Finally took the new Corvette to the track. Pulled off a 11.505 with a 1.858 60ft and a 134 mph trap speed. Transmission kept getting stuck in between 2nd and 3rd for at least a full second each pass. Sometimes even longer. Pretty disappointed cause I know the car could of had a 10 second pass on street tires. Unfortunately the tranny tapped out on a 11.7 run. So looks like I need a good transmission builder. These runs were on non drag radial nitto invo street tires and heavy 20" wheels.

Not sure. It'll only go in 3rd gear.

I called rpm and they will not build the 6l80 transmission. Which is what I have. Looking into century or circle d for their 1000hp kits.
