Looks good man. Like others have stated id look at the fuel again when she hits the road..... The street loads it way different.

Im glad somebody else is having luck with O-Ringed heads and copper gaskets.

My new setup is the same, but with two O-Rings.

Get her to the track and see what she will do.

I figure, better safe than sorry. Cost a lot less to do it right the first time.

Kyle, it would seem the gaskets are holding up great. I have seen some heavy nitrous applications using the same setup. Did others have problems ? Perhaps its hit and miss.

As for the fuel system, I am only at 60% Injector Duty with a 50psi base pressure, so I am sure the system won't have any problem keeping up. I have seen single bosch 044 pumps holding upward of 800rwhp with meth injection kits. Did you guys find limitations I have not heard about ?

thats a shame man!

just thought as PTK/S seems to have fallen of the face of the earth that you might want to set up and take over has the king of the top mounts!

like you say though there need to be alot of intrest. would love to see it in production though.

I would guess with the value of the Corvette C5 dropping, there would be more people who could afford extensive mods. But on the flip side, the economy is a bust, and the performance market is not what it was 5 years ago.

Very nice set up, I was going to use twin GT35R's on my build, until I sold it that is. Atleast I know those things would have supported my goal of only 800rwhp on pump gas.
