, I didn't go back for a 10.7 slip.
DA was -581 per Drag Times and we had a stiff 25 mph head wind due to the cold front that came through last night.
With the AFR 205 heads I dyno'd at 472/414.
We had a fun time tuning Justasheet to get him his first 10 second slip, but I'll leave that for his post which I'm sure will be following shortly.
Here's the other 1.44 video:
Here's the slips to show it. Two in a row.

Here's the scan if anyone is interested.
At the risk of showing my slow shifting to the world here is my scan of that run.
Three things to note:
Note how I was accelerating into the launch, see the RPM rising (red line top graph) before the car moves (green line top graph).
Also note, I was on the way to flooring the throttle before the tires moved (green line 3rd graph) but I actually lifted just a little on the initial bite. I frankly think it might have been the g-forces, as I see no spin off the line. But I often see little blips of the throttle in the launch sequence on the scans that I do not remember. I do it automatically as I feel the tires bite, or not, during the process.
By the way, notice how the RPM's drop in first gear despite the throttle being floored (green line third chart)...that's the clutch hooking up. Did I mention that this is the 466'th time I've done that to this clutch?
The secret to the good launch is that the RPM's never fall below 4800 during the launch sequence. Easy to say, harder to do.
The G-forces of a 1.44 launch feel pretty nice I can attest.
And in the interest of full disclosure. The reason my shifting was so slow is because I hurt my trans in the run before this where I got a 1.44 but missed 3rd. I broke my 3rd gear blocker ring. It happened to me before - when this happens, you cannot get the car into 3rd without jamming it and it'll grind. Even with my hurt tranny, I knew it was my last chance to get some zero DA weather and daytime traction so I wanted my slip. I knew I could shift slowly and get a decent pass...results in sig.
Here's the part I broke last time, and again this time. I wish I had a 6060!

Thanks for the input guys.....
With 60' being so critical to our (manual) success.....I felt a manual only list would show what and who works. Because most of these guys can drive their azzes off !!
