Norm, thanks for the post. We are going to make at least one more trip to the track, need to get the short time down to get a deeper number. The clutch is a big issue right now,also we will tweak the suspention. We are in the process of getting that resolved. I think this is going to be a lot of fun, less than 2 weeks away. It has been real quiet lately, I hope that these tuners and independant guys come out to play with all the trash talking this past year.

Wow!!.. Albert that is sick!!... 150 mph is definetly in a very elite league of its own. Judging by your old 142 mph pass, I'd guess you must have about 150 more hp to bring it up to 150.
Can you disclose what's new on your latest set up?
Did you second stage it?
Thanks!!

Albert -- just be sure to bring some Dr. Pepper to the track. I hear it cures all sorts of clutch woes

Tom -- you have to show. We need to do the "BTR vs BTR" race! *

Norm -- you bringing along the ZR1 as well as the RT10? I for one would love to see an exhibition run in that car.

Cheers,
Ben

Dang! 150 MPH is SICK! Congrats! Based on the 9.9 at 142 I would expect with a similar 60 foot that 150 would get you in the ~9.5 range.

We have 2 stages of nitrous on the car. 100 shot on the first stage and 200 shot on the second stage. Total of 300 RWHP. The second stage is on a custom Nitrous Express direct port kit. That is why we have the big MPH. Also we put a new cam in the car and the second pass we made on the dyno made 570+ on motor alone.

TREYNOR,IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THE EXHIBITION CLASS IS LIMITED TO VIPER VEHICLES ONLY.THE ZR1 TT IS AT LPE IN DECATUR IND. FOR SOME FINAL ADJUSTMENTS IN AN ATTEMPT TO RUN A LOW 9 LATTER ON THIS YEAR.IT WOULD BE GREAT TO LINE IT UP AGAINST TNT 400 SHOT QUEEN SNAKE THAT RUNS A 9.65 AND OR ONE OF DOUG LEVINS LEVEL DEFCON SNAKES.GOOD ENTERTAINMENT FOR ALL TO ENJOY.UNFORTUNATELY IT JUST NOT IN THE CARDS

Albert,

Excellent MPH, your car must be tuned very well to keep running on a stock bottom end. If you have some dyno sheets I would love to see them and forward them to some of the guys at NX they will get a kick out of it.
