I started it up this evening everything seems to be good to go. I will get it off the Jack Stands tomorrow torque the lug nuts and take the test drive.

Test drive went great. No vibration in the drivetrain from deleting the Guibo Couplers in the driveshaft. The Mantic Clutch works flawlessly. The peddle seems easier just have to get used to the way it grabs from a dead stop. Now to break it in for 500 miles. These were definitely upgrades that were worth the work. I would like to Thank the crew at ECS for getting me the parts. Geoff from Mantic Clutch for the Technical Support and the guys on the Corvette Forum who posted some how too that help make the job go smoother.

Nice overall write up 7 seconds.
I'm looking at getting the same dr's as yours. Are your front tires stock height? Any errors messages with traction control or anything?

The front tires are the OEM size. Also running OEM C6 Base Model wheels. No problems with Codes other than the tire pressure sensors running 19psi in Drag Radials. I put the TPS sensors in a 3" PVC tube with 37 psi which works most of the time. Tires also tend to grow on the diameter at speeds over 150mph. When this happens they can rub the inner fender well. Had to raise the car back to OEM ride hieght in the rear to stop the rubbing at 1/2 mile speeds. Tires work very well on dry streets but suck in the rain. Tires last about 4,000 miles.

It helped a lot with the harsh raspiness sound, kind of muffled it. Not sure how much quieter it was, it's been a while

Good to know! I will have to look into that. Not sure if running cats is even an option anymore tho.

The Mantic twin disc clutch has been broke in and everything is smooth. The clutch took a little getting used to leaving a traffic light under normal conditions. It grabs hard which is good when launching the car. I am really liking it now.
