Default Gave the 'ol Vette a winter makeover (PICS)

I figured this winter would be as good as any to get a few things done that I've wanted to do. Big thanks to everyone who gave me a hand and answered questions that I had. Just took my time, learned a little along the way, and I'm very happy with how everything turned out. The blower installation is very clean and should give me some reliable power.

I still have a few things that I want to do cosmetically, but I'm almost there. Tune should be done end of March...I'll report back with #s.

Previous numbers with headers/intake/gears were 11.62 @ 118. I'd like to see low 10's at some point this year but I'm just looking forward to enjoying the car.

Winter Mods:
  • New P1SC
  • New A&A blower bracket
  • New A&A ram-air intercooler
  • 10% OD 8-rib Innovators West
  • Racetronix Harness & 255 w/ KB BAP
  • Black C6Z style wheels w/ 305/35R18 ET Street Radials

Previous Mods:
  • RKT56 3.90 and Trans
  • 236/238 .601/.605 113 LSA non-blower cam
  • Reworked 241 Heads
  • ARH 1 3/4 Headers
  • B&B Bullets

Looks fantastic - what were the tuning results?

RWHP and RWTQ for your set-up?

Thanks,Matt

We ended up seeing 644rwhp and 540rwtq at 16° timing and 10.7 afr. Slipping it a dose of meth will make me feel better.

Now seeing 681/581 (same mods as above) but tuned for meth. Hopefully next time I update this thread it's with a 347.

Do you have a graph? If not what did it make at 6500? Did you take it higher?
