Vortech SC finally installed
Well, it is a darn tight fit, but it is in. SnapOn boost gauge at rear of intake indicates I'm only making 6lbs of boost, but I still gained about 120Hp at the wheels. I'm guessing that at the throttle body it is probably 1lb higher.
465.6RWHP & 440.9RWTQ
I'll post the updated dyno sheet later and try to get a few pics up by the end of next week. Next Mon/Tue the McLeod Twin Street Clutch and 4.10's go in, so I'm sure it will feel a lot different.
I was very surprised how quick I nailed 140Mph with 480+ lbs of passenger weight. Big Jeff and myself just about break the scales together. :lol:
Boost is very sweet :D
:cheers:

Kewl, so you are coming down tommorw? You are little Jeff right? I believe I saw your picture yesterday from Jeff's 40th B-day at the Outer banks.
Yeah, I would like to see your install and dyno numbers. Jeff was saying we were pretty much the same for mods except you have a Z06.
Sweet.

Congrats!! :thumbs:
Boost is fun isn't it? I'm not sure about using the 4:10 rear end with the blower though. First and second are gonna last about one second. I put a 3:73 in mine based on Phil at Dynotech's recommendation. It took me a while to get used to how quick the car revved with the 3:73, I can't imagine it with a 4:10. :eek:
Good luck and have fun!! :hurray:

Re: Vortech SC finally installed (vettewreck)
Hey Robbie
I'm not sure about hitting FayNam Sunday. Honey do list keeps growing and I've got to get 500 miles on the new rear end before letting it rip. I went on Feb 22nd, but I believe you were at the Car Show at the Fairgrounds.
I'm hoping to eventually hook up there. The dragstrip is something that I suspect I will only do 2-3 a year. Just enough to keep me young at heart. :lol:
