Default the ups and downs of high performance.

Got a call from Manny and went over to Dasilva Motorsports this afternoon. Car was on the Dyno but making only about 500 HP. Talked with the knowledgable staff there and found that I may have a ring problem in my 01 (that where notorious for such things). Talked with Arun (who is an encyclopedia of knowledge on most things Corvette) I got to see my baby run on the Dyno--I was a little disappointed with the results---but Hey--its cars man!! So when I am gone to BC in June--car goes back to Dasilva to get the rings and bottom end bearings done. Arun will not even tune in the Meth till we fix the ring problem. Staff where all up front--great guys to explain everything-----stay tuned--this story is far from over!!! Most important--the staff made sure I can keep my promise to my daughter on her birthday to attend the GTG this Saturday!!!! Awesome!!!!!

Hey its a 14 year old car---no probs--but I still love it like the day I picked it up---so once the Dasilva crew massages it a little--it will be brand new!!! Install looks super---and it still sounds awesome!!!!

I was there with Arun--pretty flat HP line--pretty low boost as he knew he had a compression problem as they did do a leak down test. Up to Arun and Manny if they want to post. These motors where notorious for ring problems in 00 & 01. Better to inform the customer than have him go out and handgernade the motor!! So now we are off on a new adventure.

A bit of a bummer, *****.

Tis true!

Nice clean install!!

Everything all tucked in looks like a factory option!!

Control module neatly tucked in.

Love the boost and fuel mixture pillar gauges

Windsheild Washer tank is converted to Meth reserve---

The boys at Dasilva thought of everything--knowing I drive the car quite a bit--they installed the washer in the truck compartment!!
