This is only the second c4 I've seen with an LSx setup in it. It looks really nice. I want to learn to TIG weld soon.

That's awesome work. I'm assuming you made the brakets for the fuel pressure regulator. Like sluggish said, you will probably have to change the reference for the eboost2, not a really good vacuum source.

The log manifolds took a ton of time to make, just cutting the 1/8 thick stainless pieces was fun enough. They would be very expensive to reproduce.

I did have the car dyno'd yesterday in the heat up at Speedinc. It ended up making 847/wheels at 16lbs of boost

The Vette looked and sounded awesome Randy. The #s I think seemed good for the setup and weather yesterday.

nice to meet you and hope to hear some track results soon

Those "logs" would be about $950 / pair, no coating + shipping. You would have to specify 2.5" or 3" final log size. The SS pipe is expensive. The elbows aren't bad. And the flanges are pricey. I make these for all kinds of different applications. Compare that to a set of custom made SS headers @ $1600-$1800 / pair and they aren't that bad. G

just got back from the track....spent the night. Made a few passes in the vette on low boost, making sure it got down the track. Made 4 passes, and the car went 9.43 @ 146 at 10# boost.
