[QUOTE=Smoove;1586954016]Thanks Robert. Hoping it traps in the high 60's and goes low 9's, high 8's with the TR6060. thanks again man, will keep em coming.

These new c7 frames are made totally diff a ton better out of the hole. I just drove a new one plus it was a auto, in race mode this thing is crazy out of the hole over the c5 or c6. I mau have to get one of them just for fun. Robert

Yea man, been saying it for years. The C5,..total mans corvette(no offense to the ladies)... Anyone that has driven a C5 hard....then driven a C6 hard...will know that the C6 is sooo much easier to get/keep going straight.... the C7, which I also drove but admittedly only one, although I man handled the 7 speed manual around, it also, felt even more refined then the C6...which makes sense given the chassis rigidity.

The C7, if you haven't driven one,...is a car you should definitely drive. I know several of my vette friends are "hating" on the C7, as they did the C6....but,...they now love the C6...and the C7 will likely soon grow on them as well.

Just wait till you see this baby in person Robert if you haven't already...I have seen 2..1 yellow, 1 grey...and they are to me, the best looking vettes yet.

Also, if you haven't driven a LATTTTTTEE 12 or 13 model year C6,...drive one, you may be VERY impressed. Here's the Z07's I saw at Sebring and Barrett Jackson.

I agree drove a c7 from the dealers a few days ago. auto had ever thing on it that come on one. But wasnt the big hp car man the ride in the car was 100% better than the c5. Plus in race mode the car hooked up like it had a 4 link under it to the c5.

Smoove

Yeaaa buddy. I have been seeing them EVERYWHERE around where I live/work now. Lots of verts. Good looking rides, that's for sure.

Boy looking at your pics makes me feel a bit better ! These things have NO underhood room for hot pipe ! Your doing a great job,cant wait to see it hit the track !

Smoove

Thanks man, much appreciated. No room indeed. Sucks but,..us guys have been working on getting in, and out tight spaces since day one so nothing we all couldn't handle HAHAHA! Thanks again, hoping to be up and running by the time Florida starts to cool off. Cannot wait...



If I had any advice for anyone, heat shielding. Lots of it lol.

Looks better on a computer screen than by text message for sure

Smoove

Much appreciated brother.

Hoping to have some serious progress reports over the next couple of weeks. Still gonna be a while but...honestly, it is so hot here, I have AC but,...I wouldn't wanna put the car through that.

Soon though.

Side note, the F1X car is coming a long, and so is the 427 Z06. Hoping to have some crazyness rolling out this winter time. We'll have to have a party at the shop.

The wastegate dump tubes are the ****!

Kenny F*****g Powers was my influence.

Here's from right now, today... dudes at DeubelProducts putting in work. These new 2" stainless steel V bands are wicked..















I know being here in the fab/FI section I don't need to explain it's under construction...but, just incase,...everything will be insulated for heat, the pushlock stuff, alpha stuff, that will all be relocated, as well as changed to hardline so, be easy on me for routing at the moment fellas.

SOOO BAD AZZ homie, I love it.

Smoove

Thanks Nick, I much appreciate your insight brotha.

It's a pain in the *** to be honest, making these pipes and bends...then to get the outlet on the actual fender area....it's a PITA. It's got me so stressed out honestly, I can't wait till it's over. I hate cutting the body...especially for something that is so esthetic....getting it perfect, is harder then I thought.

I will be happy when this week is over with.

Smoove

Looks like I will be on my stock ecm for a bit... what 2 step are you guys using?

Lingenfelter?

I was gonna hold out for an ecm...just not sure what I wanna do now, mostly budget hindered at this point. So may just get a 2 step, and maybe next year go to a different management system.

Thanks

JoeyG

I've got a spare new in the box MSD I'll loan you for as long as you need it.

Smoove

You da man Joey.

How do you like that unit? Have you used one?

Thanks bro. I dunno if I would wanna do that but, super cool of you.
