Good luck with the new build Pete. Even though you went with a smaller cam, it still sounds great.
Will Doug be putting your Z on the dyno? I'm interested in seeing how much your numbers change with the milder cam.

I hate to be the 'negative guy' or anything 
but I've just seen those 'very first passes in a brand new combo' bugs/gremlins rear their ugly heads far too many times.
But if all goes well and the car is truly 'issue free' then I also predict an 11.3x/11.4x and 122-123mph on a 1.50 - 1.56 short time.
Damn, I'll be there during the day for a track rental too, I would stay to watch you run if I wasn't driving someone else's car down and back. 
You can come and run at this track rental as well if ya want and then I can video your passes too, I can get ya in it ($200.00 of course) as I have some pull.

After a minor tuning glitch today.. 
(inside joke, no problems) my guess is 11.0 @ 122-3 1.45 60' on a very conservative tune. Good luck Pete!

Well, I think we can certainly call this project a total SUCCESS!
In his first official race/competition (the other night was just a test and tune session) with this car, Pete WON the Corvette Pro 11.50 index class and made it to the semi finals in the GM EFI class against some SERIOUS competition (some of the best/most 'winningest' drag racers that we race with at E-town).
Awesome job today Pete (and white Z06).

Thanks guys.
This car has far exceded my expectations It is exactly what I wanted when I started the project. The only thing it needs now, is Sirius satellite radio.
