2011 Vortech goes 9.96

[Dtony]

Hi, I lurk here a lot but have not posted. I was able to get a 9.96 out of my 5.0 yesterday and thought I would share it over here.

The car has:
Boss short block and intake (stock heads and cams)
Boss valve springs and billet oil pump gears.
Long tubes and offroad x pipe, stock mid pipes and GT500 mufflers.
Stock 6R80 trans with a 3600 converter.
A lot of rear suspension work and 3.31 gears.
Race Stars with the new MT extreme DR.
Most importantly a Vortech at 12 lbs.
Stock fuel system with KB bap and Injector Dynamics 72 lb injectors.
Tuned by CRT Performance.

The car weighs 3840 with me in it. I am running on pump gas and torco. It is so heavy because I have not lightened it at all, and added the SC and roll bar.

Nice pass man!

Nice ! Who's converter ?

 

[Dtony]

Thanks guys.
I run a Circle D converter. It's a 3400~3600 but I get the full 3600 when I flash it. I hold it at 1200 then flash it. I have found my car works best by shocking the chassis.

Probably so, I go there a few times a year when I can get out of work in time. I really wanted to go there this fall because with their track prep I think it would go a 9.8x.

Thanks man, it definitely took some patience. But it paid off.

You do, this combo loves the 3.31's.

suspension setup?

 

[Brutal Metal]

Great accomplishment, Richard did it first and there's just a small list of cars that aren't vendor shop rides that have cracked 9's in the 5.0!

Nice pass, what track was this at?

 

[alpha06]

Man, that car is hauling!!!!

 

[SneakyPete]

sick set-up dude!

I saw him the week after that run at Edgewater and the 9.96 pass was at Edgewater as well. Ok, I was wrong. The "other" Cincy area track for the 9.96 pass.

Nice pass, what track was this at?

The track in the vid is Tri-State Dragway in Hamilton and highlights how well the setup must be working, the track is not known for good prep

His suspension setup wasn't anything over the top either. Car just flat out works. He was told to stop running at Edgewater as he didn't have a license or a 10pt when I saw him last.

Sorry guys, I lost track of this thread.

So to date the best run is now 9.91 at 138. 1.44 60'. I have ran high 9's at 3 different tracks and all on pump gas with Torco additive. Like someone mentioned the video is at Tristate and the track wasnt the best that day, but the car still works well.

The rear suspension is all the bolt ons:
BMR LCA's with UMI welded relo brackets, H&M adj UCA with the nose -2º, Granatelly Adj panhard, Drake rear girdle, CHE axle brace, Lakewood old school 50/50 shocks, Axle exchange alum DS, 1" lowering springs all the way around.

I am running stock axles with 3.31 gears. Going to upgrade that stuff over the winter and probably go ahead and make the roll bar a cert cage.
