... Leaving a nice little opening to slide in the American Racing Longtubes and the catless x-pipe to expel spent gases through my factory NPP dual mode mufflers. The Mustangs won't know what hit them when the flaps open at 3500 RPM

I know right?! I had a pretty sweet 2002 Vette with all the bolt ons, it was very quick but this one will be the fastest by far! One like this has been on my "bucket list" for some time now and it's great to finally have the chance to get er done!

Very nice! I just installed the same blower on my c6z. I received the start-up tune last night, so I'll be cranking it up this afternoon . It's been down for about 6 months with the new build and I'm excited... I know the feeling you have right now. Congrats!

Wish it is going fine with your set up.
Not sure if you aim for 725 rwhp or just engine hp. I see 725 rwhp hard on stock short block. You may need to consider pistons etc..

It will be fine! I am pretty sure the car came with pistons. The trick is in the fuel system and tune. Matt knows how to make it safe!

We have surpassed 500 C6's on the road now with over 700 rwhp and a stock engine, some cammed but they get closer to 800 rwhp.

Matt knows the combo well, he is in good hands.

Not trying to threadjack, although this may come up for the OP because he has the same kit. With regards to the "fine tuning" HD tensioner bracket.

I am breaking in the new engine and working through the first three heat cycles. I have the direct drive 10-rib set-up with the IW balancer and 3.25" upper. At idle the belt is walking off the lower pulley (towards the engine) and walking off the blower pulley (towards the radiator). It appears that the HD tensioner bracket needs to be adjusted and moved away from the engine (engine is towards the top . So I went underneath the car (only feasible place to adjust it) and I am having a difficult time getting a wrench on the middle nut that needs to be adjusted. Also, based on what I have read it seems like the adjustment needs to be turned to where the adjustment will basically bottom out. (towards the top of the picure). I loosened the end bolt as well to take as much stress on the adjustment bolt off as possible, but still can't manage to get a wrench on that bolt with the pulley being so close. Any ideas?

Off set wrench or take a measurement and take it off to adjust. I personally use and offset wrench.

Mostly LS3's or LS2's also? I'm assuming meth is involved with most?
