11.8. I babied it for a few reasons, was happy to just get a pass in.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk
wow what gears you running looked like you were half track before you shifted out of 1st lol
3.54s and a 28" tire. I'd love to find a shorter tire or numerically higher gear. Either seems impossibru.

just add some nitrous to help you get off the line ;)
Whats your best time slip so far?
Nah. I refuse to use spray. Ill ginf a way around it.
Iirc it was 11.2@?, can only remember the et. 10psi, 2 years ago, only 18* timing lol.

Ginf=find.
So I'm considering a winter project. De-mod the car!
Put power steering back on and giving her some DD ZR1s again. Tired of never driving it because its a PITA. So my manual rack (now a 100% bolt in) and wheels may hit the classifieds in a while.
Also have another idea but won't even open that can of worms until I do it. Its time I enjoy the car, not let it sit.

i dont think i could ever build a car i couldnt drive easily everyday. your car is badass, but it should be driven. i agree with your statement
Why is it a pita to drive? just cause of the manual rack? Remember ...there was a time before power assist...lol.Quote:

Only de mod is the steering lol. I want regular street tires, andvthe rack makes it impossible. I found all my ps stuff at my old house. Should all still be good. So its almost free.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk
Is the manual rack really that bad?
Hell yea, Your car looked badass with the zr1's.

Its a pita because of the skinnies. Always worry about em. I went too far imo.

Yea I'd never fully demod it lmao.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk
and ur just afraid the skinnies will fail on the street?
MEMBER @ LTXtech.com
Yea, potholes, abrupt stops, turns, and always leaving room in case I have to avoid an accident always lingers in my head.

Let me know if your looking for some ZR1's.... I may be able to hook you up... and we are close enough to drive and meet up.Quote:

Yea you never notice em until you gotta stop real fast. Only takes once. I don't mind if I drive it once a month like I am but I really wanna drive it next year. Tired of it being a unicorn. You hear about it but never see it.

I can get some....they are in a storage locker, so it may be a few day's. The are new.... never mounted. I believe they are 17x9.5Quote:

I saw a set of used wheels like mine for sale in a local cl ad. 500.00

Ah. I need a 17x11. Probably won't hook even with that really lol.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk
Yeah.... I'm running the 17x11 as well... that's why I have the 9.5's for sale..... nice wheels and new!!....Quote:

There are no skinny tires rated for the full front weight of a LT1 car, then toss on a front mount turbo kit and yea, not many tires will satisfy the weight requirements.
Just run a light wheel, and deal with the heavier (albeit safer) tire. I know my OEM ZR1 rims weigh next to nothing and a 275 tire isn't half bad at hooking decent.
I didnt know that....how skinny are they?Quote:

185 radial. Theyre what M&H recommended. I've seen heavier cars on skinnies.

Yea, but like you said, a quick tight turn will most definitely overload the ratings on a 185 tire. Not something I want to risk myself.Quote:
