Another drag strip rental - took the '06 coupe out this time.

[Nine Ball]

Weather was in the mid-low 60s today, nice day for a private drag strip rental here in Houston. I ran a new best ET and mph today. I was mostly there to practice launching the car, and the seat time paid off. Here are all my slips.

2006 Viper coupe
TR6060 transmission w/ BBG dual-disk clutch
Forged rods/pistons, custom camshaft, stock heads and intake
Paxton Novi2000 supercharger

Great job as always Tony! Crazy how consistent it is given the power level.

[Nine Ball]

Andy, it just requires a consistent driver

A lot of higher hp cars out there today, running mid-10s. Just takes seat time, as you know.

[FLATOUT]

Yep

[Newport Viper]

That's awesome!

[Back In Black]

Sweet.

[Bill Pemberton]

Damn..............as cold as it is up here I don't know if I could get out of my garage in 9 seconds!! Impressive time and solid trap speed!!

[slowhatch]

Very solid passes! What were you launching at? Tire(dr) psi? Any reason you didn't decide to work the heads while you were in there during the build?

[99RT10]

Great driving. I wish I was closer, would love to get to the track. Well done.

[moparnav]

Slipping the clutch around 5000 rpm off the line. 345/35-18 Mickey Thompson drag radials at 18 psi cold (20-21 hot)

I may do Greg G's heads next, I bought some spare cores to have ported. Just never got around to it. May pull the engine out this Summer and have it freshened up, it has been over a year now.

Here is the in-car video of the pass.

How many miles and/or how much use in the past year to make you feel it needs to be freshened up??

[Nine Ball]

Maybe 2000 miles on it. But, I've ran at these events and have done a lot of WOT runs.

3x Texas Invitational (another coming up)
Texas Mile
TX2K12
TX2K13
two drag strip rentals
a lot of Mexico runs

Probably a good idea to inspect the bearings, rings, valvespring pressures, and cylinder bores. I can pull an engine out in about 4 hours by myself.

Let me know when you pull the motor, I want to LEARNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN.

[Nine Ball]

Easier than an f-body, Andy. No kidding. I can get a trans out in 1 hr now. That is the hard part. I remove the side-sills to take my Belanger headers loose at the collectors, so I can remove the headers and get them out of the way. Just a little time consuming there. The rest is easy.

[Nine Ball]

Cool photo someone took at the event.

Good stuff NB.
With your current setup what is the advantage form a ported head? And what is the expected hp gain ?

I actually purchased an extra set of heads, to get them ported by Greg G. I'd figure 80-90 hp, but there simply aren't enough similar combos out there for me to see any real data. Whenever I pull the engine to refreshen it later, it will have the heads swapped out.

Ahh,............... I ran in the 7's with my Viper......................... but that was in the 1/64 mile !!

Beautiful car, 154 is moving.
