Done!!
Done!! KB is on. All I can say is HOLY ****. I don't have my hood yet (it gets here tomorrow) but we buttoned it up and took it for the first drive an hour or so ago and it is absolutely insane. The is no torque "curve"... it's just torque, period.

Can't wait to see a graph posted. You probably have Tq numbers around 600 to the wheels from 2500 rpms all the way 6000 rpms, not sure what she peaks at. Just guessing because I don't know what all is done to the car, but with a KB on it does it matter. A KB Corvette is just plain scary.
I am curious though, what kind of driveline upgrades did you do???
I am using an Exedy twin plate clutch, cf drive shaft, and DTE stg III rear end with support brace for those high rpm shifts. I was told the brace is worth every penny and then some, pay a little now, or a lot later.
Again, sick car, now put her on the rollers so we can drool over your numbers.

No numbers yet anybody 
that's been the #1 question on every forum. it'll be a couple weeks on that since it's going in for paint on monday.
it's 100% stock as of right now. i read around before a spent the money and saw plenty of people that had been running 500+rw on these entirely stock with no issues. plus i know i'm not really going to drive it hard, so i'm not all the concerned. the first thing i plan to buy is the brace though. for $400 you can't go wrong.
