How do you like the quik release fasteners? I was thinking about getting some for my bumper
couldnt tell you havent actually gotten use them yet. was suppose to go down for the race this weekend but since we didnt get to tune in time i didnt head down(also didnt get your tire picture clearance pic yeT either)
no doubt one of the craziest vette builds in the country right now. Going to be awesome to see this car give those vipers a run for their money on faster 1/2 mile rwd car out there. care to share what you are shooting for in 1/2 mile or what you geared this monster for?

gearing and rpm and tire should be in the 260s, so what ever we can hook and put down
bumping, did some preliminary testing. made 1500 wheel on 20#'s of boost and hardly any timing.
made a couple shake down passes at shift sector in February. got some good info back on the chasis aero and motor set up.
As for the aero we have to seal off the front as its making the engine bay a high pressure zone and blew out the under belly on the car.
chasis felt good on the penskee suspension, just need some more passes to dial it in.
The converter was a little tighter than we expected and is a dog out of the hole. To remedy this we set up a trans dump so we can get the rpm up some more on the T brake. Also added a little nitrous, going to hit it with a 150-200 out of the hole to light things off.
all and all it is looking very promising.
first couple passes i made were both 199 mph out there, this was just with basic stuff on the car to get it running. no traction control, no boost by gear, none of the fancy stuff. these passes were with 40-70% throttle as we were blowing the tires off the whole pass while dialing in the chasis. with the same power setting and some more chasis tuning and setting up the TC in the M1 motec i think we will be able to see 210-215 on 20#'s no problem. Very pleased with how it did the first time out.
perhaps the sickest corvette I've ever seen. was bummed I couldn't make SS in feb to see it run. 215 seems conservative to me but the passes at SS seem to be lower mph than other 1/2 mile events for whatever reasons.

215 on same boost levels not turned up. will def go faster once dialed in but will take some more ponies to get there
My man, I have been following this thing since the beginning. What you have put together is nothing short of spectacular... I can't wait to see it near it's full capabilities. Top notch ****, worldwide. Definitely something to hang your hat on going on in here!!
