Jordan always has the music on point :goodjob:

[btstone]

nice I love the wheels on the vette Bstone


thanks man

civic33b is trying to be like me with his little c5z iforged:lmfao::lmfao:

[Camrazy2102]

that vette is sick...nice runs!

[sleepys4]

Good times!! Glad to see the vette still running after all that abuse..We need to get a run on camera!

[btstone]

Good times!! Glad to see the vette still running after all that abuse..We need to get a run on camera!

i just ordered a tq converter, and im looking for a gear if any one knows where i can get a 3:42 let me know. i hope i will get all that in soon and put it in over a weekend and get it tuned.

Thankerss...if you are reading this, i will drag that piece of shit you own down any street you pick in my corvette (motor vs motor), just bring $1000 for my victory and i will send you home with your pussy freshly fucked

[collins]

damn stone, i thought u were gonna shoot me a text?!?! lol nice vids. glad you guys all made it home safe.

[btstone]

damn stone, i thought u were gonna shoot me a text?!?! lol nice vids. glad you guys all made it home safe.

it was kind of a real quick thing. he called, i said "you wanna run" he said yeah. so i called jordan and we hit the spot and that was it. it all happened in a bout an hour or so....my bad Collins

[SicStang03]

Same GT that was out the cookout? I thought he said he didn't run on the street?

[btstone]

Same GT that was out the cookout? I thought he said he didn't run on the street?


he doesnt, but we are good friends so he ran me real quick

[SmackedInATL]

Thacker has been texting me saying he drug GrabberGT on motor and will drag Btstone as well on MCE day.

[SmackedInATL]

I believe how slow that Vette was on spray. Grabber must be running a very agressive tune.

[btstone]

Thacker has been texting me saying he drug GrabberGT on motor and will drag Btstone as well on MCE day.


thacker knows my number. if he wants he can bring his shit to the street tonight. i wont be at MCE day

[Lankhoss]

AWESOME video!!!! You need that converter, Btstone....the stock one is holding you back too much.

What shot were you on? You can PM me if you don't want people to know.

That M3 is a beast. It either gets its ass handed to it, or rapes....no in between ha ha

[bowdown201]

Is that Rafa's M3?

[btstone]

Is that Rafa's M3?

no. its a guy named rodney.

[02SloWrx]

DAMN THAT M3 IS FUCKING SICK!

[sleepys4]

Yea that m3 is fast and just getting faster by the day. Hopefully he gets its it retuned soon.

[Lankhoss]

Yea that m3 is fast and just getting faster by the day. Hopefully he gets its it retuned soon.

Looks to me like he has enough power, and needs to start working on his traction!

[Nyteryder]

nice runs and video/

[evilutionvii]

Nice runs....that Bimmer sounds nasty.

[collins]

it was kind of a real quick thing. he called, i said "you wanna run" he said yeah. so i called jordan and we hit the spot and that was it. it all happened in a bout an hour or so....my bad Collins its all good brotha! you all looked outta my league anyway. i need to step the goat up a little bit to run with you guys now :(

[Lankhoss]

its all good brotha! you all looked outta my league anyway. i need to step the goat up a little bit to run with you guys now :(

[Evolunchbox]

Nice runs and video!

[aer0s2k]

all those cars sounded nice, good videos

[SpooL'DGsR]

good races... rodneys m3 is only going to get faster !! good runs stone...

[Logan]

Is that Rodney guy on here? I'd like to talk to him about his setup if he is cool with that. Mine will be on the streets soon :ninja:

[sleepys4]

Yea he is on here, I'll get him to chime in soon. He is probably at work. His car is top notch, I cant wait for him to up the boost!!

Thanks to everybody for the video love!!

I need to get up to the Northside and make some videos..

Hit me up when you head up this way man, I havent been out in a while. I should be getting some tires soon, no more of that turner field shit.:doh:

[BABY J]

IN

Nice stuff.

[RJ's325ITS]

Is that Rodney guy on here? I'd like to talk to him about his setup if he is cool with that. Mine will be on the streets soon :ninja:

He is, but he is not at the same time; he is not a fan of the forums but his SN is quicksylver.

He has a custom built turbo kit:
SPA manifold & turbo.
TRM over the frame charge pipes
TRM OBD1 tuning
TRM desing ARP2000 head studs
8.5:1 CR
Walbro in-tank fuel pump
Custom 3" Race exhaust with dual tips, and an open WG (for now) built by me.

We got the car to run this good on only 10psi since the car is on a base tune, but believe me the car has never ran this good.

This is the tip of the iceberg, engine should support 25-30psi on race fuel...

We have to get the traction issue sort it out, a reliable boost controller on the car, before he even goes to mid-boost, and then get it dyno tune. So pretty much is still a work in progress.


Nice runs....that Bimmer sounds nasty.

I think it will sound better once we get the WG plumbed in to the exhaust


Looks to me like he has enough power, and needs to start working on his traction!

Word,
I told him he already crossed the fine line where street tires are not enough, and he needs DRs if he wants to use at least 70% of the potential of the set-up...


no. its a guy named rodney.

Yes, it's my friends car Rodney

PS:

awesome video

[Dirty.Bird]

Flocka

[Lurker]

RJ, PM me. I have an extra Hallman manual boost controller you can have.

[BABY J]

Stone - the torches SUCK. If you need to borrow a heater I'll hook you up. They don't heat evenly and you get "hot spots" inside the bottle. 1 sec you got good flow then a second later garbage. The "bad pockets" translate directly to the nozzle. Since you have a LSx I assume you're on a dry shot (since nitrous likes to pool in the stock intake mani on LSx based engines). I'd like to see you and the Stang again on a real heater.

[sleepys4]

RJ, PM me. I have an extra Hallman manual boost controller you can have.


I'll pay for said boost controller.. Its a MBC correct?

[RJ's325ITS]

RJ, PM me. I have an extra Hallman manual boost controller you can have.

He has already a HKS, that needs validation... I know if the HKS is bad he will go with a regular manual boost controller that will be foolproof.

But thanks for the offer,
Rafa

[Lurker]

I'll pay for said boost controller.. Its a MBC correct?

Now what would you want with a manual boost controller? :ninja:

Shoot me a PM if you come out to the northside for some races. If Stone quits making excuses and picks up his slow ass Honda, he can bring it up to the northside and get drug by a couple cars in one night. Mine included. I would prefer we do it during the day though when its warmer and traction is more friendly. Makes better video's plus I'll spin less during the day. At night when it's cooler, it's just too fuckin dangerous. I got sideways in second gear last week and it wasn't fun.

I would like to see if Hunter will bring his car out. I'd like to have a crack at him also if he has his issues worked out by then. Thats if he even plays on the street anymore. I know him and Clark went at it before, but I'm not sure if he still plays.

It might have to be one of those very private meets that only a few know about to keep the amount of cars minimal. We can go out for wings and beer afterwards if everybody likes.

You can do all the recording Jordan since you make better video's. :goodjob: Maybe next week or weekend sometime.

Shit, i'm down. We could meet up in the Buford area. I should be free later in the week. Possibly Thursday or Sunday.

[Bridged]

Awesome video and cars, as always guys. :goodjob:

[SmackedInATL]

Lurker why don't you bring your bucket of bolts to a track and get drug by Hunter in front of a crowd?

Why are you even considering uping the boost on the M3 without some suspension work and tires? That is the type of car that runs high 12s at 130mph. I tell ya you roll racers have some thought process.

i had a bottle heater on my g35...that thing sucked. it wouldnt get the bottle pressure but to about 750psi. it never got hot enough. so i just use the tourch

[bowdown201]

Rafa is that the silver one that lives close to where me and you do? If so he passes by my house all the time and I talked to him one day at QT. Cool guy.

And Jordan next time I see ya you think you can get some shots of my new car, I have absolutely none (hince the sig lol)

Part Number 82045 / Best heater I've owned in 15 years of spraying. YMMV

I get 'em for $170 shipped. And it's portable from car to car - which works for me since I have kits on multiple vehicles. You can also hot-rod the thermostats w/ $10 and a trip to Radio Shack.

Because I'm on street tires and he's on DR's.

Not everybody wants to drive over 2 hours to PAY for a few passes spinning.... Without slicks it would be worthless for me to come.

LOL Brandon, Lurker wouldn't come out anyway. I honestly believe only a handful of people in this section really even come out. The rest just put in their two cents and make claims about what their cars can do or have done, or just don't have a fast car at all.

Bitches.

[DarKStaR]

I would if it wasnt over an hour ride for me. And my car is down at the moment switching blocks.

I think I'll be back in town Thursday or possibly Sunday. I'll run you from a dig but how much money you gonna put down on it?

[Lankhoss]

So Lurker is driving that M3? I never knew that was his, thought it was someone's who wasn't on here.

I can't tell how fast it is from the video, since he yanks Stone sometimes, and sometimes stays way back. Would it be a good run with me? I can come out if you guys think it'd be a good run. And you know me, I do those high speed rolls with my gearing.

[BABY J]

What gearing do u have Lank b/c you mention that a lot - yet I see other Vettes who'll gladly dig.

[Lankhoss]

What gearing do u have Lank b/c you mention that a lot - yet I see other Vettes who'll gladly dig.

My gearing has nothing to do with why I don't like dig races.

It's a 3.42, but my gears are completely different from any other 3.42 in a GM vehicle. On top of that, my car revs 500RPM higher than any other factory car that has a 3.42, so I have a substantial difference in the speed I reach in each gear. I've tried 1st gear several times and it's just a waste, so I always go from 2nd gear. As you know, people usually like between 20 - 40mph, but my 2nd gear doesn't hit its powerband until 70mph....so I prefer something closer to that speed.

[BABY J]

Sounds like you've built a setup that only does a certain thing well, but you want every1 else to compensate for it.

How about you run their race if they run yours??? Not poking - just a thought.

[Lankhoss]

Sounds like you've built a setup that only does a certain thing well, but you want every1 else to compensate for it.

How about you run their race if they run yours??? Not poking - just a thought.

No, I haven't "built" any "setup" for my car. It's stock with bolt ons....this is how the car comes from the factory, and I am plenty happy with it.

And how can you make a comment as to what I expect of people? I have ALWAYS compromised with people, and typically do 40 - 45mph rolls, ask anyone who has actually raced me. I KNOW my car is geared way higher than anyone else's, and DO NOT expect them to do ridiculously high rolls. It's rare to run into someone who actually has a similar "sweet spot" that I do, and this M3 looks like it has massive traction issues at low speeds...that's why I said something.

But please find where I have made callouts to people telling them they have to start a race at 60+mph...I don't do it. I also usually just respectfully decline races against people with very low gears, because I know it's unfair to ask them to do a 50+mph roll when they run out of gearing at 115mph, and I know it's just pointless for me to try to race them in their powerband when I'm at 3200 RPMs to start off with.

[Lurker]

This bimmer rides out, you can come get some too Lank for $200 from a roll to whatever speed.

Relax man. I simply notice that you always want a high(er) speed roll and don't dig much so inquiring minds want to know. I wasn't talking about the 40-45 rolls I was referring moreso to digs. As I stated "not poking" so you wouldn't take it that way. ;)

So you'll run any1 else's race? To include digs??

I didn't say you made a callout to any1 - show ME where I said that you did. You answered my question long ago kid, and that answer makes sense to me.

I don't like dig races because it's hard on several components that I don't want to pay to replace, and dig races are more dangerous in my mind.

Lurker, I don't race for money so no thanks.

Well, for some reason I thought that M3 is Lurker, but I guess that's not right.

Who is he, and would we be a good run? lol

[Stol3n]

I think he is a :ninja: so watch out. Better bring Chuck Norris to film it if this goes down.

I would like to see how you'd fair against him, just sayin'. :D

[Lankhoss]

Looks like he's starting at too low of a speed in the video to get traction, so it's hard to say how fast it is. I'd be willing to go from a higher speed, as high as 65mph. If he can't get traction there, then that car is useless lol

[sleepys4]

He has full traction by 50-55 from a roll..

I think it would be good from a 50..With him on 12lbs

[Lankhoss]

Alright, I'll try to make it out one of these nights with you guys. I haven't been out in a while anyway.

[04GTOLS1]

Damn Lank, You have had me scratching my head for several seconds... lol. I have a GTO with the stock 3.46 gears in the rear and im a M6. Im like... how the hell is his sweet spot at 70mph in second?????? Then i finally realized... You must have an automatic?

[Lankhoss]

No, I have a 6 speed. I wish I could find that good gear calculator that showed each speed at every RPM in each gear, but I couldn't find it through a quick Google search.

I've got stock 3.42's, 7100 RPM red line, and 345/30/19 tires. My car goes to about 93mph in 2nd gear, and hits either 5000 or 5500 RPM's at 70mph (can't remember off the top of my head). I hit peak horsepower around 6200 - 6300 RPMs, but I start getting into my power band at around 5500 RPMs.

seriously?

c'mon man, it's a z06 for crying out loud. they ONLY come with a 6spd. :screwy:

1st gear winds out to about 62mph in those cars. whenever you pull all the way to 7100rpms you can get a few extra mph's out of each gear.

Plus the bigger wheels. When I was looking at a gear calculator, it showed as much as 3mph difference in ONE GEAR when going from a 325 to a 345.

the 325 & 345 shouldn't affect mph unless one of the sidewalls are larger.

[Lankhoss]

the 325 & 345 shouldn't affect mph unless one of the sidewalls are larger.

They are a noticeably higher sidewall, even though they're both a 30 series. But if you plug in the numbers, just changing to a 345 will change the speed in each gear.

In fact, Rob and I were laughing the other night because I ride people's asses all the time when I'm out, I even yelled at one guy for doing 5+ mph UNDER the speed limit in the left lane, then it hit me that my speedo might be off because of the tires lol

[04GTOLS1]

I understand it's a Z06.... Why do you think i kept racking my brain to figure out whats going on? lol. Ok, I didn't contribute the extra 1000 rpms you have. :D and the tires do make a difference. I read somewhere that the GTO, Z06 and the CTS-V have the same gear ratios in the tranny. I dont know if they were talking about the early C5's or the C6's though. My car goes to 68mph in 2nd gear at 6100 redline. So your car slightly higher gear(lower number) and taller tire is helping you alittle bit. :) I want a Z06. :yes:

[SmackedInATL]

Just so you know the "series" or tire height changes as a tire get wider. A 345/30 is not the same as a 325/30. I believe the way it goes the 30 is a percentage of the width of the tire. So sidewall height is 30% of tread width. Or something like that. That may be wrong(percentages part) but the principle of how the two change together is accurate.

Learn (or re-learn) something everyday!

I swear to God I've got 3/4" more sidewall on these 345s, they made a pretty big difference.

you have less than 1/4" extra of sidewall from a 325/30 to a 345/30

Not to split hairs, but I went from Goodyears to Michelins, and often times sizes will vary from manufactuer to manufactuer. It may just be the shape of the tires as well. The Goodyear was very "squared" and neat looking, whereas the Michelin is much more rounded the way the tread meets the sidewall. The tires look stretched on a Viper wheel, but then all smashed up on mine. I never measured both sidewalls, but it is a VERY noticeable difference in tire size, even looking at it from a distance.

When I swapped out the front tires, I went with the exact same size, just Michelin as opposed to Goodyear, and the sidewalls are taller on the fronts too.

YES! That is the exact one I was looking for, thanks!

Damn, even my gears are different from the C6 Z51 3.42.

Here's my graph:

[SmackedInATL]

Yes tire sizes very by brand. Nittos run small.

[Evil Goat]

brands do vary in size....they do not vary more than a couple millimeters in size though, which would be unnoticeable without measurement in comparable size tires

[Lankhoss]

Well I don't know how to find what the stock size is, but I just measured from wheel to the top of my (almost bald) tread, and it's 2.75" on the rear tires, and this is with about 7lbs lower pressure than what is recommended for the tire.

It may just be the design of these tires, because both tires are supposed to have 6/32" tread depth, but I as well as my friends found a very noticeable difference in the thickness of the tread on these tires compared to the Goodyears. Both had the same tread depth and treadwear, yet these tires have literally lasted twice as long as my first set did. And I don't do burnouts or anything, so that's not what happened to the first set.

The c5 base and c5z have different trans gear ratings (342 gear). My second runs in the ball park of 74-78mph turning it to 6600-6800 although i have had it to 7k before ( i believe my cam peaks at 6300-6400 peak tq is at 4600), dual valve springs, titanium retainers, hardened p.rods, etc... I went from the stock 295/35/18 to the nt555 305/35/18 also. Ill try and find where i saw the gearing page at.

[Whiteboy572]

Gear LS1/MM6 LS6/M12
1st Gear 2.66:1 2.97:1
2nd Gear 1.78:1 2.07:1
3rd Gear 1.30:1 1.43:1
4th Gear 1.00:1 1.00:1
5th Gear 0.74:1 0.84:1
6th Gear 0.50:1 0.56:1
Reverse 2.90:1 3.28:1

The c6z has the same trans gearing as the mm6 or c5 base but has the balls to pull those longer gears.

[BABY J]

^^ Agreed. The C6z makes pretty decent power considering it's a SOHC non-vtec.

Single Over Head Cam? :???:

Still a pushrod engine..

Agreed with Lank Single Under Head Cam is more like it :goodjob:
