Glad that car is finally running and running hard from the looks of it 
I agree with those that mentioned calling England Green out on CorvetteForum. Your situation was ridiculous.

JK, I really appreciate it and thanks for the chats. Josh seems to be a true gearhead and has these C5/C6's dialed in at the track. I'll be up there a couple times in the next 6 months and will have to give you a shout.
Glad to hear u got it going Mark..And yeah 5 Liter Eater is the MAN! Good #'s!! put a 100 shot on it and go drag some ***!
Wally is BigTurkey on most sites and i agree that he is a really good guy and tuner..you can also call him "the asain persuasion" lol
Call me Marl,you owe me a ride!!

You're busting my *****, Mike.
I'll stop by soon and chat with you if you have a minute. I need to pick up a stock balancer since I borrowed Jeff's. Thanks, and yes, Tiago, it is "low boost" according to your standards.
Just like your car, David.
I look forward to meeting you the next time I am in town.
Not quite. I'm still at the bottom of the food chain, but I'll do my best to work my way up. You owe me money, son. I'm going to bring over Bully's avatar picture and collect soon.
An auto blown 5.0 vs a stock rear end M6 vette in the 1/8? That's just funny, Maddox. Not going to happen. I'll take the 1/4 race if you give me a 1/2 mile race. That way we can each get our race. Who said I have a plate kit, Jeff?
I look forward to seeing how my underpowered car can do against your car. The YSI sure would be nice to have, but I don't mind the small blower.....For now...I have moved on and am happy where I am at. Other people can decide who they use in the future. I'll be transistioning from having anybody work on my cars to doing it all myself with the help of friends in the next 1-2 years. That doesn't just include my fun car, but my work van and family cars. Just better to do it yourself if you can. I've learned a ton from Bill, Joe, Wally and other guys lately. I miss turning wrenches like I did back in high school/early college.
Big thanks to Inspector12(Jeff), Bill for all the help and work, and Keith for the tires. See you all soon at the meets and race track.

I'm just pulling your strings. I ran this same blower, went to the SL2200 and now the YSI.
My 1500 made 750rw which was pretty killer. The 2200 netted me 850rw.
We all have had our problems on building cars and I have had my share along the way.
Have fun with it and yes, I look forward to coming out so I can bust some more *** again.

Jeff, what were your thoughts on the 2200? A waste of money?. It appears to be more expensive than the YSI is, but doesn't quite have the capability of the YSI. I think a Novi 2000 head unit on this car with a 125 shot should be maxing my setup out for street driving. 825rwhp on boost, and probably 900-950 on spray. I don't have a wide booty on this car and don't want to run Hoosier drag radials. My tires are 295/45-17's, which are as tall as your tires, but lack the width. I can't go any wider than this with the height, I've already rubbed the tires pretty bad and had to raise the car up in the back.

Mark, to be quite honest with you, keep the 1500 and hit it with a 125-150 shot. and hope it hooks 
The 2200 was a great head unit but I overspun it and being a self contained head unit, it did not have the HD bearings and it slung bearing pieces everwhere. I would rather go with the oil fed HD race bearing head units like the YSI IMHO.. The 2000 is built for the C5s..

I'll give you your race soon at HMP. Let's race until Jan.

I am going to head up there after work today to check it out and see where it's at.
I'm hoping to run 10.2s-10.3s in it's current setup with the addition of skinnies. I have a smaller pulley sitting at home if I really really need to run quicker
