I caught the water in my tank on pump return and calculated gpm that way. Increasing flow is the same as increasing surface area and a whole lot cheaper than redoing the whole brick setup. Think of your car radiator efficiency while sitting still vs flow of air as you move down the highway and how well it cools then.

I can't wait to see it run. I'm getting the bug for another C6 build. Definitely won't be anything as brutally wicked as my last Vengeance car but maybe a full bolt on ZR-1 on E-85.....

Still remember my wife freaking out when she heard a Corvette went up in flames at that race. I was maybe 8 cars back in line. Glad it's back and ready to run.

Ron and his guys at Vengeance Racing truly are top notch. All of the customers refer to each other as a big “VR family” because from the moment you walk through the shops doors or talk to them on the phone you know you aren’t just another paycheck to them, but someone they want to become a lifelong member of a great group to be a part of and to share great moments with at any event or gathering. I cannot thank Ron and his staff enough for the attention to detail on my build and the care/dedication they put into ensuring I will have one of the baddest ZR1’s on the planet. I have dealt with a lot of shops in my time and I have never experienced the level of professionalism/talent/pride that Vengeance Racing offers. These guys have a customer for life.

Been driving the car any chance the weather agrees with it and man oh man I can not wipe the smile off my face. The car on blower only feels faster than when it was on a 200 shot before. It just pulls all the way to 7000 rpm ferociously whereas before it would plateau and slightly fall on its face. It's hilarious to just leave it in 6th gear on the highway and drop the hammer and go around anything with some serious scoot scoot.

You got a lot out of that car for how much it was driven. I actually found a video of you racing Brian's CTS-V at Silverdollar from 2012.
