Proto, Your Mom reacts much the same as my wife. And when going anywhere in the Vette, before getting in, she makes me promise not to crank up excessive speed.

That was hilarious! What is done to your car and how much horsepower are you putting out? Also sounds like you have quite a bit of supercharger whine which is great anything done to make that louder?

Every Kong part, Heads, Cam, E85. No dyno numbers. As far as why its so loud, No idea. Blower is spinning pretty fast with the pulleys I use lol. My wifes CTS-V is way louder I think.

That S/C whine sounds fantastic!

Any pics of that red T/A? I sure do miss my old one from time to time. WS6s still catch my eye every time I see one on the road. Such damn good looking cars that still look great even 20+ years later.

Wow, the car seems really strong...REALLY Strong!

Had a chuckle with your Mom’s response to how fast you were going...and kinda’ expected her to “backhand” (love tap of course) you after the pull.

Enjoy...and be SAFE.
