Epic Supercar!

You mentioned that the car isn't fun to cruise in anymore. Is it because of to much power? If so, where do you think the sweet spot should be?

Nice car, build and setup, looks like a lot of fun.

Not too many very high HP LT1 builds being done anymore these days, bravo.

It wasn't fun to cruise in anymore just because of how loud it was. It's never been a track car. It's a street car that sees the track a few times out of the year.

I fixed the issue when I put in the block off plate in the exhaust and quieted it down exponentially, making it fun to cruise around in again. The power level has nothing to do with it. I will say that the gas mileage kinda sucks now as well. I was averaging 15 mpg, and could see 22 ish on the highway. Now I see about 10 mpg average and am lucky to see 18 mpg on the highway. So that takes a little away. It just sucks having to fill the tank almost every time I drive it, and I don't enjoy that.

I'm right with you Ben. It sure is a nuisance when you have to dump $60 +/-
each time you wanna drive the car

Be rid of the spoiler and that may help highway MPG a little bit. Unless your foot is always into boost it doesn't make sense why you are only getting 10/18mpg.
