carbed vette went 10.26@126 ...200 shot

I ran the car at the local T&T on Sunday. Weather was sunny and 75 deg...


car weight with driver 3000lbs


1st run with my dynomax hemi super turbos ( 20" case..nice and quiet)

12.63 @ 106 1.82 60'

2nd run mufflers and pipes off ( i have a quick disconnect...10 min)

12.23 @110 1.80 60'

3rd pass dual stage. leaves on a 100 shot,1 sec out it goes to 200 total

10.26 @127 1.46 60'

I had a problem here. At the 900-1000 ' mark the lexan roof decided to leave the car, soaring as high as the timing lights, so about that time i let off. The roof was unhurt, just needs reglued.

this was with the stock rear rims 26X11.5X16 ET streets @ 12 lbs ( i did a 4" wheelie), front runners, the D-36 with 3.08 gears is still alive and making no noise. I think it has more in it, but i'll just run motor till the end of the season, then i'll bring the second kit in sooner and see what happens. I think it will go 128-129 MPH ?

I should have a video to post later this week

Are you running a 2 1/2" dual exhuast system? Just curious as to where the restriction is. Nice times. Allen

Thanks for the reply. I'm with you on the restriction. It has to be the mufflers. Reason I ask is I'm in the process of upgrading my exhaust to a Mufflex 3.5" system. Mine is a street car and I like things quiet to but with high flow. Thanks, Allen

I have found there's always a trade off. flow for noise. It all depends on the individual.


I use 2 summit band clamps in the front and 1 bolt in each hanger in the back and it's off, this way you never have to deal with collector bolts and i still have 8" extensions past the collectors for producing TQ.

good luck
