We can idle @ 500 but it doesn't charge the car well enough.

My guess would be that RL means runner length. With the individual runner (IR) intake that Rob is using, peak hp rpm can be manipulated with the length of the intake trumpets.

It is doing well. I have not run much during the summer as temps are extremely hot (track temps 150+). I have changed nothing this year except I partnered with NRC to develop a true coil-over drag race shock for the C5/6. I don't think that my car will run any faster or quicker in good conditions but the new suspension does alllow me to run good in hot slippery conditions that was impossible with the previous set up.

Might be worth the trip for this one even just as a spectator, Rob's car is the 'main event' in my opinion but also going to be some other cool stuff gunnin' for a number.

The shocks Danny's talking about are designed for drag racing by drag racers that can be dialed in for the street.
Anything can be made to work, it just depends on what level you are at, or want to be at.
I have seen the custom shocks by NRC/DBN and they are a great looking high quality assembly, no doubt about it.
