We talked about it. The F2 is an easier deal under the hood of the Vette. I am gonna plumb the A2W IC in and step back to see what it makes.

We all know the F2 doesnt have **** on the EZ94 but its a change and change is good.

Some parts are rolling in now. I recieved the Cartek Flip Drive kit and the ARH 2in. Primary Header system with 3in x-pipe, New Comp Cam is in (Solid Roller). Still waiting on the F2 setup and the motor to get finished. Our new Circle D converter should be in shortly as well. We are shipping our transmission out of the C6 to FLT to get there Stage 7 upgrade done to it. The actual power this setup will make could be done with the F1R headunit, but we did not like that we would be maxing it out, this is why we went with the F2.This will leave us some room for later.

They are running 9.20's with the tranny I am getting.Some have been running low 9's for 3 years without issue. This isn't a drag car by no means. Just a tire spinner. A few are making a little over 900rwhp as well, so something must be working.
