Default Widebody Blown LS3 C5 build update

Hey what up guys. Havent posted here in a long while so I thought I'd share some of the progress Ive done with the car and my build sheet. The car is a jack of all trades but its main purpose is to carve the hell out of canyon roads and that it does very well. Its a 9sec car with only the addition of drag radials. It went 170mph in the standing 1/2mi with 700rwhp so idk what itll do now at 850rwhp.

Powerplant:
LS3 6.2L
Vortech Ysi fom A&A with their direct drive kit
18psi on E85, 850rwhp
Stock intake
Stock heads
TSP 231 LS3 cam
BTR valve springs
Wiseco pistons
Scat rods
Stock crank

Drivetrain:
Built 4L65E, huge Tru-Cool trans cooler
Circle D triple disk converter
Solid and poly torque tube couplers from LG
C5Z 3.42 diff

Suspension:
Stance Suspension SS coilovers, custom Swift spring specs
Hotchkis C6Z06 sway bars
C6Z06 brakes w/Hawk DTC-70/60 pads
Toyo R888 tires
TSW Nurburgring wheels

Body:
Corvette Creationz flared carbon fiber rear fenders, carbon fiber sideskirts, carbon fiber lip.
Modified front bumper for airflow
TrackSpec T1 hood vents (they were needed to aid cooling at 850rwhp)
RK Sport rear bumper fascia

Safety:
Wolfe Racecraft 6pt roll bar
Kirkey aluminum seat

Awesome machine! Nice job configuring and building - these are not easy projects to get right. Bet it's a blast to drive!

Those toyo r888's hold that power? Nice ride and setup. Love how tame YSi cars are until you stab the gas

Looks like you hang with ricers. I'll bet they only see tail lights fading in the distance.

Might be the nicest c5 I've ever seen, I love your c5! Tastefully modded in every facet. What hood are you running?

In the corners they're great but in a straight line at wot no way. I just blow them off. I need drag radials for the drag strip.

Very Nice.

That photo taken on the side of the street with other cars in the background-is that before letting Matt Farah drive it for his youtube channel? The backdrop looks familiar.
