Are you running water meth injection on 17lbs?

it wouldnt take much to make that race very one sided... a converter to get you into boost quicker, a little more boost...

not too shabby though. How big is your turbo? Your boost controller doesn't do a good job of limiting boost to 7psi on the shifts?

The flames coming from that c6 on the shift are so bad ***

All else stock. Converter, clutch fan, etc...
Great run! All you need is converter and lots of traction!!! The night my 07 ran 7.64 @ 5100 lb race weight. a C6 ZO6 ran a 7.87. I was @ 8.5 lbs with a red headed step child STS. A converter will make it a different animal!

Running a 69mm turbo. I'm getting about a 3psi spike during shifts. Running a 60mm gate with a ball and spring type MBC.

I see its general consensus to do a stall converter next. Think it will be a night and day difference?

Talked to the vette owner today. The car trapped 87mph in the 1/8th. Anyone think I'm lacking in my mph?

At that MPH I would guess the vette runs mid 12's

That vette is probably running a WOT box that allows him to no-lift shift. Makes a manual car very consistent. Get that boost spike figured out and crank that boost up.
