26k miles now on my 1000+hp z06. Maybe when I hit 40k on the FI build I'll inspect it, but it runs too good to mess with for now.

* 537whp / 485 Tq.
* LS3 stock

* No issues runs great

Love the balance of power plus handling.

Fast is a great add on if you want something that leaks and has parts break off and go through your engine

If you want more power then just go to a slightly smaller pulley and get the extra airflow that way.

The 1/2 mile events are standing start, my best speed was 161. I had a set of radials with me, unfortunately when I pulled them from the truck to put them on they had a giant hole in the tread of one of them which left me running on the stock runflats for the weekend so I was spinning like crazy. I am fairly certain that during the event the belt was slipping a bit which didn't help my cause at all lol. All the belt slip has since been resolved with the 8rib setup.

Still not a bad speed. I am very close to the same setup. Same supercharger, almost the same cam, etc., 163mph was my best at the last one. I'm on E85 though

I am happy with the result, it was my first 1/2 mile event and my goal was 160+ which I achieved. It certainly didn't help that it was extremely hot that day. The event was a Wanna go Fast event in North Carolina!

Oh yeah, that's the one I was at too.. I did Sunday though. I heard Saturday was miserably hot. Sunday was cool/overcast most of the day which was pretty good weather for an event like that
