whats the new setup?

 

edited post to include mods

 

So before you had all the mods but stock cam? Did you do anything to the heads?

I'd say 12's are you're either way.

May I ask why you ditched the vortech elbow? I've got one and I'd like to know if I should keep it. Actually I think I may have a trickflow.

 

sounds like you need more traction now.

 

definate improvement

Get some drag radials now and take her to the track

 

you need 3.73's not backwards from 3.42's. get those 3.23's swapped out. you will prolly lose a tenth with the 3.23's and pick up 2-3 by going to the 3.73's.... traction permitting

 

Easily hit 12's w/ drag radials on a cool day....otherwise traction would be hard to find if your on a stock tire. I have no sound at work...but 2nd or whatever gear it shifts into after you started...pulled way harder in the 2nd vid.

 

Just a personal preference... i was going for that black factory look... i also think that the metal elbows have too much heatsoak and that the rubber elbow stays cooler...

My future plan is to go with the strange s60 with either 3:56 or 3:91's (if those are options)...

i defenintly want to get some drag radials but they are not cheap... rigth now i am running stock wheels and tires but i do have some 98 c5 wheels that use a very soft rubber that bites real good...


Did you all happen to notice my oil pressure guage? what the hell is up with that?

Well, it's definitely pulling harder in the "after" video. Whether you can pull off a 12-second run on street tires has yet to be seen.

 

Believe it or not, your probably losing HP with a Vortech. I was told by the guy at the dyno that anytime they see one of those on the dyno compared to stock, it always loses close to 10 hp. So you'd be better off going stock, but I think Trickflows are better than stock, so hopefully you have that.
