This car looks so good. Proper times also! PM me your wheel setup if you could? I went back a few pages but can't seem to find it. You need to get some quality pics so I can use it as my wallpaper

I'm still getting around to assembling the CCW classics I had powder coated.

Back in Oct I ran a new PB of 10.75 @132mph. Car still has more in it but I'm still working on optimized shift points. Bought a twin turbo setup for it as well.

Just been busy with the after house business. Currently have two C6's in the garage waiting on built engines to arrive.

Also ran a buddy's 2016 2.9 Whippled 5.0. I couldn't hook in the 40degree temps, he got me by 3 cars from a dig in Mexico.

Sucks when you can’t get the power to the ground. Are the C6’s yours? Or a customers?

Two customers, one is a 2013 M6 GS, getting a full NA build (rings gapped for future Procharger) with Mcload RXT clutch/Tick master/Tilton slave.

The other is a 2007 Z51 complete build, D1X race kit, widebody, 4"cowl hood.

And yes it sucks spinning on the street, I'm looking at regulating torque from a dig.

That's gonna be wild! Changing the set up on the motor at all when the time comes?

Yeah, probably a sleeved aluminum block. The current engine is really a max effort N/A build.

That’s exciting, I know of a good home in a blue TA that’ll fit that 427 perfectly!

Haha, I may have a good home for it shortly. It'll be a TA.

So since I've updated this thread, I've been back to the drag strip twice. Each time I've had new PB's. The first was Oct of last year. I ran a 10.75 @132mph with a 1.63 60', 6.99 1/8 @ 102.

Then I went back again first week of this month and ran a 10.73 @ 132mph with a 1.67 60' running the same 1/8th but at 103mph. I'm going to invest in double adj coil overs on all four corners next.


OCT 2022

FEB 2023, new PB.




I set up the dragy at the track.

Seems pretty accurate.

Just a little update on the Camaro, I finally got around to installing the GZ motorsports Vaccuum pump I bought earlier this year. Installation was pretty tight next to the AC dryer. Tested it out with multiple WOT runs and hasn't thrown the belt.

Been busy with the after hours business, doing multiple heads/cam/bolt ons/tunes on what seems to be a lot of the local C6 Corvettes (with a few C7s and 5th/6th gen Camaros mixed in).

I also bought a C6 Corvette in the process, 2008 LS3/TR6060 base model and got a 2002 WS6 roller.
