Whats funny is it seems like these motors last longer with nitrous at the same power level as a 5-6psi blower ls7 makes, yet it cracks sleeves with the blower car....I wonder if it's from the extra heat a supercharger puts out?

Just got great news!! Got my car scheduled for pick up for next Thursday so if all goes well I should have my
car back in two weeks!! Can’t wait to driver her. Went to a local track yesterday to grab a couple cans of VP M1 and watch
some racing. Nothing better than the smell of burnt fuel and rubber. It was torture watching but I was glad to get the
truck scheduled for my car today. After almost 10 months without driving only two more weeks to go so stoked!!

could be a possibility. If were to do it all over again I should have just speant more and bought a Zr1 or kept it NA so much money involved to boost a c6z correctly. Now it’s time to make the money worth it and have room for more power down the road.

Looks like a beast. Is your exhaust straight through? Do you go to any car events in Louisville?
