Mild updates.
will be changing, and selling this bracket soon
Modified master cylinder..
this shroud has since been modified. This was a dewitts radiator, with a stock fan, at a stock height...I lowered, and moved the cradle forward(still have to weld) and also Josh modified the shroud. Looks better but,..before..
pulling interior...
w/mock valve covers...
I ,..we, have lots left. Every part, has to be custom fit. All panels, still have to be removed, and drilled,..as they are JUST blanks,..with no provisions. So,..yippie lol.
Fun times,..getting there.

Yeah, couple of reasons.
The bower bracket will change, probably get lower, which should present more of a proximity problem with the fan,..so, we massaged the fan shroud...which looks way different now. I also have the radiator sitting in a location that it is not currently at..so...the radiator sits lower then this pic allows to see.
Also,..we moved it forward,..and it will be about another inch lower.
More worried about making a coolant hose work for the ebcm area,...as THAT,...is close.
ECS bracket should be here by the weekend...hopefully, I can have the blower side of things done by the weekend.
I have a velocity stack for the race setup, and I am working on a filter design for it.... I want to run that all the time but,..I think I will have a 45 degree pipe with filter as a worse case scenario for the filter.
Too soon to tell but,...the plan is yessir.

just a bit of info since i saw you saw 3.4" blower pully
if you have the inovators west 8" pully with that 3.4" @7k rpm you will be spinning the blower to near 89K rpm.. which is WAY over the rated 72K rpm suggested max.
If you have stock 7.2" pully 7k is 80K rpm.
IMO you are WAY over spinning the blower.
also.. IMO you are going to need bigger injectors too for that pully combo.

Nice build, Should make some great power. Looking forward to the results.
What about using dual Spal fan setup with that radiator. It will give you a little more room to work around. I used that radiator with the dual fan and lowered my cradle and mounting points on the cradle. It was a little tight on the upper hose, But it fit without too many problems. If I was starting over, I would upgrade the 4 rib to the 6 rib on the A/C Jackshaft setup.

Thanks player. It's been a long road, not a lot of free time,..the free time I do have,..goes to cars, usually other peoples. Almost there bro...almost....starting to feel good about it.
Yea a copied and pasted the parts list from his post,..I have a few pully's to play with,..I believe that is the smallest one(that I listed/you mentioned), the one we are going with, is larger. I don't know the size off the top of my noggin but, I will post it up asap,..which will probably be after this weekend, since I have have to drive almost 2 hours north to work on this thing.
The injectors,..I agree.
long story short...this build started small...he bought-
D1, rpm C6 trans and diff, rated to 800rwhp, 8 rib pulley(innovators) and I spec'd out his motor with texas for about 1100hp or so.....
...then,..power numbers came up...goals came up,..the realization came up that, the setup may not meet the goals...
so,..and F1X was had, 10 rib..then a TR6060, then a 2012 Z06 diff,...etc.....so yes, the injectors where spec'd out for a lesser build,...which is why the build/parts list has changed so many times.
now, I have a BUNCH of new, unable to use parts to get rid of. So, the puzzle, has been changed many times...hoping for the best.
Definitely not a blower guru so any insight, like yours, always appreciated. Thanks for the heads up.
Thanks, We have 6 bolt heads, on a 4 bolt block. Hoping for the best.
Trying our best.
Good info. Is the SPAL fan setup a "kit" for these cars, or is it a random set of fans that I need to build a mounting location/cage for? Guessing more of a kit.
I THINK the setup we have is a 4 rib...I think.
Thanks everyone for they're insight/comments, much appreciated.

Ragin Racing sells the Spal dual fans with brackets for use on a stock radiator. Dewitt's sells the same fans with brackets meant for a Dewitt's radiator. If you are going custom radiator, you would be better off just buying the fans for $230 and making your own brackets.

Is the fan setup shorter?
I'll have to look into it.

Finally...after all the mishaps...all the issues...this thing is finally on the tarmac.
Not operating yet but...close. Felt good to sit in it actually...and roll down the street. More updates to come in the weeks to follow. For more current, and up to date pics/build progress on this C6 and other GM rockets, follow

I still need to figure out which map to use on this 2005 ...I use an older style 3 bar on my 2000....what are you gurus using on your C6's?
Hoping to be close to startup soon...just trying to get some small stuff done first...

I use a DPE 2.5 bar. I believe Dave Steck has his own plug and play units for the 05-06 cars.

Thank you. It has been a long road, still a few bumps I am sure but we'll get there.
