Well I finally got the rims/ tires for the front, so I could install the front brakes. I can't believe how well it stops now.

Ok so I bought a snow performance stage 2 methanol kit. Going to install that over the winter. I've been working on the interior lately.bought new seat covers And a seal for the sunroof. Trying to save some $ for a headliner now. . Seats came out mint. They were crazy money, but really high quality .

I'm going to scotch guard them before I install them. Eventually I'm going to do the back seat and door panels , so everything matches


Before and after lol

This kit has the new Vc-50 controller. It works progressively according to boost pressure.

Jimmyg,
Did you just grab a Vette Whipple kit or is yours a tuner or hotrod kit? IS the SC pushed forward a lot?

i put some 275/50/17 race masters on. My buddy bought them for his nova, but they wouldn't fit. They are 27.8 tall. I should trap higher now, since I can go thru traps in 3rd. Gonna give it a shot fri.night

Went back to the 275/40/17 nitto . Car didn't do any better with the taller tire. Put a 3.50 pulley on so now it's at 13-14lbs boost. Prob go back to the track before the end of the year , see what she will do.
