Welcome to the real FRC bunch,,,And you don't have to worry about joining the OTHER FRC bunch LOL!! 322 is dead on,,Mine was in the valvoline dyno display an the Mid West Nationals last May (at St. Louis) Mine is stock except for a Blackwing and Corsa Touring. They did 13 pulls,,and #1 pulled HP/TQ 323.51/324.76. The interesting thing is the stock (untuned) ECM kept adjusting to running WOT and kept adjusting the WOT air/fuel and the peak 3s kept going up. #13 3s were338.92/345.91 !! 2 days later( my first time at the track with her)it ended the night with a 13.08/110.23 on run flats!!

advice please
again thanks for the warm welcome! looking for some advice.
she will be a daily driver for a bit. the drive is about 3 miles each way running 35-45 mph.
as i see it:
the good- very few miles a year.
the bad- endless. short starts/trips are hell on exhaust systems and the oil/engine exchange. as we all know, before the engine gets warmed up it is shut down. not good.
any advice on keeping the damage of short trips to a minimum?
(yes, not commuting daily with the vette is in the works.
)
i am new in these parts, being humble and looking for advice.
