The thing looks even better in person! Looks like "J" did a good job on the fuel system as usual.

Isnt there another vette sitting around your shop that should put up some good numbers one of these days?

Sounds good, hopefully it'll build boost on the dyno, and not have belt slippage issues.

Me too! We didn't have any belt slippage issues with the old set up, and I am hoping for the same with the new. It has a manual belt tensioner and Jay-Force is a pretty strong individual, so I have faith in the

WTF? I swear I just saw this EXACT same setup at Biff Busby's in San Antonio,TX last Friday night. I recall the car color, same NOS Y fitting/filter, Novi Blower model, and Meth Kit fitting placement. Bunch of guys were gathering around for the Texas Mile in the Vette/Viper Pit. I think 800rwhp is a bit conservative for this setup @ 16lbs. w/meth. kit. Lethal Performance has a similar setup on Danny's (Owner) Vette that would make for a good highway run.

This thing is scary fast!! It feels like 660rwhp it had..at 1/4 throttle! The acceleration is real smooth and can't wait for another 100 miles so I can get it tuned correctly. The guys at G-Force did another great job. She pretty much fought Jay the whole way, but tough love has prevailed! Thanks again guys and will see you later today!
