That's Bad ***! That would probably be mid to low 9's in the 1/4? I don't think I've seen anyone put a Vette with a PD in the 9's have they? Congrats! I'm glad to hear you got that 5.99, it would frustrate the crap out of me to run a 6.0x. Actually I'll be really excited if I can get mine in the 6's at all this summer!

I only know of one other person who’s done it with a Heartbeat blower, and his car was also an A6, which helps big time.
I’m pretty sure that I could’ve turned the wick up on the spray and gotten a 5.8 out of it, but I’m mindful of the stock bottom end.
But yeah, it would’ve been a hell of a lot easier if I had gone the centrifugal route.
Our track is pretty rough too, which was probably why I was tire shake well past the 60’, which the Torque Tamer completely eliminated, I’m happy to say.

Actually, there’s several people who have put C6s in the 9s with PD blowers, especially if you count the ZR1 guys.

Sorry to ressurect an old thread, but I am getting driveline work done and want to buy things that will save me headaches later, getting a new clutch kit installed and carbon driveshaft.
Plan is to get ECS' trans/diff brace and this, but my question is, will this interfere with elite engineering's 1/4 ceramic coat tunnel plate with abs heatshield?
Car is a manual 2000 C5 FRC.
Also I didn't see in the thread, but that rubber tape that you installed, did it help with keeping noise down? While I'm at it, I want to make sure I don't get any kind of noise introduction from things touching or vibrating/resonating. I'm not sure if ECS introduced all these changes in the current design, including that rubber tape.
@DOUG @ ECS can you help out
