3100 lbs with driver. Russ drives the car and I think he weighs 240 lbs. so 2860 without driver.

Re: Shon Herron's Bolt On 97 Z28

Thats funny, someone else said that is a CAM only car... This is what was quoted on the site that first saw that video:

1997 Z28 T-top M6 3100ish RW with 240# driver (Russ). Moser 12bolt 4.33s/spool.
Spohn Adj TA, Drag Bar, Herron Performance LCA/PHR/Tuning, Hooker Headers and y-pipe. BMR K-member, U/L A-arms, Warrior Rims, 1 seat, alt relocated, 1 12" fan, 4" pin on cowl hood, !interior, !HVAC, SJM !ABS/LL, LW Battery, LT4 Springs/locks/retainers with Pro Mag SA 1.6RRs, APC Steering wheel, !Air bags, EWP, CAI, 52mmTB, solid motor mounts. (if I left anything out it was not on purpose.)

The 11.80 pass was made with a Spec Stage III disk but stock PP/TOB<--not a good set up. It doesnt have enough clamping force.

The M6 will be replaced with a T-braked TH350 and 4-4500 stall.

Engine will be replaced with a new bullet, after the 11.80 pass it started having terminal issues, rod bearings have determined to be unhappy.

I will either put a stock short block in it and go run some 11.60s OR more than likely do a cam/stock heads thing and run 10.9s, it will be over 100#s lighter once it hits the track again, which will not be anytime soon.

FYI-no clue the amount of power making it to the rear tires, it was to be on the dyno/WBO2 this month but due to the rod bearings being a bit fragile it will not make it.

..................

I believe that was suppose to have been a quote from Shon.

Shon never said it was cam only. Show me where you see that. He said he MIGHT go with a cam. That car in the vid was running the stock cam/heads with boltons.

Lol, sorry. I just read my post and it kinda sounded like I'm a dick. (I was tired from work and school. I am graduating from the Univ. of South Fl. next week so I've been running on a lack of sleep.) Let me rephrase that.

I had seen that video elsewhere and they guy that posted that said that it was a cam only car. I was really looking for more of a clarification because I don't know anything about the car other than one person said it was a cam only car, and someone else said it was a bolt on only car.

Does anyone know where we can verify all of this? Sorry about that.
