As I said before, your car runs great. Stock LS1 down to the exhaust and trapping almost 131 is impressive. With a good set of tires and aggressive launch and shifting, thats a mid 10 sec. car. I agree, the H/C Z06 should be trapping 130+. A shift light helped me gain 3mph in the 1/4 mile but 122mph is way off. Definently check the tune out.

That aggressive launch and better tires look great on paper. BUT-One problem area the C5s and early C6s have is spitting the diff out the back!! You reach a point of no return when the tires are really sticky, a lot of power, and if you rev it high enough, the diff and trans say adios to each other!!! That's the next weak link in the chain of breaking parts......

Another great video Ken, your car sure runs great, if you could only shift it at WOT and w slicks, you could run low 10s. My C1 I drove to BIR on the slicks let the clutch out at 4000 rpm to bog the engine, I ran 9.91 at 131 w a 87 octane 413 SBC and then drove it home again. The secret was a TKO done by Liberty gear so I could shift at WOT. Ben,s car I think is in need of some tuning, as you know your MPH will change very little with more traction, even though not being able to shift at WOT will slow your MPH quite a bit. Keep up the great vids. Dave

@@johnenelsonjr That is the Tremec Heavy duty 5 speed, but when you buy one of them, they will not shift at high RPM. So Liberty gear will face plate them, which removes the syncros and allows you to shift at WOT, so you do not have back off the throttle. If you listen to Ken and Ben,s car run you can hear them lifting and how slow the shifting is, this wastes so much time, so the car runs slow ETs but still good MPH

I would monitor and log the following: Fuel Pressure throughout the run especially at WOT and Under Full Power, Injector duty cycle at WOT, Exhaust back pressures, Knock Retard and if it dropping into the low octane tables, and is he seeing any intervention with the active handling during the run. I would look closely at fuel pressure and fuel trims AFRs at WOT and under full power. PLEASE,, Let us know what you find. Very interested,, Bill Curlee , Corvette Forum Member

Thanks Bill! Ben and I are taking a little break from the hottest part of summer but we will be looking to sort out his issue. I appreciate your interest & taking the time to provide some excellent suggestions of things to look at. Will look at as many of these items as we can and hopefully find the issue(s). Thank you!

Shifting way too early in that z06, let that thing rev to 7-7,500. I saw you shift at 5,500 in one clip.

Sadly soon all combustion cars including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Now they want to slow down all the gas station pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime.!!!!!!!!

I think the manufacturers will phase them out here but now we're running into shortages of battery components of course and the United States electric there's no way in hell it can handle a major switch to electric cars anytime soon cuz we ban new power stations.

This probably wouldn't make that much of a difference but from looming at the video of inside the C6..... is the climate control on?
@Toys4Life2 жыл бұрын
Probably not because it wide open throttle I think it shuts off the air conditioning however, air conditioning grips water, and we really shouldn't be putting water on the track.
