Jason, do you know were I can pick up one of those tethered cords to connect switches mounted to the steering wheel to the dash. I need a coiled wire for low-amperage switches. It's the one shown on page 15. Thanks!

Is that gold? I know it acts as one of the best heat repellant, but that's bad ***.

Its tedious and makes some things unusable. I wouldn't recommend it.

Yes, it is. And yes, it is.

I guess a topflight WC car is near 200,000. This car could have 250+ into it.

As he said it makes the factory lense useless. I have a set of C6 lights I'm molding on my ws6.

You have to cut the lense out. Even heating the light assembly isn't enough to help separate the glue between the lower mold and the top lense.

Basically you're left with the inner painted portion of the light, and all the goodies. The rest of the light ends up being junk.

Jason: just a recap, the heads appear to be ported L92 with stock valves and the intake L76. The throttle body looks stock. Are the injectors stock also? These parts support 633hp...

Awesome Corvette and build up. It is safe to say that short of winning the lottery I will never be able to afford a build like that. Awesome none the less.

Jason,

Any chance of getting an in-car video showing how that Hollinger transmission shifts?

That would be awesome!

What clutch is in that car again? 5.5" or 7.25"? Since there are no rules, I imagine the hot ticket would be a 5.5" 3 disk carbon/carbon.
