I have removed my portion of the posts so as not to junk up Stan's thread any more than I already have. Guess I sort of got caught up in the moment. It is all good!

In my opinion it adds character to a thread and makes for good reading on a rainy day.

Long story,the kenne bell was older and the company really don't support the GM market any more.they seem to have a bad reputation for getting high IAT ..I was having a hard time source parts to do a 8rib conversion so I got frustrated And decide to sell it to help pay for my sons braces.wright after I sold it I ran into a guy who had this magnuson heartbeat on his ls7 corvette with less than 2000 miles on it and was selling it for a good deal,so I jumped on it ..

I wanted to convert my car to drive by wire since I'm running holley efi.i searched and really could find a bracket to use to mount the proper ctsv pedal that holley efi wants you to use.i did find a Detroit speed bracket that works with the corvette c5 pedal .unfortunately the c5 pedal won't work with holley efi..I picked up the Detroit speed bracket to give me an idea where the pedal location should be and to use as a template

Once I found the location of where the foot pedal should be from the Detroit speed bracket I transfer the location to where the ctsv pedal would mount yet still be in the same location .here is the bracket I made,worked out great and was perfectly line up ...
