It's cyber gray. We ran the car but suffered a seal failure on the front 3 piece wheel at 174mph so the run had to be aborted. No further runs were made. A set of one piece wheels will be installed for the next 1/2 mile event.

E85 RESULTS!!
One of the key benefits of going to the Pro-EFI management system was their excellent E85 flex fuel system that is integrated into the kit.
If you recall earlier in the thread, the car made 1,098rwhp on pump 93 fuel and no methanol. The customer drove the car like this for several weeks, including running the GA WannaGOFAST 1/2 mile event at 185mph, and then decided to turn up the wick a bit more. We added an AlkyControl dual nozzle methanol system with hard-lined nozzles, as well as tuned for E85. We still have yet to use the methanol in the vehicle as IAT's were very good for our dyno sessions with our custom air-to-water intercooler system.
After filling the car up with pump E85 fuel, we hit the dyno and began the tuning process. Unfortunately it was roughly 20* on the dyno, and the drag radials were having a difficult time getting traction on the dyno rollers. We had a 250lb gentleman in the back of the car to try and keep the tires from spinning, but we still couldn't completely defeat the issue.
The end result: 1,419rwhp / 1,321rwtq
That is an increase of 321RWHP just from using E85 fuel!!!
Once we were done on the dyno, we couldn't miss the opportunity to throw on the customer's street wheels and head out for a small photo shoot. A vehicle of this caliber should always look as good as it performs, and this one definitely does that!
Stay tuned for results in May as we take the car back to the WannaGOFAST Georgia 1/2 mile, and hope to add a third Corvette to our list of 200+mph 1/2 mile vehicles

Yep, an older thread but one that continues to deliver. Every time I drive this car it amazes me. I could literally use this as my daily driver. Vengeance Racing know what they're doing. It's currently getting a once over for the September 1/2 mile race, nothing new, just a pre-check to make sure every thing is ready for a 200mph run in an ordinary, every day driver.

digging that pro efi and flex fuel. it's a bit out of my budget so I went with the haltech and am interested in the drive by wire, traction control, and boost by speed.
the increases on E85 sure make the juice worth the squeeze!
it's a bit hard to get good quality E85 but considering the flex fuel sensor it should be able to compensate a bit at least when not tuned on the edge.
beautiful work, and thanks for sharing all the details of the build and results. quite a calling card!!
