There is a picture of it on Cartek's website.There was a video of it when it went 10.84 on Corvetteforum.com,it's probably in the archived topics section.

Just awesome <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" /> I cannot wait to see what it runs in the fall air considering there is still the bigger headers and custom intake to put in. It should be outrageous. Congrats to Mike, and also congrats to Mark and Brent for some kick ass driving <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Julio, you guys done it again <img border="0" alt="[hail]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" />

Job well done, by all involved!!
I wish GMHPT magazine would do an article on this car like they did on Brook's Firehawk. There's a lot of not so usual mods that I know I'd be interested in finding out more about, like the streetable front skinnies used on the car and how they got the 4.10 rear and half shafts to withstand low 1.5x launches in a C5. Also, how about the torque tube? If that's the stock piece, Chevy did a good job.

The motor has LS6 Heads and intake.The cam is a hydraulic roller,I don't know the exact specs,maybe Julio will chime in with the details,what I do know is it idles basically the same as the smaller cam that was in my 408 and idles smoother than some cams I've heard in other 346 C5's at the track,the rockers are stock.The drivability of this car is better than stock.Last week,I drove it to and from E-town and Atco and cruised around the Jersey Shore with it in between.In the mid 90 degree heat that weekend the water temps never went over 183 even after a few blasts out of the toll booths on the Garden State Parkway.I'll probably put 3.42's in it sometime and do some road racing with it.As far as the drivetrain,it's a Cartek clutch,4.10 gears with a hardened output shaft,stock torque tube and half shafts.The drag wheel set up is from Complete Custom Wheel in Daytona Beach Florida,ask for John.If you come to the Corvette Challenge you'll see about a dozen or more C5's running this set up with M/T ET Streets in the back.I will be trying a pair of Hoosier 28-in tires on the car next to see if they help the car hook any better and they should put me closer to my HP peak of 6250,right now I'm going through the traps at 6800 which is too high. <img border="0" alt="[Z06 Corvette]" title="" src="graemlins/z06.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Is the engine resleeved or is it just bored out some. Just wondering since all you say is stroked and don't mention any boring.

Congrats Cartek. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" /> Great runs, gotta love those 10 sec. M6's!
