Episode 1 video- Project car/tuner challenge
Hi Guys
I am really disappointed that the other tuners did not sho up. We put a lot of effort into building the Tuner Challenge car but only a couple of McLaren cars showed up in our class.
We were all excited to see Katech, Hennessy and Lingenfeldter originally announced as entered but for what ever reason the failed to show.
No worries, we did some good things with our C7 Z07, with our Dual intercooler package. Never saw over 194 F engine temps and the Intake temps never came close to any danger zone.
Great validation of our cooling system.
2 more video episodes to come!!
Thanks

First episode 1/2 Mile run
we hit 163.9 mph with 739 rwhp 732 rwtq on about 20% E85. with the Wing on track car
then we did in another A8 transmission on the way to hitting 181 mph with our 1500hp Straight line car.
Looks like the A8 is only good for about 1200 hp +/- Stay tuned, still working on a solution.
Episode 2 is from Daytona ......In the rain!!
thanks

Priorities... I value competing in our LG Motorsports Corvette at two of the most prestigious tracks in America for a right to go to Nurburgring
So I guess we won't see you at Nurburgring unless you follow us over on your own dime.
I hear there is a motor show in Saigon, coming up soon.

PS, call us for any of our LG Motorsports Proven parts.
