Well the car is up and running. It was a pain I mixed up the darn sending unit wires and thought I had a pinched wire somewhere but it was just those 2 wires.

I would like to see what it makes. But I think I'm gonna have the hellcat dyno'd again. I just added blower spacers and a thermal blanket to it. Next is a 2.85 pulley. It made 665 stock, 671 with an intake. we are making a good 11psi now. Before the blower spacers it had regular gaskets sames as the 392s. So wanna see what it makes now before the 2.85.

Well I ordered some stuff for Christmas for the vette. What spring rates should I go with for the vette for coilovers? I have some aldan American phantoms on the way. First time doing coilovers just need guidance on spring rates incase they ask me what I want since I picked the drag (custom) setup.

Well I received the coilovers. There are a few issues. One looked like it had been used, they sent the wrong springs, and not the right kit. The ones they sent are stock to 1.5" lower wanted the stock to 2" lower. So they have the right ones coming then when they get here I will send the other ones back. I'm glad they are making it right lol.

Here is a launch with the new coilovers and 2 step. Launched at 2500 might try 3500 to 4000 the next time. I need to add a little preload to the right rear. Car bogged down you will hear it in the video but if I can just remember to slip the clutch like this at the track I shouldn't have any problems breaking sh*t like I usually do. I might have slipped it a little slow but it's better then dumping it and breaking.

What size tire do you have under there?
I’m guessing 325s

Here is a cold start of the car when I first put the corsa sport exhaust on. Don't mind the tips being off they have been fixed as yall can tell from some other pics and video.

Mid October I have to call my body guy to get it scheduled. Are you in Delaware? I'm running 295 on chrome z06 wheels their. My drag radials are a 315. When I finally figure out what wheels I want I'm planning on running a 345/25/20. looking at bc-forged, and ccw for now.
I was told some former CCW employees are now managing BC Forged. They know Corvette offsets.
