Default Supercharged C6 Video

I just bought a new "Sticky Pod" camera mount, decided to test it out by making an in-car video of my Corvette. This was my first time to make a story video, turned out okay. Here is the video:

Great video, thanks... Maybe next time you can leave the top on

How much for the work and how's the driveability?

I did the installation of everything myself. Drivability is very good after tuning was done. No stalling issues, no hot start issues, idles fine, etc..

unf...unless you changed your tires too, third tops at 93. comes quick enough too. Impressive. Got dyno sheet? If not...get one! Cam should cancel some of the low end bias...should be damn flat and very high.

Stock Z51 tires on the car.

I'm getting a smaller pulley for the blower soon, then I'll re-dyno tune the car. Hoping for 590 rwhp @ 7 psi boost. Then I have a Snow methanol kit to add, that should put it over 600+ rwhp with a huge torque curve.

Then..... maybe the MP122 upgrade

I was gonna ask if you did heads or valvetrain work when you did the cam, but your post on ls1tech says you were shifting at 7k, so you either live dangerously or swapped the valvetrain. So that takes my 93 estimate up to...right at triple digit...

Full head swap or just valvetrain work?

Stock heads, never been off the engine. I replaced the valvesprings with Comp 26918 springs, and titanium retainers. Also installed 7.400" chrome moly pushrods. The car trapped 129 mph in the 1/4 back when it had the stock gears. With the 3.90s and some cool weather, it should run pretty good on the next visit.

Cool video Tony and gotta love that blower "scream"!

Watch that wheel-hop in second gear though, as it appeared to have hopped hard enough to shake the camera and you can here the engine respond to it. Wheel-hop will have you walking in a hurry..

Traction? We don't need no stinkin' traction!

You are an excellent candidate for Nitto R2s.

You can run them on a OEM C5 rear (18x9.5) which fits nicely on the back of your C6. In fact, you could run those wheels all around, as they happen to also fit perfectly on the front. 305s in back, 275s in front. Not as nice as you wheels now, but you'll have traction to match the power.

Guys, I am seriously considering the maggie, but I'm concerned about the heat issue. Several vendors tell me heat soak is a problem. I hammer my car pretty hard so I need an honest opinion from you if it will hold up.

How are your cars in summer traffic with AC on etc. Thanks.

I have another thread in C6 general on this topic.
