Need 12.90's - advice

[lilred7879]

OK - been doing a lot of reading and just need you guys to cut to the chase for me.

The wife's convertible C-6 runs high 12.90-13.00's -- I have to at least keep up!

The truck 2006 - QC - got the SCT tuner and Torrie "canned" 93 tune and a drop in K&N.

Planning on the JMB cat-less mids and getting it dyno tuned after that.

So what do you suggest to get to the magic 13.00 after the above?

Stinker's hi-stall convertor and drag radials....should put you in the 12s..

Yep, make sure you get those catless mids and a re-tune (by Torre) as well. :rock: :burnout:

OK what if I do not go for the drag radials - need to match her heads up anytime-anywhere.

Forgot - I got a 170 thermostat also (not installed or tuned for yet)

You can get by without the DRs if you practice....might consider a tire like the GoodRich....great dry weather traction though not good on a wet road..

the convertor alone may get you there, pm santeen, ask him on the converter

Did someone mention TORQUE CONVERTER??????? Take it from me, I got the same exact truck. Do exactly what was mentioned above. The key to getting solidly into the 12's is the TORQUE CONVERTER. Everything else will get you close, but not quite, until you get the TC. It knocked off a solid 3 tenths in the 1/8 mile, should easily knock off 4-5 tenths in the 1/4. This should be one of the top three mods done to a QC. SCT and catles mids are the other two. Contact Tony at JTSVP and he'll set you up with a bad ass custom TC. Also, mentioned above was a shift kit. Mainly because the torque converter will soften the shifts up and the shift kit will help firm them back. Also, it will increase line pressure, which will help get the fluid flowing better through the cooler.

No need to PM. I just posted up exactly what he needs to hear. Did I mention that I love my torqu converter. :burnout:

You gotta understand, you're giving up a lot of wight to the vette and the HP is close to yours. Also on street tires the vette is gonna grab traction much better than your truck. But, as Larry mentioned above, your best chance in street trim is gonna be with a set of Bfgoodrich KDW's. Practice launching and you'll be pretty close from a dig.

You'e right larry. Okay, did I mention that he should contact Tony for a Torque Converter?

Yup, he should be whooping that vette in no time.
