Got the new tubing in so the blower can actually breath now and it runs great! I took it to the track last weekend and it was on a new best pass for sure until it blew the tube off before the intercooler... which was fun. Right at the top of 3rd gear it blew off and the engine shut off... though I didn't realize it till I hit 4th and the rear was locked up after I let go of the clutch. But still, I coasted to a 13.0 at 100.00 even.

Fixed it all and am heading tonight to the track again. Last time its open until January so I gotta go even though I won't hook. Im more looking for the MPH to be way up! During the down time I need that DTE brace to come in (they said 2 week backorder and its been 3 now!) so I can get that in and launch on some ET Streets.

Also, anyone heard of EFI Live? We know a tuner in Melbourne, FL that said he could put a tune in the Vette w/ EFI Live.

EFI Live is good stuff. I have a very good tuner friend, but we are just south of Jacksonville Fl. If that's not too far, I will hook you up.

Yep, need that tune.

I did a lil better last night running a 12.600 @ 116.2 w/ only a 2.1 60ft. and feathering it thru 1st, 2nd and a little of third. Can't wait to get some stickier tires. Also forgot to undo the front sway bar... Im sure that would help out a bit!

Whos the tuner guy you know? Cal Hartline was going to do this tune but if he falls thru, Im up for driving it anywhere!

You are in Florida right? If so, pm me as I know a great tuner there, but they are not a sponsor here.
