Hey guys. I'm doing another build on my C5Z and I need ideas for the under hood look. Show me your sheet metal intakes and custom fab work. I'll start it off with my last setup. Gonna be a F2 this time.
Yes it is! I'll be doing a build thread soon. Bret has been doing a great job so far. We are gonna have some fun with this build. COG F2 should keep things interesting.

figured lol... I was over there yesterday and saw it, that's going to be a freaking beast when it's done!... I got to ride in his car with an f2 before he tore it apart and it was insane
430 LSX with F1X and flip drive. A lot of custom work by Tick Performance. All fits under stock hood. 5 inch intake, charge pipes all 4 inch including openings on cooler. Well over 1000 RWHP on 93 gas.

F1X ERL 427
Out of curiosity, why are you going to the F2 from the F1X?
I am going F2 for a harder hitting midrange. The F1X comes on later in the powerband. I want this one to hit hard earlier.
I was making right at 1000whp with very conservative pulley setup. 4.5" up top and a stock balancer. I'm going F2 COG this time. I will start off slow and then work my way up to huge power numbers.

Makes sense!
Just remember it takes a lot more power to run an F2... No doubt it will come on like gangbusters tho... I don't see how you'll possibly hook it from a 60-70 roll.
What you gonna do with the F1X?
You probably could have put a 4.00" pulley on the blower and restricted it to make more midrange...
Bret knows how to set those F2s up tho... He made like almost 1300 with one.
