Thank you!!! We wanted to do a little something different with this Vette, so we were thinking outside of the box! Interior is not finished yet, but it came out good so far!
Love your screen name..That's us! Our DDs are Silverados!

That is just incredible. You really left no stone unturned. Obviously that car is destined for a track trip or two!! What kind of power do you think you'll actually be able to put down on the street with that? I would think that the power it could make would be in excess of 1000 rwhp. I will be copying your setup when I win the lotto!

Thanks! At this point, I've got quite a few more things to button up before the tire choice. I'm looking at 18/19's for race (I have a set of stock C6 Z06 rims - but I may go with some forged 3 piece rims) on Mickey's or Racemasters. For show, I really like the 360 forged and HRE rims. Ultimately, I've got to get the widebody done!

Thanks. I obey all posted speed limits Truthfully, it will be detuned for the street. Other configs will be set within the boost controller. Anything with this kind of power is dangerous, and I would never put others (or myself) in harms way.

Hopefully, the initial phase will be completed before Christmas. However, I've got to get some break-in miles done before the SD tune. So, it may be Jan/Feb for the good stuff to start happening. Thanks for the props on the build!
