Thanks Again Ellis
Thanks Again Ellis Thank you Ellis from taking the time out of your busy schedule to work the bugs out. So it seems like the only problem was the TMD. Too much tq for the tranny to handle.
So now we are back in business, I'll see you guys on Friday to test it out again.
On a side note: Nice ride RollinBlack, I wish that 447 was in my C5 instead of your though.

Ellis is the wizard... 
My car runs great too, no issues on the way home, even opened it up a couple of times and it felt nice. 
I might try taking the dremel to the throttle blade, give more of a rounded finish to the back side (intake side), along the bottom of the blade... see if that helps the blade sticking issue when coming to a stop.

Yea, RollinBlack has got a bad azz Z06, I've invited him to the drags a couple times and think he is going to come out next year. Maybe he can give Ryan a tuff time.
See ya Friday.Robert
Rey, thanks for the compliments. Looking forward to Ellis working out the bugs so I can start to enjoy the car.
Robert, hope to have things running smoothly for next season, then I will need a few lessons from you practiced drag racers
Ellis has got a pretty sweet set-up and I am sure he will get me dialed in soon.

Ok guys take it easy on Perry 
He might be the guy passing you when you are not expecting it and going for the next guy in the middle of the next turn 
Glad it was a good trip home Jason Once you get that TB issue taken care of it should be great!

As far as dropping off a dirty car, I do apologize to Ellis for this.
The Speed Secrets crew washed it for me, thanks!
Normally the car is clean and purdy before it goes out. But after my last road course event I had 8 PSI oil pressure and I only drove the car up the trailer to get home, then off the trailer again at Elli's place. Wanted to minimize any damage to the motor.
Car normaly gets washed before going out even if it rains the next day
