cyrus Posted January 27, 2003 Author Share Posted January 27, 2003 dual 2.5 with 2.25 mufflers scottieGNZ watch out, here I come! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudge Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 Definately an awesome time, a Z28 miiiiiiight pull a high 12 but more like a 13 second car. I see alot of Z cars only pulling Z28 numbers, even though they are 1000+ pounds lighter, so you did quite well IMO! Imagine an NA car, getting ~20 MPG and running high 9s!

Top Fuel ZX Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 12.077 seconds on a stock LS1. That's cool!! That car is going to be a beast when you put a LSD and some slicks on. Do you plan on reaching sub-tens in the quarter? Keep up the good work. Sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudge Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 Road race that sucker, that thing will put the smack down! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeromio Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 I don't see why an LSD would be that important in a straight line with an IRS car. Granted, I've never driven a high powered Z before, but in a dead straight line, I could easily lay down dual stripes with the old L28. Now tires and gears - very critical. I wonder what the results would be with a 2nd gear launch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darius Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 wow that fast, my stock Lt-1 went 12.3 at 113, I wish I got a Ls1 but I did my motor in 97 and Ls1's were hella $$$$$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudge Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 Single 2.5" or dual? The Z28 gets a single 2.75" bleh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyrus Posted January 31, 2003 Author Share Posted January 31, 2003 This weekend I may go back to the drags. I plan on lowering the coolant temperature, to see if I can get into the 11's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 So are there any estimates for a 2,800 lb car. LS1/T56, 3.7:1 R200 LSD and 225/50-16 Yokohama S306's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest zfan Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 I am going to guess mid 12's with 2800 lbs and no miss shifts..Sorry couldn't help it Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zthis Posted February 1, 2003 Share Posted February 1, 2003 what brand of tires did you pull a 1.8 with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 Gary - Nope, just now starting to actually put it together. You might give John a call and see what he can tell you about the headers. This last set he has are OK on the driver's side and close enough on the passenger side that he said he'd just cut and reweld if it's not just right. Mike - Actually that was too close to the truth. I have a habit of missing 3rd. It's about 1/4" further than my arm reaches without leaning forward. That's why I'm having the shifter moved back a bit on the T56. That grinding sound really grates on me. I'm still figuring I'm going to have to try some runs starting in 2nd. It may screw the 60' a bit but I might make it up by skipping a shift. Anyone tried that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyrus Posted February 3, 2003 Author Share Posted February 3, 2003 I got fog/rained out of sacramento... I got my tires at the salvage yard from a Dodge Conquest. I bought the tires and rims complete with a nail/screw in each. As far as the brand, one is goodyear and on is BFG. I plan on getting some good tires/rim/suspension soon.

cyrus Posted February 10, 2003 Author Share Posted February 10, 2003 I raced again this weekend. I ran 12.3 at 119 with a 1.8 or 1.9. Anyways on my third run my half shaft became a Quarter shaft! I heard that these are not supposed to break!!! aaarrrrgggghhhh! Cyrus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeromio Posted February 10, 2003 Share Posted February 10, 2003 Do you mean one of the joints broke, or the actual shaft? What kind of axles are you using, stock UJointed or CV? Breaking UJoints is very common. Breaking CVs is virtually unheard of. Breaking Stub axles (the shaft that runs thru the bearing carrier of the strut) is pretty rare, but not unheard of. I've never heard of anyone actually breaking the half shaft itself though. If you break a stub axle, and the car has rear drums, then chances are that the whole wheel would fall off.

jeromio Posted February 11, 2003 Share Posted February 11, 2003 That is highly impressive: (very large version of the same image here ) Musta been somthing wierd going on with the launch or the shaft or something to cause the shaft to go instead of the joint. When I first saw that, I thought that sway bar was a bent up part of the shaft. (That is a sway bar, right? Mine doesn't have a rear sway bar) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyrus Posted February 11, 2003 Author Share Posted February 11, 2003 I broke the actually half shaft, right in the middle where the rubber boot is. It is 2 or 3 pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
