beter hope that impeller doesn't contact the compressor housing and send beautiful metal shards into your motor.

Does the meth PRE blower have any corrosive affect to the coating on the blades or seals in the blower?

I'm not worried about the blower or engine. My goal is a T-trimmed, forged engine (not sure about cubes...stock LS3 or 416). I know we are pushing the current set up, but I believe it just goes to show how well the tune of the engine and A6 were done. Joshua knows what my goals are and that I'm fine with pushing what I currently have.

I have seriously idolized this car for the past several months now.

Makes me very passionate about selling my f-body and saving up for a nice C6 all while still in college

Great times guys! That thing ROLLS out

Great Times, I'm gonna try to run you down in the spring, I have my work cut out for me. Congrats!
That is about the exact same time I ran with my C5 (9.752 @ 140.40) Hopefully the C6 is up to the challenge as well.
It's gonna be a fun summer!

More power to ya, Bro.
I'm jumping out of the HP race at about this power level. My forged engine and T-trim are primarily so that I have a reliable engine and a blower that is not over-spinning by quite so much. An A6 Vette with this much power and a 3200 converter is street-able, but I will be pushing traction to the edge on my MT ET 305/35/18 tires.

Once traction is leaving you on the street, why add more power?

I agree. I have been chatting a bit with Joshua on youtube. Big props to you guys, I'm going to go for 9's, but as Josh pointed out, it's going to be hard with a 6 speed and my crappy gearing.

Have you guys considered TX2k11 yet?

Are there things you could do to get more traction on the street?

Congrats guys I was at the track the day it happened! The car moves out! I think Josh/who ever tuned it did a great job on the trans shift points!

Id be curious to see how the secondary shaft is doing. It will twist it, and the car will lose 4/5/6 after about 5k miles at that power level unless its been changed already

Louis,
Thx man. I didn't realize you were out there that day, been wanting to meet you.
Well, the output shaft is still stock so I guess it will be a matter of time. I didn't realize they were twisting on the vettes. We do still have his stock tranny in the corner in case we need a spare. Might be sending it off for the shaft upgrade after all. Thx for the heads up.
