+ 1 on the procharger. there is a silver one here in town that is and its supposedly holdin 700+whp

Not with out a built motor of some kind, stock an LS1-6 engine is good for about 550whp on a 2wd dynoguess before oily parts start to get out.

You sure about that? I thought Ryan's (Mr.Raced) Corvette that had a Procharger on it made more than 550whp with LS6? I could be wrong, but none the less his car scooted good with a Procharger. F

For Auto X'ing it might be a little too much with that car though unless you had some sick tires/suspension so you didn't spin out of every corner.

I would drop in a new cam setup (cam, springs, rockers), and make sure it is tuned properly. Then a bit of spray and be done/happy with it. That car makes PLENTY of power for auto-x and goofing around. Maybe pick up an extra ls based motor to build in your spare time.

If you do decide to upgrade the cam this winter, let me know. I would be interested in your valve springs if they are the "yellow" ones.

...(cam, springs, edit)....

Push rods, 3/8" diameter 7.400" long comp cams will work like a champ. Rocker arms are fine unless the center pivot pin is working its way out, I have not seen this yet but that is what to look for. Ryan you know I have a crazy hook up for this, along with the ability to get'er done in 1 day.

Yeah, you better upgrade. The conquest of doom is gunning for your little red corvette.

:p

I've decided to "downgrade" back to stock. Going to keep the parts though, no telling how nuts I will go with a stock car.

Bought my first set of Hoosiers though. From now on all racing occurs on a closed course.

+1 Not worth the hassle and risk of losing your license.

Not sure if you know, but the suburban corvette club will be having an event at BIR next month at a discounted rate. They will have instructors who know your car and can help you get to the limits without exceeding them. Their rate is discounted from the normal BIR rate as well.

I'm guessing something happened that was a little un-nerving??
