It also shows how powerful your previous motor was as well!

I see in the tune that the AFR is 1 full point richer in the mid area, I'm sure that is a durability factor.

Watching the C6 Z06, looks like you were legging him out badly already!

You won't be playing nice know for sure.

Can't wait to here the SOTP impressions.

It'll be little leaner when I get done. Shooting for mid 12:1.

The 383 ran real well. It was the most powerful 383 I've seen personally. This one has room to grow. With the same refinement his 383 received, this should pick up nicely.

BTW, oil cooler is working like a champ!

Ed called me on the Bat phone this afternoon. Apparently, the prop shaft in the Cruiser has turned into a jump rope.

Sidenote: How do you like those Sparcos for street use? Looks like there's no seatback adjustment. I assume they hold you in real well on the track? Is there a hole in the bottom for the crotch strap? Very nice build btw.

Thanks - the project is progressing very well - lots of work being done with excellent results! The Sparco Evo 2 Plus are excellent seats that support 5 or 6 point harnesses. I had Piper Motorsports fabricate me a set of custom seat mounts so I could obtain the desired seat angle and distance from the steering wheel for best seat position for me in the car. Between the seat design and harness I basically "wear" the car on the track.

NICE! Thanks ED! You da man Time Trials (TTU) in 2011 - here we come!

How's the new Canton Racing 3 Quart Oil Accusump System working out? I've been looking forward to a trouble-free system with the new 25 psi automatic switch! The T1 transmission cooler definitely works, but now with the cooler placed in a much better location I can expect even better performance in the summer months.

Grats Mike; you have some awesome numbers that car will be a beast at the track.

Let me know if you need a "crew mwmber" for the maiden session in TTU. That is the class I ended up in and placed 2nd for the season in the Texas Region.

Needless to say you will dominate the class

My car's ready also after having the bent prop shaft, slave, et al replaced.

We've got Damon and Mike up for the run and my C6 bud is giving me a ride down so he can talk with the boys about his 57 BB Chevy. Looks like we've got 3 down and 5 back.

False alarm... the C5 is not ready to come home yet - some programming remains to be done. It's 95% done - still working out the F55 issue. Engine, accusump, clutch, radiator, coolers, and tuning is done!

Good things take time.

What happened with the F55, you must have had simulator's in the past?

I'm curious as my F45 is going to be turned off as well & I have had simulator's for 3 years...non issue, other than the excessive number of tie wrap comments from the shop that removed the drive-line.

The F45 and F55 are two totally different animals - the F45 is easy to delete, while the F55 is more integrated and problematic to remove. There are no simulators for the F55 - working through a 'hiccup' in programming to restore the delete. If anyone can figure it out, Ed will.

Shawn, I still haven't received the cam card for the custom grind you installed in my new LS2... I emailed and called George, Shannon and Ed, and left PMs too. Can you take care of this? Thanks, Mike
