Just courious; did you break your car in like the book recommends or drove it like you stole it from day 1 or 2? some people are doing one or the other and I was wondering if the initial break-in has a direct effect on this occurrance or not????

And yes he did have tuning so I'm curious if the TM tables had been altered.

Smoove, when we started to race our C6 in the Fall of 04 we also had problems when dumping the clutch along with tires. We had to modify the stock C6 unit and it now sustains those 5000-5500 rpm launches with drag tires. That along with our torque management module enabled our C6 to be the first one in the 10s with our Stage 2X head and cam package.
The 2006 C6 has a stronger rear, here is a link that you might find informative. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show...9&page=1&pp=20
