I know some fairly decent roads if you want to run?
From a low speed roll will be eaiser, but if it's quiet then from a dig would be possible.
The Leighton Buzzard by-pass is very good. From Totternhoe to Dunstable. No turnings, no bridges, no houses no nothing just open black top and wide enough to go side by side.
A roll from like 20mph to xxxmph would be the easiest sort of race.
Any takers??????
BTW - what final drive ratio have you got in your Fbody? 2.73 or 3.23?
My Z28's out of the game til next year . . . and a rebuilt Gearbox.

There's more than enough room there to bang the 158mph limiter in a LS1 z/28 - so I've heard anyhow
I easily made it to 103mph in the wet in my Z28 . . . . . with 3 bald tyres . . . . and only 2nd and 4th gears going the other way.

Nearly ready now RK; just sent the converter back to Chance Converters; when we did a pre build check we ( I say we, I should actually credit Jon Webster as I completely missed it) spotted a hairline crack in the rear turbine; it had some braze in it which means it was like that during manufacture - it didn't look right so we sent it back.
The rebuilt (new) engine dynoed at a little under 670 with 648 ftlbs - thats without the 450-500 shot of gas of course (http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/cool.gif)
With the new nitrous cam; thicker Diamond pistons it'll run a mid 13 sec if 300bhp still wants to race (http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/wink.gif)

I went to the Pod on a Jaguar day a few years back. Quite a few cars turned up but there was next to no queing, you could hot lap if you wanted. Think it cost about £35 per driver.

Seriously though the perfect road for sprint testing is the A507 between Shefford and the A1 (M). It's where I hunt hot hatches of a weekend, and the road has 2 mile straights with lanes wide enough to overtake down the middle.
I wound by mates old Imprezza P1 up to 140 on it once, and took his 350Z to 130.

Yeah I drive down this road twice a day, once on the way to Cambridge and once on the way home.
Leighton Buzzard by-pass is the same sort of thing, but generally with less traffic.
The A507 is always bussy nowadays and although I haven't seen them for a few months often has mobile camera's on it.

You're right there.... On the 'maro it's called 'Fuel Cutoff Speed', and 'Fuel Resume Speed'....

I've got LS1Edit and Efi Live for a 99 fbody but both are locked to the old PCM - which I still have - if there is any software guru out there who fancies a go at unlocking it give me a call.
How do you mean by locked?? (http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/dontknow.gif)
I thought you just selected the year and it would work on any PCM (Vette/Fbody) of that year.
If you have no use for it, and it will work on my z/28 then I'd be willing to buy it off you. Guess it would be best to try it out first though.
Cheers.
