How do you plan on dealing with the wider rockers and wider rear fascia needed to fit the quarter panels? You buy those too?

Still waiting for an answer on this please.

Greg Quillen

Okay, now I really want to go down the strip with you, Ben!

You've got me on rubber, but I've got you on power (for now, until you go nutty on us and add in TT).

- Sorry didn't see that, 140mph is def on the gas It would've been faster had the trans been behaving.

- Theta I want to head south soon anyway to see if this 6L is sorted out so let's play! I've got pills to 500, so don't think I need turbos just yet

- Shirts will be up after this weekend for the Black Friday sale!

- Cam phaser - I don't think is my issue, I'm told it's the spring pressure not allowing the oil to control it on the fly. I have spec'd a new cam to ignore this although I really like VVT personally. I'm mentally 99% of the way on doing a TT kit to this car over the winter though, so I haven't pulled the trigger on the NA cam. I'll decide by the end of the month.

I'm definitely going to rest all the converter to about 4000. It's so tight for the nitrous at 3500 that I barely notice it and would love another 500RPM. I'm awaiting the 8L trans to go in with it as well.

- I want to get these 18x12s under there with the MT345 drag radials. The M&H 325s did really well for me, but I want to leave harder. So, aside from loving a wide body look, I need the fenders, yea that's it, I NEED THEM! lol I am not a fan of the spats though since the fenders taper in at the front to meet the front bumper cover for wider wheels to look right, so although I have them coming too, I believe we'll be doing some body work to make the front bumper wider and front of the fenders wider to look more like the C7R I guess.

Also, I'll have to do some work to get the 427 badge in the spot on the front fender vent since I will not be putting the Z06 badge on obviously. I've had a front bumper designed for awhile so this may lead me into that but that also puts me at a cross road because if I make it wider like I want, it'll take front fenders, then you'd want rear fenders to look right which would lead to needing rockers and rear bumper cover as well as a wider wing. It never ends! lol

- C7 DeWitts radiator, I heard Katech had an install issue with theirs as well, but not sure exactly why the fender vent didn't fit properly. My hood is taller inside as well, so my inner rad duct is up 1" or so and there is room for the back of the rad shroud/duct to be up a little. So, that could be it, but it was easy enough to move around where you want it, that I didn't see any problems.

- Wider wheels no, but different offsets now yes! I'll be selling my wheels and ordering my newly spec'ed offsets with a MASSIVE 2" more concavity in the rear and 1" in the front. They'll look ridiculously good! Also, any of you guys that are interested in my setup now, let me know!

PUR LX12s
Color: Matte black diamond centers, with gloss black diamond lips
20x9 and 21x12.5 less than 3000 miles on them.
Tires will be current Pirelli 245 fronts and new Pirelli 325 rears. (Keeping current ones)
TPMS included, mounted and balanced

I'll save you $3,000 over new and you get new rear tires.

Greg Quillen

any plans to sell Z06 fenders on your site?

Ben@WeaponX

yes I have an extra set coming but the kit isn't cheap since you need 20 parts

Greg Quillen

Any help with cooling?
Like the vents. Think z06 has bigger vent on the hood and a higher hood. I'm getting the dewitt radiator

Ben@WeaponX

that didn't include the hood stuff just the wide body parts necessary

Greg Quillen

Wow that's a lot of part lol

LT1_E85_Corvette

Hope the build is going well. Got the car on E85 with a tune now, it's running great. Need to get it on they Dyno to get a little extra power out of the beast.
