Default New set-up for the vette

I went to ECS for a pulley lol, just not an underdrive pulley. I got their SC600 Paxton Novi 2000 kit installed 1 1/2 weeks ago. Final numbers are 8psi, 494 hp/490 tq. It feels WAAAAYYYYY faster. I can't believe it. So hopefully everything will hold together thursday when I go to atco, well if it doesn't rain.

Here are a few pics.

I saw you posted that you may be going on the Tony Luke's cruise, are you still attending this? I've been considering a similar setup for the 03Z (A&A Kit) but I would love to see what I could expect from the car first!

And that ECS kit looks GREAT!

Yes, it was just a blower install. Still stock internals, LG street headers, offroad X pipe, magnaflow exhaust, stock 3.15 gears. That's all my mods.

I didn't get any before numbers. I wish I would have.

Hey Alex, yeah it's on the FAR back burner right now. It needs alot of little things and the vette's new set-up was a little more appealing lol.

Just be careful on the tranny? Word has it the stock auto trans doesnt hold up well with the blower and drag racing. Looks awsome and you will love F/I world.
