The SPINFAST strikes again
Thanks to Guy for porting my fast 90.
I chose him because of all his help to the Corvette Community and for the donation to St. Judes. I also will donate to the cause on behalf of Guy and in honor of my kid brother.
I won't be able to dyno the car but the track performance wasn't too shabby.
In an attempt to slow my car down and dial it in for a local series my C5Z trapped just under 135mph on 3 consecutive passes in 73 degrees.
For anyone on the fence, I recommend SpinMonster porting your intake.

Thanks for the compliments guys.
Rob was a great guy to work for. I was happy to extend great pricing to him in view of his demeanor. A real gentleman to work with. I added in some cosmetic fix-ups I felt he would like over the old, tired silver painting it had, and it made his manifold look right at home on the shelf of out-going units that were never used before. It looked brand new when it was done and I'm happy it went to such good use. 135 trap speeds are sick for FI let alone N/A cars.
Way to go Rob!

I really appreciate the aesthetics and performance for very little coin.
Maybe we'll see 140mph on an all out pass this fall.
