Ready to run, bring on the sun! I just got the vette outta the shop. It made 564rwhp/512rwtq, up about 30 from before. I went from 7psi to 9psi using wastegate springs. They said my costco 92 gas was causing spark knock, so the timing was limited, and costing some power. I wonder if I should run some Torco to prevent the KR and try more timing, so I can run a "high octane map" for the track?

That is pretty interesting about the gas!! I wonder what gas is recommended?
What gas does everyone else use? I plan on adding a bit of 101 or even 105 octane gas when I run the nitrous.........just to be safe.

I was running a little race gas to help that Chris. Like 2-4 gal per tank of gas. Now I use meth injection - knock is ALL gone. And it make more power too. I know it's another $500, but you might consider it. Ryan uses the Snow kit, I use the Alky Control kit.....
And I agree, bring on the sun!!!

To everyone. If you do not buy the best gas possible you are giving up what you are tring to get 
I pretty much run a mix of Chevron 92 and Sonoco 100ul 12 to one CR and a 200RW Shot gets the job done with room to spare.
Glad your car is ready to go man! I took a few nights this week to try and get my car ready for a Photo Shoot but in the end I was not even close
The results can be seen HERE

Out of curiousity, you on the stock block Chris?
Seems that highest boost I see on a stock block on a LSx is 7PSI at most
Seems the TTi kits are real performers, and is most likely the kit I Will be going with in the future!

All 3 of us are going to need to run race fuel to keep safe.

Yeah the only problem is my runs will be limited, cuz no roll bar. It doesn't feel much different, but is a bit stronger and the stiff clutch should help improve last year's 11.4 to a maybe a 10.9? I was completely off the throttle every shift due to the weak clutch. Now I can rip it!
I got a dyno vid 4 ya. http://cjstewart4a.home.comcast.net/564rwhp_TTiX.avi
