DcrDavid Posted August 24, 2019 Author Share Posted August 24, 2019 So more track visits. This time out I was getting after it launching the car. 2 step set around 5200rpm. Which by the end of the day resulted in breaking both half shafts at the same time lol. New pb though 10.1@136 running out of nitrous in 4th. Also made a full trim street tire pass on motor vs a stick hellcat on slicks. Took the W on that one and 11.6@125 first time ever attempting a pass on the 245 federal street tires.

DcrDavid Posted August 24, 2019 Author Share Posted August 24, 2019 Fast forward to about april of 2019 and it was time to return to shift sector. This time on kill going for that 170mph pass. No games this time. There were 3 blue s30s there on saturday. Mine. A small block extremely clean auto one. And a ls swapped turbo also. Was cool to see other Z’s out there going down the strip. First pass of the day spraying 3rd-5th it kissed the limiter across the traps to a 170.19mph pass. GOT IT! Made 3 motor passes after that with a best of 152mph. Speedhunters and nrg also got some pics of the car while at the event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DcrDavid Posted August 24, 2019 Author Share Posted August 24, 2019 So this met one of my goals for the car. 170mph in the 1/2 now all I needed was a 9 second pass at over 140mph. And just my luck there was a track rental the same day. So I loaded the car up. And headed north about 4 hours to sac raceway. First pass. Grenaded a half shaft. Not a great start. So i ditched the 2 step as it was just too much for the stock half shafts and I just couldnt work the pedal right. Made some more passes after that to a best of 9.8@143. 2 goals met in the same day. Decided to make one more pass on motor as I still havent made one with the slicks on. And well........ I found a second neutral in the t56 where 3rd gear was. No grind. No gear nothing. After a swift yank it popped out and like magic all the gears were still there. And heres a pic of one of the axles that made the 9 second pass.

DcrDavid Posted August 24, 2019 Author Share Posted August 24, 2019 The goals have been met. That means its time for more power. From here I started brain storming. Turbo? Twin turbo? Badass na ls7? Supercharger? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DcrDavid Posted August 25, 2019 Author Share Posted August 25, 2019 Got a killer deal on a c6 corvette procharger kit. D1SC, 10% lower, boost cam, meth going on. After the radiator support was cut out the whole kit dang near fell together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DcrDavid Posted August 25, 2019 Author Share Posted August 25, 2019 I fought belt alignment issues for a good month or so and after destroying a couple belts I think it was finally straightened out. So it was dyno time. Still only had 245s on the car so it wouldnt hold after 5800rpm. But at 5800rpm on 12psi it made 751whp/685wtq. So with another almost 1000rpm on tap I dont doubt its making over 800whp now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DcrDavid Posted August 25, 2019 Author Share Posted August 25, 2019 I didnt have enough time to address the exhaust before the tune as the blower was still in a different state the day before. So I brought it in open xpipe and it had a y to a single 3” and that just wasnt going to flow enough. Off to the exhaust shop for a 3” y to single 4” and straight through vibrant 4” muffler.

DcrDavid Posted August 25, 2019 Author Share Posted August 25, 2019 And this brings us to current day. Plans from here are 8.8 rear, coilovers, flares, 5 lug, and new wheels/tires to start it off. Looking to go 180mph+ in the half and starting off sub 9.50@150+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelsonian Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 DcrDavid, Incredible build you have there, very impressive! I am reluctantly coming to terms with having to sell my brand new 5 lug, 17" Volk TE37V wheels with brand new BF Goodrich Sport Comp 2's (245' F, 275' R) or New Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 (265' R). I am planning on running a new wider flare and 315's which would force the sale of these beloved wheels. Perhaps something you may be interested in..

DcrDavid Posted August 26, 2019 Author Share Posted August 26, 2019 Those are amazing wheels and I have been eyeing them but i need an 11” wheel out back too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear you on the wider needs for the rears. I think I am going the SSR Professor SP1R's route in 11.5 or 12"... Looking forward to seeing new progress with your car..

Locadio Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Impressive build! For the 9.9 run (nitrous) what was your suspension setup? Looks the 26x8 slicks clear fenders barely, did you rolled them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks the 26x8 slicks clear fenders barely, did you rolled them? So for the 9.8 and 9.9 passes they were on a 26x8 Hoosier bias ply. The fenders are trimmed they cleared there no problem but were a bit tight to the factory spring perch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grannyknot Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 @DcrDavid, when you cut the rad support out did you weld in any kind of extra support underneath to compensate? I'm thinking of cutting my rad support and trying to think of a way to restore the strength. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuD 91gt Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 I’m curious if it is noisy at all? Especially with the poly mounts? Did you use the Neon coilovers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
