Sweet! Nicest setup I have seen on any generation Vette yet. Great job....get some turbo blankets on that thing before you melt the glass. Nice touch being able to keep the carbon fiber appearance pieces and cat back exhaust.

Love the look of the snails up top. Good job! Now just need easy tuning and clutch pack.

Made 667rwhp and 670rwtq very easily....This is a gain of 231rwhp and 250rwtq over stock... We stopped at this level as we know the factory pistons can not handle much more and for sure the factory DCT clutch setup is not enough. We are working on that right now.

Yeah I watched yours and SS717's videos on it. Very nice numbers for sure. Its too bad the DCT cant handle the power. It seems to slip bad when pulling. I'm sure Mike will put it through its paces now that he has it back. Looks like upgraded clutches are going to be a requirement for any FI build on these cars.
