I wouldn't worry about that loss. You can drive your car on the street and run pump gas, what's he doing besides trailering and running race fuel?? You have got the baddest damn street legal Corvette I have seen in some time. Good luck on continued success at the track. Out of curiosity how much more boost can the STS make??? I saw 13 lbs I thought.....could you beat that guy with a few more lbs of boost???? Good luck and awesome try against a track only race car.

My car still has the stock bose stereo , cruise control , gets 24mpg on the highway , I took the A/C compressor off the car when it was 6months old and I was still living in Florida , I never used it , it's a performance car to me , not a luxury car .

Thanks , I take a lot of pride in keeping my car a street car , my single turbo system was at it's max at 13lbs , mainly due to the size of the turbo(76mm) and a small front mount air to air intercooler , I am stepping up to a little larger (88mm ) turbo and the biggest intercooler I can fit in the front of the radiator , my system is also limited by the tubing size , but to keep the car a street car , there is no other option other than cutting the car up , taking out the gas tank , and running bigger tubing through an air to water intercooler with the tubing running inside the car , at that point it's pretty much a " race only " set up , but the performance increase is significant .

With the new turbo , intercooler and a transbrake that just became available for the electronic overdrive transmissions , I should lay down an 8.99 pass in the future , we'll see , I'll be happy with consistent low to mid 9's and 150+ trap speeds .
