Default 2012 Corvette GrandSport E-Force build

Hey guys,

The car arrived direct from the dealer with only 38 miles on the clock!
We are going to be doing a lot of exciting modifications to the car including cam upgrade, heads, E-force supercharger, and ZR1 carbon parts. Stay tuned as we fully transform this 2012 GrandSport!


Arriving to the shop





On the dyno


Odo


Already on the lift



Engine coming apart


New 2012 manifold and mid pipe



Engine is now stripped down.

-Heads are off to be ported, and the new LG G9X2 (developed from the ZR1) has now been installed.

Blower accessories will be going on next until the heads are finished.
