Why did you do the trunion upgrade? I thought that was LS1 engines for the most part...

Like the build thread says, they don't like the needle bearing design so as a reliability improvement they did it. Many vendors have that same opinion. A captured bearing design can't come apart like the factory ones.

Great job guys!! Feels good to FINALLY see another shop in the world modify a C7 and actual show results(besides just simple header installs). Keep it up!
Now lets see what it does with our CNC Cylinder Heads. I think my guys shipped them out today but will check tomorrow to confirm.

Love how the torque doesn't drop off like the oem cam does.

Take it for what it's worth.
But I'll be interested to see what kind of gains are made with a ported/aftermarket intake.

After looking inside the plenum and runners of our intake I would have to agree with Greg. Once we install LMRs CNC heads and CAI and get the combo dialed in again we will remove the intake/port/install and get a true A/B comparison.. I like doing things in steps like this to show you what each modification gains Vs throwing a bunch of parts on a car and not knowing what did what...

Yeah, nothing like a scientific approach with changing only one variable at a time.
Keep up the good work!

I appreciate the invite and the heat at C&O this past Sunday. I had the blue C7. Ron, I think your shop and crew is top notch. I hope you hit your numbers and you can rest assure I am talking up your shop and service over anyone else to my club and friends. In fact I talked to one of your customers for 30mins thinking he was one of your managers only to find out he worked elsewhere. This just tells me that you educate your customers and the educated come to you as well as a loyalty.

Dan at Hendricks showed me the 11's in front of the dship. Awesome.

I hope your son was feeling better.

Thanks for parking with us. We enjoyed the company and certainly enjoyed checking out your gorgeous Laguna Blue C7. FWIW, we have decided to sponsor the show every month and will continue to provide heat during the cooler months. We hope you will continue to hang out with us.

I appreciate your good words about Vengeance (and obviously our customers). We are definitely fortunate to have some AWESOME customers that are continually excited about Vengeance Racing and don't mind sharing that excitement

Caydin pulled thru by mid day Monday... Seems the stomach bug that has been going around hit him hard Sunday morning. Thank you for asking.
