Finally...track times...updated 11-5-07
Before everyone chimes in to tell me how to go faster....I want to say that I took the car out just to make some shakedown passes to get an idea what it may be capable of.
It was on my heavy 18" ZO6 wheels (9.5s front, 10.5s rear) and my car is lowered 2" (w/o LCA relocation brackets, I know they would help alot) The car's suspension is basicly set up for road racing for now. I know that it'll go faster, but considering that this combo has only 130 miles on it, I think it did pretty decent for it's first time out
I'd also like to add that I'm on a mail order tune from PCMforless, a stock throttle body, and single 3" exhaust. In the near future I'll be adding a 58mm TB, 3" true duals with X-pipe, and have it dyno tuned in tulsa. I bet it picks up a few mph with all that done
Sorry for the crappy phone pics
and a quick shot of the car...

They still spun like crazy in 1st and 2nd (sometimes in 3rd) The track was a little slicker that usual last night though....

Yeah I remember you telling me that Bret, but seeing how the motor only had 130 miles on it when I got to the track last night, I was trying to take it a little easy on it...so I was shifting @ 6500. I can tell that it wants to be twisted higher though. Yet another reason why I'm confident that this thing will eventually see 120mph traps
The cam sounds friggin wicked at idle...I've gotten several favorable comments about that. Thanks for a helluva cam, Bret

Time for a track dedicated set of wheels and some better tires then. Even some salad shooters with m/t's will net you a lot better times.

Like I said I was just trying to get a few shakedown passes out of the car last night, next time I'll be putting the M/Ts on though.
