Took it to the track last night bone stock to get some baselines

Added our next round of mods. We installed a Nitrous outlet plate system. Other than that the car is bone stock. Here is the dyno graph on a 50 and 100 shot. This is with only around 700psi Bottle pressure too. We just wanted to see how the LT1 motor liked it... and it LOVED it... Look at that torque!!!!... I did a motor pull also with 3 degrees of timing taken out of the factory tune.



This run is on the 100 shot still with low pressure in the bottle. Stock tires and everything else bone stock

Just finished installing our American Racing Headers yesterday and got it on the dyno. They showed GREAT Gains.

Here is a dyno graph of the car stock with a tune then adding headers.



It picked up 30rwtq from 3800-5k and about 20 or so after that.


Here is the graph from the bone stock pulls to Headers/Tune. Picked up 50rwtq from 3800-5400rwhp.... Thats HUGE improvements.

Went to the track again last night with some more seat time and got a better pass. This is the highest MPH of any C7 so far.

Wow 135! Nice run.

1.919 60' can also be improved right? More potential to shave off time and get to the mid 10s.

Made it to the track yesterday with some better prep and some more seat time in the car. Made a couple of passes that i was happy with. Mods are ARH Headers, Tune, and 150 shot on a nitrous outlet plate kit. BFG drag radials. This is the ONLY mods.

Here is the time slips from my best 2 passes of the day.



The pass on the right my bottle was on the empty side. Thats why the MPH is down.. The 60 on that ass was killer and would have been a 10.35-45 if the bottle was full. Headed back next week for some more passes.

It may be old but still true. Gas is for washin' parts, alcohol is for drinking' and nitro is for going fast!

Nitromethane, nitrous and gasoline, seems they both make you go fast...
