Nitto DR's. 315's. Street tires.


And I have ran the Z06. He is mostly stock...on average I am about 1.3 seconds faster down the 1/4. Which is about 13 cars.
Owner posts here as Z06-Goose.

[Mr. Luos]

looks good mr. luos
have you ever run that red z06?

This is the best I have. Not that exact Z06, but mods are almost the exact same on the one in the video.
He redlights and I sleep.

that's a 11.5 at least in Dallas here with the altitude corrected. nice numbers.
I know I can touch those mid to low 11s when I get the Dana 60 in place.
I wanna dig in those 60', so far 1.9 60' on stock bolt. it only gets better from there.

Mr Lous when you heading to Dallas man? I wanna line up them TAs...
I will redyno on the new bolt, and gear set 3:73. should be close to 500rwhp/490+tq. on 402, A4 NA setup I know that's very good.

A dana rearend will lower your dyno numbers. 3.73's will also make your dyno numbers appear lower.
Just like 4.11's and the Moser 9".
My dyno numbers would be much larger with the 3.42'd 10 bolt under it.

My car should run upper 10's lower 11's at sea level. Weather would make the largest difference. Tranny probably wouldn't like too many runs down there though. That upgrade will have to wait a while.

on second thought you think i should go with 3:43 gears rather than 3:73...
the 3:42 will hold up better since more metal, more robust.

that's a c5 z06 right? what mods? just curious...

[Mr. Luos]

Exhaust, intake, plugs, wires, etc...
Nothing too big. Then again, those Z06's don't need much to be quick with them being light. They move right out of the box.

With an A4...I would go with a Moser 12 bolt with 3.73's.
Since the auto preloads...I don't think you would have much to worry about. The Dana would be overkill I think. Get other opinions though...that is just my thinking on it.

yeah I asked a friend of mine who's a mechanic, also LG and the price was so insignificant between Moser and Dana 60 that I went with the bigger one. I may wanna spray a 200 shot in a year or two, or put a blower on it. it should be bullet proof. oh check out this c5 z06 getting smoked at the Ennis track.
same thing full exhaust.

[Mr. Luos]

Can't see the times.

[djvaly]

took it easy on the launch, launched kindda timidly, first time ever at 1/4mi, low 12s. the c5z06 ended up doing mid 13s I think.

[Mr. Luos]

I haven't been able to get a solid launch with mine yet either.
Thinking 11.80 at 119 here if I can. Everytime the car went 1.6 shorts it bogged. Just needs a little more RPM...but the first time I went this season the DA was really high and the track wasn't sticking.
