This all started because a local shop told me I needed a new motor when I didn't. Sent it to Cartek to be told it was fine. Ended up selling the motor anyway and doing the project because the car was already there.

and thats the reason why he came to Cartek, yes its a long way and shipping costs $ but he knows he is getting what he paid for and trusts Cartek because I recommended him, plus Rick and I have been internet friends for years since he had his first c6, he came to Atco and watched tony run his c6 from buffalo and he actually got to see how Cartek goes out of their way to help and custom tune and spend the whole day at the track for their customers. just like this trip to the track

I did put a Halltech on though, they said it was worth about 60hp at the wheels, IDK

I bet it straight up moves. That's a strong motor, especially for only pulling to 7000rpms. I bet it is money well spent as soon as you start driving it. Money may not buy happiness, but it can buy you a badass cartek corvette! Nice build, for sure.

OP, hope it was money well spent... Let me know if/when you meet up w/ Millenium, I'll meet up at a track too if it's possible for me. Typical HCI LS7 here putting down 583/526.
