Few videos from this weekend at the drag strip. Suspension changes fixed the traction issues I had last year. I was able to pull all the launch retard out of the tune and still get it to stick. Next step will be to reduce the boost ramp from 1.25 seconds back down to about 0.5 seconds like I used to run. If I can get a 1.42 60’ again or better it is easy 9 second run, even with the extra weight the 4T80 added. Best run on stock computer, 4t65 and 6262 turbo was 10.007&138mph. Approximately 200lbs heavier now and only running 1.549 60’, getting a 10.047@138mph is very encouraging. The new PSR 6466 turbo seems to be helping as well as I only ran a 10.20@135 in 20degree cooler air last fall with the Precision 6262.


27lbs with a few issues:

Just watched your videos.
I would love to be able to get into the 10s!
Your car is really impressive!

What size tyres are you using at the rear? They seem kind of "fat" and they fill out the wheel well / fender housing perfectly.

255/50R16 on GTP 16x8 wheels.

Dennis, I’m assuming you meant 4T65, and yes at the weight I was with the 4T65, it likely would have ran a 9, but only with a $$$ built 4t65 would it be possible reliably.

This is a stock 4T80 that I have had in the car over a year that cost 1/4 or less than my old GMRacing equipped 4T65(1” chain, aermet 100 input shaft, Z pak 3rd, etc,etc). I broke both styles of zzp input shafts and multiple 7/8” chains in less than a year with the turbo before getting the GM racing stuff. 4T80 is heavy, but so far has put up with everything I’ve thrown at it, the 4t65 didn’t even survive a month of street driving/tuning before breaking first input shaft and stretching first 7/8” chain in 2012.
