Mark IV BBC LS2 Cam Sync and Crank Trigger Solution

I'm shifting entirely over to an EFI and distributorless ignition setup (LS2 style) on my new build and it's been a real learning experience over this last year. I still have several months worth of work left to finally get the Camaro back on the street, but I've made great progress so far. I'm hopi...

Talk to apache about the blower. He has that front engine dragster, blower would be eau cool on it. I've been 147 in that car, a...

Re: corvette track update....

As light as my car is it should run bottom 9's or 8.90's. But the intake is box stock unported, heads are bowl blended with a cnc chamber. I think there is some good power to be had with a good port job. And The cam is way big on duration. This engine only pumps at about 145-155. I think with .800 ...

Re: corvette track update....

Thanks gang. Like I said, I'm living on cloud 9 right now. As far as total weight, The car was 2713 with me in it, that was no battery, alternator, or fuel. So, I think just under 2800 on the starting line. I have 250's up front, and 110's out back. I feel like it needs 80-90 out back with a little...

Gotta tell ya, the photo above is the first time I'd seen your ride finished. That is one bad hama-jama and has an absolute stone cold bad-ass look to it. Good job in putting that together brother.

Re: corvette track update....

I run the heavy series Mickey Thomson 3.5 x 15's up front, and Hoosier 29.5 x 11.5W in the back... I usually run about 9 lbs in the slicks... I'm running double adjustables in the back so I can dial in the hook pretty much to match the track conditions. Mine has always been really good at hooking an...

Re: corvette track update....

Man, way lucky that didn't eat a slick at speed... I can't imagine what it would be like to have a slick explosively deflate under power at speed. Yuck.

Re: corvette track update....

I didn't seen any of the carnage in your wheel tubs... Did the slicks you had before grow at rpm and grab the sheetmetal ? I've seen that happen before and it's not pretty :(

Re: corvette track update....

Holy crap indeed !!! Man, that thing is a beast !!! It sure sounds like there is a lot more there - tune things a little different, play with the suspension a bit and tweak the pre-loads, and you should be ripping down the track even faster and meaner. Man, that is an awesome showing for that sweet ...
