I went back up there and on the first pull, it made 480rwhp at 5k rpms. The KB Boostapump wasnt engaging right. So after alil tweaking, it finally made 521rwhp/490rwtq.... Granted it was pretty damn cold outside.
On the last pass, we tried leaning it out just alil.... Previous pulls were still in the low 11s. Thats when the motor just gave out and it only made like 450 or 460 to the wheels.... I cant remember exactly. Did some investigating and found out the #8 cylinder had no compression at all and #6 and #4 were very low.
So I decided to sell it isntead of dealing with more headaches....

Yea.... Ive been dailying the Z06 for alil while now. I cant complain though since Im getting 32 mpg with it!!!
I did **** up my whole front bumper though.... A raccoon jumped out in the middle of the road the first night I drove it after selling the Cobra and crakced the **** out of my front bumper.... $19xx to fix it!!
Ive been looking at a few possible DDs, but I just proposed 2 months ago so I have a few other responsibilities first....
It will definitley be a LSx vehicle though....

I could always buy it and sell the SC...... not really wanting to get back to an over board build right now.....
BTW he's asking $1000 less on the GTO Board. $19k
what do i need that for???
I got %50 of the green car yesterday and its more then u thought..
Yeah, he is on VAdriven. I thought about it, but I would need to sell both my cars in order to buy his. And I doubt I will enjoy DD the thing everyday.
I still need to sell my T/A. If anyone here knows an interested party please let me know. I am willing to work on the price. I really need it gone ASAP.

Ed did tune it...
Hey local C5 guys... I'm going to sell my DRM vented hood. Anyone with a stock hood in good shape want to trade + $700 ($900 outright).
This hood is one of the rarest out there for the C5 and it's no longer made. The hood sold for $1100 when new.
I'm putting my car back to stockish then possibly putting it up for sale to move on to a C6 vert.
