Default Our Little Project Is Complete...

2005 C6
Almost miled out at 2500 miles

We put a couple things on
- Procharger *7.5 PSI*
- Blower Cam
- Longtubes, Offroad X, Stock Catback
- 3.90 Gears, Built Diff, 3000 Stall
- Cobalt Boost & Fuel Pressure Gauges
- 60 Lbs Injectors & Boost-A-Bump
- 315/30-18 BFG Drag Radials and C6 Replica's from Tomz Wheels











Car drives and rides around great. Can't wait to get the differential broken in properly so it can get strapped down to the dyno then off to the track

We're hoping for the 600 RWHP range and low 11's. We'll see soon enough!

-Straightline Performance-

Great project! I've seen lots of Prochargers, but I would love to see a shot from the back with the 315s on them and how much they stick out from the fender. I'm assuming they are 18X11 wheels?

Thanks a bunch for posting those! You're right on the 18X11 on the repros, I went back and looked at Tom's site. That looks great, and I've been trying to figure out which way to go on the drag tire/wheel combo, so thanks again for the help!

What differential did you go with, and what brand converter?

Its a vigilante converter - i believe its the only available at this time. The diff is a stage 4 DTE. It has a 3.90 gear in it.

The Yank is out too. Those are the only 2. I'm having a Yank 3200 put in mine in a couple weeks. Can't wait to see some performance numbers. If you can get traction, you have a 10s car. Some guy over on Corvette Forum posted a 10.65 with a procharger (no cam) at 9psi (short stock block too ). Damn...nice choice on the diff too.

Should be a 10-sec car with a little traction. Nice work!

I have to echo Nine ball on it should be a 10 second car. 11's guaranteed, low to mid 10's should be no problem at all. Good luck, and the car looks so sweet with the little droplets of rain on it. Can't wait to hear what kind of power she lays down on the DYNO. Good luck, and keep us up to date.
