I am Back
Thanks to the commitment of a great bunch of guys The Vette Doctors.
My car finally hit the track and things are certainly going in the right direction. For everyone that is not familiar with the current mods. Here they are: The 4l60 has been replaced with turbo 400 in its stock location. The rear end was modified to act like a spool. A custom DTE brace was installed. My power plant is an ls2 block, C5R heads and a custom sheet metal manifold controlled by an Accel/DFI system. My power adder is a two stage Speed Tech Direct port nitrous system. All these changes at one time created one hell of a mission; we were plagued with many problems that needed to be worked out.
Now the results: Two 10.1 passes followed up with two 10.0 runs all N/A going thru the traps at only 3500 rpm. The motor ran flawless. The tranny worked perfectly (after being in and out at least 6 times) The convertor was way two loose flashing to almost 6,000 N/A ( that will be getting swapped out this week) The rear even stayed in one piece after some nice launches off the brake.
This car will have no problem running mid nines@ 3400lbs on motor with right gears and convertor.
Now for the best part!
The Doctors said that if I made thru the day with out braking. I could have my Bottles Back

Actually Alex holds the title for quickest n/a C5 in Mikes car. Mario's 447 holds the title for fastest n/a C5
Kidding aside, glad to see your back in action

You were like a lost baby without your bottles. I'm glad the Doctor's let you have your bottles back.
