VMP TVS, Oh so close...

[466roller]

Took the car to the track last night in the FL heat to see what the changes would net. Ended up putting in a 2C converter, some Viking shocks and a VMP Ice tank. Previous P.B. was 10.28 @136.. but was a consistent 10.35-.40 car. That was back in March at Bradenton.

So I loaded my VMP street tune and...

The last run the car hit the limiter on the 3-4 shift. This is without the RPM Patch which I'm sure will put me easily in the 9's even in the heat. Working on a video now. Scales were broken but car usually weighs in right around 3950 with me in it. Big thanks to Alex from VMP for the tuning support

Stock bottom end? A tvs paired with the 6r80 is a great combo. If you could please post up your entire set up. You will pick up a few tenths in the cooler air, on my 04 with a TVS you could feel the car pick up in cooler air.

Car only make 699/580 on the dyno.

nice times! Low 10's is where I'm trying to get to. What were your 60 foot times before the converter?

Why comp N/A cams?

congrats Donny , its stupid hot out right now...I wont go near the track this time of year. Should go deep in the 9's this winter as it sits.

Thanks Marc. I know by today's standards it's not that big of a deal, buuut Its my only car and it will run close to the same #on the street.

I am looking at having my engine built, rods and pistons, IF it does not exceed my budget. If it does I will be going '15 short block.

'15 and up cars are making mid 700 to over 800 RWHP. I honestly believe these will survive at 800 all day long. My goal is 9.50 in better air in true daily driver trim

699 is way too much for a stock motor especially on 93. No surprise it let go.

Great times though!

That's the current numbers on E85.

Best 60' was a 1.61 but usually mid/high 1.6's. I picked up the cams for super cheap so I figured, why not. I do not have limiters on the intake side, only the exhaust.

G3 is an S550 car owned by sheldon lewis and it went 9.30's i believe on stock long block before it let go but it had twins on it. He told me 750-800 max on stock 15 longblock to stay safe but that is still a 100hp bump over the known safe limit for the 12 long block.

 

[cjd223]

That's the current numbers on E85.

I am guessing that's about where I was on E85.

 

[Brad59]

Can you put a 15 short block in these cars and use everything else off an 11 to 14 or is there other stuff that needs to be changed?

Very Nice! Congrats! :beer:
