Newbie here...Name is Bob...I own a 1985 Z51 4+3 tranny'd coupe. Medium Gray Metallic in color. Car has old school AR 17x9.5's and 17x11's on it with 275/40 & 315/35 BFG Comp TA's. High flow cat, muffler eliminators, tb bypass, descreened maf, underdrive crank pulley, airfoil, and bumped iignition timing...I have a ported plenum and mildly ported Edelbrock base for it as well...as soon as the AS&M Big Tube runners show up.
Figured I might as well post a few pics... and here's one from when I first bought it...6/23/06 |

Welcome to C4guru!! Beautiful Vette I love the effect of the new rims and tires. Nothing like a set of 315's on the rear :D

Thanks. I agree 100%. I added the rims/tires and the window tint two weeks after I bought the car and it immediately changed the whole car's "attitude"...

Welcome Bob. Great looking car. I migrated down to Florida 6 years ago from Howard County, Md. Was a long standing member of the FreeState Corvette Club. Having a blast now with plenty of time to spend on the cars, traveling and doing whatever comes to mind.

The 85 Vette's been gone since June 2007...Sold it and bought something a little more high tech, a lot faster, and that doesn't require the Vette Tax. Bought it bone stock, swapped in a cam, a high stall torque converter, and some longtubes and run an 11 first time to track, with a best of 11.67@115. my 85 Vette is still around, but now sports stripes down the hood and decklid, and a woodgrain interior kit... Here is when I still owned it... Bye guys... |

1.64 was the normal and very repeatable, but I raised launch rpm just another 200 rpm's and got a 1.61, followed by a 1.58. That was also through stock catback, which has since been replaced by a much higher flowing setup.
That is on 275/50/15's, on a 10" wide rim. Zero weight reduction, and 100% stock factory suspension, nothing removed or modified suspension wise. Here's a couple vids: New exhaust (with "baby" 226 cam): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTk-3nvQUcw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lh6eEhyWRWk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67bF7AubHnU 11.80 track video of me whooping a modded 03 Cobra... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSN3ZDCLmx0 |

Very cool, what tire pressures do you run? I couldn't get consistent launches until I dropped down to 13 psi. It did better at 16psi, but was hit and miss. That was on a poorly prepped track though.

Mine seems to love 20psi.
Any less and it wants to spin. 20 is fine with me though. If I forget to pump them up for the drive back home, they are still plenty driveable at 20psi. I pump the front skinnies up to 44psi and leave them there all the time. FWIW, I run at Cecil County Dragway...one of the best hooking sea level tracks on the East Coast. That surely helps. |
