I've always browsed the forums for information but never took it upon myself to share my own modifications I've done over the last 4 years of ownership. 2015 base manual Stingray, had 23k miles and bone stock when I picked it up. I ran a Nitrous Outlet plate kit set up on the car for close to 2 years. Put down 564whp 616tq on a 150 shot, and ran a best of 7.3@99.9 in the 1/8th mile and 7.9 60-130 on dragy. After getting tired of filling bottles I moved to an A&A V3-Ti supercharger set up. 3.8 pulley on 93 octane put down 584whp 605tq. No 1/8th testing but went 7.7 60-130 on dragy. This was all done on a 100% stock engine with the only other modifications being Brisk spark plugs and a set of Speed Engineering long tube headers with x-pipe. After being on this set up for over a year and a half I have added the Holley Ultra Low Ram intake, LT4 HPFP, Snow Performance methanol kit (50/50 mix), 100octane race gas, and a bellmouth inlet. Took the car to the dyno and sadly cylinder 7 kept misfiring so couldn't get any solid data on gains. New set of plugs and she's running smooth again. Car gained 2psi switching to the bellmouth inlet. Will get dragy data soon! Some photos of the various set ups I've had. Just crossed 90k miles by the way!
Looks good. What kind of whp you think you are running now? How do you like your dragy. I am looking at getting one as our track doesn't do many test and tunes.

Maybe 630-640ish? It still put down 600whp with the misfire while only revving out to 5500rpm! As far as the dragy goes, seems like it always has low satellite issues causing invalid runs. And the slope % is completely inaccurate. When I raced at ZMAX drag strip, dragy had it at -2* on one of the runs. Made the pass invalid. The newer model supposedly fixed some of these issues.

I'm pleasantly surprised your stock bottom end has held up as I am thinking about going to FI on my build next year. I just bought a new version Dragy and frankly it will not consistently hold satellites when set right on the dash in front of the drive against the back of the batwing. If I hold it up high on the windshield or up front by the defroster vent it works much better. So I ordered a suction cup mount because I don't want to put stick a piece of metal on my dash that is visible to hold it up front.
The passes I made at the TX Mile worked fine for data, but only 2 runs were video'd because I could not get it to work well enough mounted by the batwing. I'll get the suction cup mount in tomorrow and will be able to test it next week. I even returned my first dragy because it would not even connect when holding it outside the car with my hand. The new one seems to be a lot better.
