Evil_C5 rolling again....
Brian came to us about a week ago and wanted to install a full exhaust, Converter and gears. So we picked up his car @ a local corvette drag day and started work. We swapped out the factory exhaust for a set of Kooks Long tubes, center section and retained his corsa rear mufflers. For transmission, we switched out his 2.73 to 3.42s and stock converter to a Yank 3600. While we were in there we changed all the fluids and did some custom tuning and needless to say the car run soo much stronger. Hopefully he will see about 7 tenths reduction @ the track with the new mods!
