It Rips ! Thanks LPE
Have recieved my C6 back from LPE and after the initial test drive I am very happy with the performance. Would like to thank Jeff and Graham for working with me on this project and believe me they can fully tune an automatic. My car will break loose and downshift into first up to 45 mph and when it hits second gear somewhere around 60, it will continue to burn its tires at least to 72 mph when I had to let off.
Don't know how our ET's will be - may need sticky tires. Hope to have it at the track within the month and will post ET's.

Did not have enough road to keep it wide open. I asked Graham about second to third shifts. They will still be aggressive, but should not disrupt the car. Wide open throttle was done with traction control off. Car with traction control on will burn tires at any speed in first gear and spin them into second. Have not tried second to third shift yet. Need more road and warmer weather.

Hey Jeff - can you compare the wheel hp to the crank hp for us?

In a C5 or C6, we typically see about a 16-18% loss from a 6 speed, and about 18-20% in an automatic from the flywheel on our engine dyno to the tires on our dynojet chassis dyno. This is apples for apples. Can't take for granted the factory ratings. A 400 HP C6 will make more than 400!
An H2 is closer to 30%!

I (as do most true performance enthusiasts I think) prefer rear wheel horsepower/torque ratings over the more inflated sounding crank ones personally. 
But enjoy your newly faster Corvette just the same.
