Default Hey

Hey whatever happened to this project? Is it finished now? I'm not sure if I mentioned it here (sorry guys) but my 2650 LSX project is done and we made 852whp / 785 tq at 18 psi on E85 with belt slip thereafter and also belt alignment issues which I *think* I just got sorted out

Car is currently in process of getting widebody setup (blended into the fenders and body lines) and whole new paint job. Plan to run 19x13 on a 345 in the back

Car is doing very well. I don't daily drive it but I drive it a lot. I've driven it another 500 miles in the last few weeks.

I built this car well enough that have it tuned well enough I'd get in it and drive it all the way to Florida no problem.

Last summer and into the fall I did a lot of ******* around with the tune to make it driveable with the AC on.

Gotta get the stupid leaky *** ECS fuel block off the tank and just put a proper bulkhead fitting that feeds my external fuel pump in this weekend and I'll be driving the Vette again next week.

My current daily driver is an LS swapped Ford Ranger 2wd standard cab short bed that is almost more fun to drive than the Vette but the problem is that it has no AC and it is already getting hot as hell inside that thing even when it's only 65 outside lol.


vettefx I think I have posted in your thread before but can't remember for sure.

P.S. In case you missed it the car is currently running an all forged 408 with LS3 heads set up for 20 psi. Car needs a bigger cam and moar boost!
