Cost ?
You might PM me :-)
Idle and driving Q is more important than extracting the last 5% for me...
GS with 620-630 NA Hp engine with less weight and no cooling issues as my Z06 is the way to go i think

Yes it's an LT1 sleeved block. Cam and tune dictates idle of course, so the car can be as tame as you want it. I absolutely love the car's performance. I'm building a couple of them now. If you want one, let me know as Callies is taking 14 weeks on the cranks right now!

Ben, where are those photos? Sold any more of these?
And it appears from your website that the cost is now $12k instead of $8k......

I have also ordered a set of 19s from them directly and they promised a June 9th delivery data. From what I learned so far, I don't think it's gonna happen and considering a refund for my deposit. Since I think you might work closely with them for the rims, do you have any insight or thought on this matter? Any input will be appreciated.

What's the real deal with the carbon fiber wheels?

Sorry fellas, they were delayed with SAE testing and I haven't been following as closely lately. I do see they have some pics on their site now of cars with them on, so I will reach out to see what's up!

At this rate they'll be at least $10K per should they ever really hit the market.

Yes, I have carbon fibre wheels on my track S1000RR and even my rookie skill noticed a significant difference in response compared to forged wheels. Would love to have carbon fibre wheels on my car.
