Got a couple small things addressed today
- Changed the stall in the converter and got the tranny back in
- Pulled and checked all the plugs all look good so far
- Made a couple pulls to test the turbo spooling and it spools now
- @ 4400rpms we're seeing 9-10psi
- Installed the vents and some other little stuff to finish off the dash, still need to install the center console

Couple things that need to be addressed
- There is a 75 -100 degree spread in some of the header tubes, not sure if its design or what but there is a difference
- Not sure but the front blow off valve does not seem to be opening up, may need to run a dedicated line for each

I dont know if i agree with being in the car to set pre load on the anti roll bar. When i did that (set at zero with me in it) when it picked the front tires up it would try to go over the wall on the left, and kept doing that untill i set it up without a driver in it, now it goes straight as an arrow....just a warning

Thanks, we've got a pretty good chassis advisor if not one of the best in the business right now.

We've got most of the suspension set correctly, still need to adjust the sway bar and springs for ride height. Pretty much everything is ready for our next outting.

We changed the brake pedal by moving the arm up 1" and really has helped out with the brakes. Now we can footbrake the car and build 7-8psi before we grab the transbrake and get ready to leave. We plan on finishing up the remainder of the suspension wednesday morning and if we get done in time we'll head over to the "War on Wednesday" race @ MIR for some more shakedown passes. We'll definitely be at the friday "Real Street" Race @ MIR.

Twin 106's would make a serious statement, "like move bitch get out the way" I'm going to try twin 88's or 91's, not as cool as a big ol 106 though Biggest I have seen so far is twin 101's on a 600" motor made something like 3500 hp or so. My ***** haven't grown enough yet to try that much power

I found the link, http://www.annettesummer.com/corvette.html

I'll go to twin 106s as soon as I can run 60# of pressure ontop of the wastegates and get down the track.
