Damn it son .! That's some fantastic driving. Guessing around 650 to the wheel? Wow! Very nice. Congratulations on building and driving such a NA beast
@@hardwick_performance it takes time! I know I wouldn't be close to that right now if I was given that kind of car! Nothing teaches better than seat time
Bad ass car and you’re a helluva driver. Got my c6z going back together rn with a similar hci combo, if I can do anything remotely close to what you’re doing I’ll be stoked.
Price of boost Vs price of HCI is roughly the same except you can run low 9s in a boosted gen2 or Gen 3 coyote mustang with a basic drag setup. With proper gears, axles and 10 speed there are absolutely a dime a dozen 8 second coyotes.
On these passes I’d estimate just under 3k lbs without driver. Nothing major removed it still had AC and factory interior. Lithium battery and two piece(factory style) front rotors saved some. Front sway bar removed for weight and better weight transfer. Wheels/tires, catless headers, and some of the other typical mods also drop a good amount of weight. I also make sure I don’t have too much fuel, no floor mats/full glove box and things like that. Washer fluid is typically empty. There’s a lot of little stuff that adds up. I’m around 160lbs.
Very nice brother I’m on the same boat I’ve ran 10.3 with 1.7 60ft and trapped 142.. next step would be 2 step/ launch control to get it outta the hole and I’ll be there in the 9s
That 60’ and you’re there. You should be able to knock it out with the right tire, pressure, and burnout routine then slip the clutch enough to not hit it hard but also not let it bog. If you want to make it easy get Kelltrac coilovers. My launches were 5,500 with a little clutch slip on the release. Not much just enough to not knock them loose
Are you still on the stock fuel pump? I’m doing a Frankenstein F710MB 13.2:1 compression build. I have 750cc injectors and a fast 102 ported mani and a 102 on meth. Wondering if my pump would max out
@@HCIZ06 I never tried flex fuel. Mine was always on 93 octane from Circle K. At the track we used VP madditive octanium unleaded which you can get at AutoZone to make sure it wouldn’t have any knock but it ran on the street on the same tune without it.
@@hardwick_performance. Got you. I’m running meth just as an octane booster since I’m gonna be running pump on 13.2:1 compression. I’m already $15,000 in. I Can wait for the flex fuel and pump😂
@@HCIZ06 I think I was around $25,000-28,000 in parts for mine. Did all the work myself except for tuning but the cost of lightweight rotors, battery, wheels, transmission parts, clutch and hydraulics, electronics like WB and 2 step, the engine parts even for a SBE build, and then the Kelltrac coilovers which I never got to use at the track but they did drop .5 on the street with only 3 attempts all being faster than my previous best before doing them. It adds up quick. I sold it this spring at a huge loss to buy my house but now I’m $60k into the S10 Blazer I just started posting. Hopefully it’s faster I don’t like it more but I’ve owned it since I was 15 so I’m attached to it.
@@jaimegutierrez3815 two step was at 5,500. I come off the clutch fairly quick but I’m not dumping it. Slow enough to be a softer initial hit on the tires and not bog but hard enough to keep the weight transferred.
I’m putting together the parts for the same build, I have the Ported MSD ( by IronMask ) NW 103 ,60lbs fuel injectors , Monster LT1S triple clutch, I’ll put it all on when I get the remaining stage 3 parts. Question what trunnions do you use on your stock rockers? I changed my oil yesterday and had 3 needle bearings on my oil plug sucks car just has 6600 miles on it but Im glad it happened now then later … thanks 🤙
@@derekperkins4141 no I haven’t used them. The only thing I know to 100% avoid after building this car is the MGW shifter. It’s not good for quick shifts. It’ll cost you your synchros
@@hardwick_performance good info on the MGW thanks , I heard that before I was looking into the Tick shifter but it’s going to take a ton of research to pull me away from stock shifter because I like it lol
I don’t remember what he runs but weren’t terribly far off. His reaction and 60’ time is a lot better though. Especially on a qualifying pass where I’m not worrying about reaction.
That’s definitely the truth. I’ve had some other rides I modded more. I tried to do better when I got the Vette, but most of the stuff is cosmetic to make it look like I wanted it to. But it does have a few minor goodies…. Shifter, headers, exhaust, and tune.
@@ColeJ34 they’re a fun car regardless. I sold this one to buy our new house and finished my blazer but I’d like to grab another to daily at some point.
The mods listed at the beginning of the video along with dropping some weight. I didn’t lose any comforts just swapped parts for lighter parts mostly and was around 3,100 with driver. Also carbon synchros and billet shift forks when I rebuilt the trans. Lots of driving and tuning to find it’s way from high 10’s to high 9’s.
The red one? A Coyote engine that is the standard for NMRA coyote stock class. It doesn’t mph what I can but he’s almost perfect on the tree and it can 60’ very well. They have that thing dialed.
5,500 off the two step and as I release the two step button I’d also have to do a gradual clutch release rather than snapping it. Took some figuring out and coordination to fight that line between spinning, bogging, and burning the clutch.
@@hardwick_performance I've been looking at the Hoosier 17's for mine. Did you ultimately choose the 315 vs 335 Hoosier, for the added rear gear with the smaller tire?
@@jamesbyrd9514 for sure I’m almost $70k deep into it over 2 seasons. With the new suspension it should be the fastest manual stage 4 car and I didn’t strip anything out to get there or do anything drag specific beyond the new shocks.
The only thing that kept me from a C6 Z or even the 2015 Z28 LS7 was the LS7 poor reliability, weak titanium rods/valves, guys destroying a totaly stock engine with under 7k miles, and then GM finally concedes theres issues in 2011 I think. Worst part is guys doing H/C and still blow'g C6 Z's. I always wanted one.
Mine had somewhere in the 44k range when I sold it. I think I did the heads at 38k. I plan on doing another 427 in my camaro but it will be a resleeve block capable of more.
Once competition started I didn’t mess with the dragy. Too much to concentrate on and cut a good light with data logging on top of that and starting a GoPro.
@@hardwick_performance gotcha but assuming you think you’re in the 5s. Just purchased a 2011 c6 z07 with rpm stage 3 setup and haven’t tested it on the street yet. Really want to get her in the 5s so I might go stage 4 later this year
@@hardwick_performance for my msd I’m getting ironmask ported msd short runner, should rev out to 7.3-7.5k. Currently my tire is big 305/45/18 29” I think I can hit 130 in 4th around 7.3k
@@SL0Z07 I have to use 4th for 130. Then 4th goes to 160. Idk if a short runner would help me or if the cam would still limit it to a 6800-7k peak power
My next 427 will have the sleeves and pistons to take nitrous but not this one. Next one won’t be in a corvette though I have another platform for that.
The number of NA C6 Z's that Ive at the track are incredible. Ive seen a local guy (who I know), run an extreme heads/cam but an incredibly massive Co2 assisted nitrous and he could barely break 9's. This is bullshit at its finest
It took a few attempts before I saw 9’s. One day my final pass was 10.000 which is the most upsetting way to run a fast time missing your goal by .001. The 60’ is everything along with the trans rebuild I did making it a lot easier to not screw up a shift after a good launch.
That side by side pass with the 4th gen was legit
Some clean runs ya got there bud. The Z sounds and runs like a beast!!!!! Very nicely done and congratulations on the 9's.
Thanks

How is the car N/A if it’s a z06? I thought they had superchargers?
That’s the ZR1 that came supercharged
Whats the rev limiter set to on the stage 4 cars?
Mines at 7,500. I shift at 7,300
Them 4th gen Camaro 408 was putting up a fight .
Yes it was. That was my favorite race this year. He ended up winning the series in points.
He shifted too early going into 4th but that was an awesome race overall! Nice Vette bro 💪🏾💯
