I miss Fayetteville… at least Rockingham is awesome again. This video gives me some more motivation to get my Corvette going again. Hoping for 10’s in my cam-only C5.
Thanks! I wish I would of got more runs, but once I was in the zone I even took the gopros off the car since they were bothering me. But where I had one setup it ended up not recording right with how the frame rate is.
@@andrewd843 lol. If you try to leave any harder does it push through or try to spin? See you just need to move back this way you have a lot of ppl around here you know lol
@89_boostedsupra it's been talked about with the wife for sure. Even if I just move to the other side of Fort bragg, it'll cut an hour of my drive. It seemed to launch best at 2000rpm, around 3000 it would push, under 2000 it didn't flash harder. But it didn't spin at all or try to. I did, however, find a vacuum leak. I thought I had one, but the car ran good, so I didn't give it much thought. So I'll have one more outing before I have surgery this month. Hopefully, a little better weather and no vac leak will help me out some.
@@andrewd843 for sure. I deliver to the Fayetteville area so I definitely understand the drive. I’m sure there are plenty of ppl around here to hang out with lol.
Each gear and rpm were different rpm for the first few passes. I think I was going to 7600-7700 this day. If you check out my dyno video I posted last week, I ended up revving it even higher.

10s is definitely possible. When hunting for a time it's all about the short track time.
@@andrewd843 Absolutely. A decent converter and gears should get me there!
You're filming and sharing. That's not sucking at youtube. Thank you for sharing your content. I like what you do. Keep taking us with you👍

@@andrewd843 if I lived near you I'd pit crew for you just to get experience.
Congrats dude! You're so close to hitting the 9s.
This is how it always goes. A few years ago, in my srt4, I kept running 12.1 12.0 12.0 12.0, then finally clicked off an 11.8 pass
damn, thats crazy what the tire size difference makes, great video!
Thanks! With long 2.56 gears, the shorter tire definitely helps. All about how fast you can get into that power.
Great video! Thanks for posting. Question… what is that slight stumble in the middle of second gear, converter locking?
Yeah, that's the converter lock
Congratulations on the pb!
Thanks! At first I was just like what the hell am I going to do to go from a 10.18 to 10.17.
A couple clicks on the laptop and there it was.

@@andrewd843 only thing is it’s 1/8 mile round here lol
Sounds killer man chipping away quickly! What rpm you shifting at?

@@andrewd843 I shift the G8 at 7000 lol 7600 would sound nasty
sounds good
Thanks!
Race car have lockups!!!
So does every gm since the ls was invented lol
Guess every auto gm makes is a racecar.
What type of mud guards are on the car? Front and back. Thanks
They're the OEM GM base splash guards GM (19170234)
@@andrewd843 thanks bud 👍
@@michaelblackburn4952 anytime!
Curious, do you lock the converter just after the 1-2 shift?
Top of 2nd on some of these runs. Still haven't messed around enough to find what's best.
Ok cool! I heard it change pitch in many of your runs and thought I’d ask!
Very cool hot rod for sure!!
Yes sir! thank you for checking it out!
