Smile Almost there on the Vette

Should have it running tomorrow.Do alittle break in and roll it next week
Took alot of work to get the fuel system in under the hood and the F1 looks at home now with the 8 rib setup We plan on having this 100% ready/tuned for Vette/Viper shootout on the 17th.Only problem is that it has a 6 point cage Should be good for atleast 1 pass

Man I'll tell you that F1 looked good in there. Fit like a glove and those pipes lookes huge. He's got the DTE brace on already. He looks ready to roll out 800ish HP.
May be the winter time project on the red vette.

This setup is based off Brent's car.Just it has a bigger H/C ,lower compression and a bigger blower.This year is just the start for it.Next year we are sure the car will be up there on the fastest C5 list
