I build ALL my own stuff....everything but machine work or balancing. From washing the bugs off to setting up the ring/pinion or filing the rings...it's ALL me. The Dyno tune is ALL Geoff Skinner, other parameters and trans controller tune is me also. This trans will see at least a couple 8sec passes at some point, just to say it did.
The cam in the car now has over 40* overlap and the brake pedal is just a little tighter on the power-assist. 233/276 @.050 , now that's a split

With that big of a cam I'd think you'd benefit from hydro boost but I know nothing of what can fit in the corvette engine bay.

Have any corvette guys gone to hydro boost? I know we truck guys do the conversion and I just bought my friends truck who did that to his truck. That way you wouldn't have to worry about the power assist. When I was running my big cam I had 6" of vacuum at idle, braking was just stupid.

The cam in the vid eventually came to be known as the "LS7 Striker" and it idled around 950, drivability is a subjective thing, but most would not want to live w/ that in a 6 speed car. Bucking in any gear below 1600rpm unless under load (accel). Playing w/ low rpm timing is one thing, but u can't tune out overlap. However, that cam and even larger drive just fine in a stalled auto, and the bucking becomes a very mild, pleasant surge and then only when idling down the street.
