Default **Worlds First 9sec C7 Corvette**

Took our Heads/Cam package to the track today. We ended up running a 10.6 naturally aspirated and then turned on a 150shot of Nitrous and went a 9.9. Enjoy!

Sounded like a large cube motor at idle, high strung too. Down track sounded great and different. The shifts sounded weird but hard and flowing if that makes sense

Good gawd, that thing sounds other worldly! Kind of a combo of howling and shrieking is the best I can describe it. The RPMs come up so quickly, it's hard to tell- what are you using as a shiftpoint? Amazing work there!

What tires are on the car during the pass? Is that an auto or manual?

Adding info together would indicate headers into otherwise stock (maybe NPP) exhaust? Is that correct?
