Damn, you must have seen my VIR road course videos - I thought I make good "Vroom Vroooom" engine noises while on my trailer in the Paddock! It saves me gas and rubber, and is still intimidating to the competition (at least while they're on their trailers)! I also do a wicked "heel toe shifting" sound too! LOL gyrene2003 - Thanks. If you click on the pic in my first post it will take you to a video from VIR on the grand course. I also drive a Mustang GT on the road course - the pony cars are a lot of fun too.

I dont even start my vette up.. I just sit in it in my driveway making engine sounds... My neighbors look at me funny.. but i know its just cause they dont wanna race me.

I'm having them install a Canton Racing 3-quart Accusump system, which should address any potential issues. This project also includes the following items in addition to the new forged LS2 motor and tune:
- RPS Street Twin Carbon clutch and flywheel kit
- DeWitts Performance Aluminum Radiator
- RPM Torque Tube Polyurethane Couplers
- Updated F55 [suspension software] removal

$400 to tow car from VIR back to home after C6 mod on FAST came loose at track. I trailer now. Much more convenient anyway.

Hi Aloha,
Looks like you have an amazing build coming up.
Not to stray off-topic, but would you mind telling me what happened to the 383? And by 5 years of service, how much of that was at track events -- like, how many hours/events did you log?
Thanks

The bottom end (bearings) gave out - eating themselves up and eventually locking up the engine - its difficult to pin point the exact cause of the failure - one theory was momentary oil starvation. It was as if my LS6 383 said, "I've given you all I can and served you well, but its time for me to go to sleep.....forever." No drama. I was at WOT on the front straight of VIR working on another great lap time, when the RPMs started to drop until the engine shut down, requiring me to coast it off Turn #1 for recovery. I did approx. 10 two-day events per year plus driving to work during the summer.
