117 mph trap is good for a mid/high 11 with a 1.8ish 60 foot. My Nova trapped 118 and went 11.4's with a 1.6. My SS goes 11.7-11.8 with only a 113-114 trap due to my 1.5 60 foots.
A new ZO6 will trap 122-124 mph so they have you there, but you might be able to out 60' them and not have them catch you.

That is very funny Bluebeast. And I would love a race with a Z06. Not that I think I would win but it would give a great fight.
Everybody is optimistic with the times they might get but I think after doing some question asking, I think I could get into the 11.80's as it sits now. In April I will go race in Redding when they actually prep the track. I was pulling 1.8 60' last time with a good track and 2.0 with an unprepped.
I'm planning a new Detroit locker with 3.55 or 3.73 gears to be done by the end of this month. I think these gears ( and my new clutch) may give me a few more MPH and could help pull me to the high 11's. 4th/5th gear would slip before where the new 600 lbs rated clutch doesn't slip anymore.

I would never call a Vette owner anything because I firmlybelieve in respecting my elders!

You have now qualified for the next round. Your opponent? Mr. Rogers
Nice run - not all 'Vette owners are dicks. Just most of them.

How big of a turbo is that? I have a TDo4 with a 50 pound compressor wheel on the way with new 700cc injectors. They have video of a skittle running an 11.28 @ 128 with the 50 pound an hour turbo.

it is a 76 mm BB turbo, i am not a huge turbo guru yet as this is my first one and i am not sure on the exact specs. i can fit my fist in the opening though. i am hoping to set the new record for a t-76 car with the t-56 trans. the best i have heard to date was fast mark with a 9.7 @ 145-150 ish

I'm looking for new, softer rear springs too. WHen does this list end? Never.
JD What kind of gear ratios did you have in those cars?

the guy that has the record has an 88 on his car now and he went 8.95 but he has an auto now. we will see how this setup goes if it is not enough i can look into an 81 don't think i would do the 88 without going to the auto trans. this 76 should hit full boost at a hair under 4k rpm and at 25 psi i should be seeing near 800 rwhp if not more.

Speaking of Corvette owners, I found a club near me through a Google search. I emailed the president for some info. I basically asked him they were a club of guys that sat around and polished their cars or did they actually drive them. That was 4 days ago - no response. I think I pissed him off
