ST1 corvette start up

[racebronco2]

I few people know i am a crew member on Corvette ST1 race team. I finished putting the spare engine together last week. On Friday we dropped a valve, car was running on Saturday evening. First start up, 1/2 throttle, only revved up to about 5000rpms, didn't want the neighbors to complain. Car was tuned for 530rwhp to be legal pounds per hp.

F*** your neighbors! Open it up! LOL. My neighbors used to blast rap at all hours. When I had the Z06 I'd go out there and rev it up a few times. They got the point...

I hope to get a few video's tomorrow. We had to retard the timing by 3 degrees to that we are around 530hp. We still we are 30hp over the limit. Took two more degrees out and made the tune a little richer. Hopefully we are close to the 530mark.

5 ST1 and 5 STR1 cars. This year they are in the same run session. One Viper was dq'd, way too much hp. Had to add 500lbs to be legal. Decided to run SU instead but is several seconds behind. We dyno'd at 564 running extremely lean. Had to add fuel and remove several degrees of timing to get it down to 541rwhp.

Forged stock bore LS7 short block with ported heads and a big nasty cam. Some where around 570 lift and 222 duration.

Hot cam idles will become less and less common and less and less relevant over time as variable valve timing becomes more the norm, but they will always give me a boner.

Here is the first warm-up of the qualifying laps on new as in never used old tires. It was a mistake.

Does that sound nasty or what! Yeah, I'd say it is definitely ready to rumble!

The car would go much faster with a more experienced suspension manufacturer.
