Default Red got picked on tonight! F1 stroker Vette

Brought red out of storage today, first time she's been started in 5 months from the winter, been running about 1 hour at this point lol. Running 15-16psi/14 degree timing on 20"s. Clean *** z06 383 f1, race gas & meth, mt et's on ccw's.... Let's just say we have a rematch planned soon. Props to the fast Vette tonight, red got smacked, not to proud to share.. That said, proud enough to Get this corrected with 10 more psi on the Bogarts. =)

Same one, turn down a good bit. He said it made 7xx somethin, was closer to 800. That said it really should be a 14x trap car so tonight results seems about right. Red needs a fresh set of plugs, running shoes, and 3-4 full turns on the fun controller.

I have the new SS 295-65-15 on mine with a 10" wheel and i honestly cant see any difference than the old style tread in performance in this size. Id think you will be fine with them.

What happens when you don't drive anything with pep for 6 Months? Everything feels fast.. Red had a few boxer motor sounds lately going to work and breaking up some under boost, figured tune was just a little off.. Well while she was boxering tonight I started pulling plugs to troubleshoot. You even arc bruh? Was hooking in second above 60 on 7 candles.. Now she's back to inhailing the tires in 3rd starting at 100 on all 8 candles... "Someone found their top end" -Adam Sander voice. =) coming for y'all Mr 383 Z.. Now time to try a set of those 315 pro radials by Mr Mickey.
