Good run Mike. No offense to the Corvette guys, but it feels good to beat a 'vette. I've gotten lucky once or twice against them.

It was definitely luck for me but a race is a race, I can die a happy man knowing my $7000 car beat a $120,000 car. That ZR1 is beautiful though.

I was running the red C5 Z06 when he broke. Really was looking forward to line up against a Vette.

Traction was a serious issue for me on the street tires, but was pretty happy with the out come, especially the trap on 14psi.

12psi
13.0165 @ 111.11 1/4 2.1877 60'
14PSI
13.3239 @ 115.56 1/4 2.2968 60'

I was using my HDR app on my iPhone, it takes 2 pics and combines them. If you look at all of the pics you can spot something.

The ZR1 needed some driver mods ;)

I just called Ford and it's $425 per axle...

**Steve-0** · 10-18-2010, 03:09 PM

Driveshaft shop level 2 axles are only 950 for a pair I think

I've heard nothing but bad things with aftermarket axles... I remember all the trouble Burntire had with them.

Yeah I heard the stock axles are strong its the wheel hop and what not you have to worry about. Also gotta make sure the diff ain't moving around.

**Steve-0** · 10-18-2010, 05:00 PM

Oooo I forgot about all of that!

**speedracer** · 10-18-2010, 05:11 PM

Probably not, It's a street car that I drag race once and a while and I still want it to turn left and right too.

Shouldn't stop you from doing wheelies

**Steve-0** · 10-18-2010, 10:47 PM

After reading everything on full tilts site and svtp...I may go that way next year too. You keeping your irs brace or going with a different diff cover? Anyone ever figure out which way is stronger? Figure I might as well ask since I'm sure you've read up on this lol.

I think the brace will be fine for what I'm going to do after the FTB install.

SAC81, I saw the Monte and was impressed by the ET and MPH, that's way cool.

Bob, more RPM was not the answer for me. :D Also wounded at the moment, not sure what it is yet. Somewhere between the tailshaft and the pinion, hopefully something simple like a bolt out of the driveshaft loop is causing the vibration/noise I'm getting. Supposed to race the Classic kick off at Norwalk Sunday, so I hope it's nothing big.

Lots of cool rides out there Saturday, impressive cars.

Just a note, PRP site has corrected the times. Gates open at 11am, runs start at noon.
