Yeah she’s terrifying to me lol, good thing is at 36 I know my limitations and how much more seat time and driver mod I need to actually drive it remotely well. It’ll come with time and I plan on getting there.....but I’m far from it at the moment.

it got a bottom end refresh, polished crank/balanced all bearing replaced/upgraded ARP hardware and forged pistons. Khole’s heads small mill, and chamber softening, blower cam and P1SC(8 rib/3.7” pulley) that surprised all of us that’s for damn sure.

We were all surprised by the P1SC1 man, did not think it was gonna make this power! Still on the factory fuel set up to, just ID 1300’s and a BAP. The dyno number just to clearify(not that you guys need it) but “true numbers” 839whp/699wtq
those are the real world numbers(loaded and corrected)
and it was absolutly the most perfect weather conditions in southern Louisiana for tuning so we had that going for us also.
867whp/738wtq is unloaded and corrected.

Very similar to my numbers. I’m at 837/713, but with a Ti trim. Going on the corn in the next few months. Get some good drag radials and take it easy, especially in the colder weather.

Yeah man as soon as I get the auxiliary system the corn will come lol, gonna get more wheel time and learn the car for now, weather isn’t too bad down here for now, I do need to address my rear tire/wheel set up that’s for sure. Just trying to decide if between the standard SOP (17x11 welds) or if these new forgeline 18x12 with Mickey ET’s 345/35/18 will do the job. COA one will for sure work obviously but man I rearlt love that 345 look, and this is and will always be a true street car that I enjoy on weekends and in good vette weather so the look still plays a decent factor in some of my choices, sacrificing a little is not an issue I’m concerned about honestly. What I do know is the 345/30/19 NTO5R is being asked to do to much as of know lol.....first world F/I vette problems ya know😂

awesome man! That’s what I need to know, so good feed back and knowing with more seat time the 345/35/18 will work, you mind throwing up a pic or two when you get a second?

Street manners are just amazing! That credit it due to Bob@cam motion for taking a lot of time and hearing me out and getting all the information and specs on my build, and Nick at Boosted Innovations for taking the time to put the car on the road and going the extra mile getting the cam dialed in! Not gonna say it “drives just like stock” for two reasons....one ironically I’ve never driven a stock C6z....so I don’t even know, two.....it’s not stock lol. What I can say is my wife can drive it in parking lots and around the neighborhood, very little if any surge at low RPMs and she’ll do 50mph in 6th gear on the interstate without any surge or bucking as well. So cam wise it’s just awesome, clutch is a Mcload RXT organic with their billet steel flywheel so it feels pretty much like the factory set up(I had the stock clutch in for the first 3/4 months I owned the car so I have experience with it) MGW shifter is awesome and I threw one cooper crush washer on the shift detent and I’m very pleased with that mod. Now when peddle gets some pressure and the RPMs come up.....booooooossssttttt hits hard and the meth starts flowing......it’s a savage with zero manners whatsoever lol, but regardless if you’re driving or in the passenger seat it brings the same child like ear to ear smile on everyone’s face....and damn if that’s not what it’s all about!
