Eh CC brakes are great and all but a BBK would be better cost wise. A set of pads for CC brakes is $1k

After first day of dyno pulls with 93 Octane pump gas I got 698rwhp with 22* of timing. I will be draining the tank monday morning and going with C16 so I can put some timing in it to see where the final numbers are at. I am shooting for 730rwhp, which for a Naturally Aspirated setup will be pretty incredible.

Yes, the twin throttle bodies are wired directly into the PROEFI box. The factory computer is still on board to control factory gauges. This car will have the luxury of having a switch the customer can hit to change from pump gas tune(for weekend cruising) to race gas tune (for the track).

Definitely the strongest Naturally Aspirated Corvette LMR has built to date! We have a GTO being assembled now with a very similar setup. Will be interesting to see those results with a little smaller cam shaft.

Will post up dyno videos and graphs beginning of next week.

Sick setup! Who built the manifold? Does it fit under the stock hood?

Manifold built here in Houston. We have a carbon fiber hood going on the car for clearance. I will post pictures and videos once car is 100 percent completed.
