I took it to late model racecraft in Houston. I wasn't impressed. They build some badass cars but I wasn't there to spend $30000 so they screwed me around. I wasn't going to pay them $97 an hour for somthing I could do myself. So I brought my car back and fixxed my boost issues myself. I already payed for the tune so I took it back and they tuned it. I'm not going back so if I need one in the future maybe. I would like to make a trip to mv and check out your shop sometime. It would b nice to pick the brain of anouther LS fan.

I heard there is a silver procharged c6 that doesn't make it out of the garage very often. It's nice to know there are other non yellow midlife crisis vettes out there.

Depends on what kind of mood I'm in. I have 5 lb springs in my waste gates. Most of the time I leave the boost controler off, because frankly sometime I feel my car should have a safety. I see no need in running around with the hammer cocked. That's how people shoot themselves in the leg. Besides 10lbs is only a button push away.

You going to make it to the Texas Mile in October - We'll be out there with a heads cam G8, CL55 AMG, and BMW M5, and a couple other AMG and maybe some vettes.

Thats why I bought me car. I will be there I don't know if I'm going to run. I hit a deer with my motorcycle in may and broke the shit out of my arm. I'm a little short on cash to finish the odds and ends to get my car ready to make a 190 mph pass. If I don't pay Citizens some money soon they might break my legs. I was off work for 3 months. People always tell me how dangerous motorcycles are but no one ever warned me how dangerous deer can be.

It only took 15 hours to fill u when it opened on the 15th.
Too hit 190mph your going to need around 700-800rwhp to hit it without a tailwind.

I'm not quite there. I really don't know how fast it will go in the mile. I can't wait to find out.

If you have a stock motor should be around 500rwhp at 5psi (will go about 175mph) at 10 psi your about 600 rwhp (will go about 181mph). This is assumes normal Goliad conditions of a slight head/cross wind.
Been doing this since 2004. Hopefully I will have mine ready for March. 210mph and 1100 rwhp is the goal.

1100rwhp I need to make a trip out to your shop. It sounds like your the guy to talk to about the mile.
