Very inpressive times , but we need to know what else was done to your car. The Renegrade will not run 12s with stock internals parts.I would think head and cam work were also needed. I was told the Xram would give the CF a second quicker time but I never ran my car at a track whch has this set up. If the Renegrade is better than the Xram which I am told it is a STOCK CF engine with the Renegrade it should be in the low 14s I would think.

I should have next weekend. I dyno'd my car yesterday (158 hp and 239 ft/lbs tq) and will dyno it again afterwards. I'll also get some performance numbers pre and post installation. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c4-g...-complete.html

I kinda doubt that the X-ram would be better by a second, but I don't have an X-ram to test with.

The big thing with the Renegade is that it removes the barrier of the original intake so that you can do other mods. Me, I'm really looking forward to getting the stock LT-1 hydraulic roller cam conversion done. I don't want/expect my car to be a rocket, just respectable.
