Default Project Finally Done!!!

Finally finished the project after the fiasco i encountered after purchasing my 05 vette. Slowhawk performance performed all the work and i could not be happier with the quality of work. Highly recommended to anyone looking for work done on their lsx vehicles.

Current list of modifications done during project:

RPM Level 5 transmission with upgraded 30 spline

RPM level 4 Z06 differential with 3:42 gears

McCleod RXT clutch

LS1 steel flywheel

MGW Short throw shifter with lower gear box



Also had the vehicle dynoed and was very impressed with the power it put down. Ended up with 458 rwhp and 426 ft/lb of torque. Originally thought i just had a cam, header, exhaust tune in the motor but obviously has to have some head work to put that down NA. Overall the car shifts significantly smoother and couldnt be happier with results. I am setting up vette for blower system over the winter and wanted a good platform after the tranny issues i experienced.

Congratulations !

Modded vettes in the 450 to 470 rwhp range are extremely fun and streetable

Slowhawk did all the work on my GS as well. Stage II cam, springs, headers. Enjoy !
