Project Corvette

If nothing is wrong and it's just how it is, would you think about running a smaller pulley?

Not sure if I would do that but possibly if all checks out next year, or I could have it tuned without the restrictor or get a different sized restrictor to open up boost a couple psi.

Got the front plate remounted and started working on the fender vents, will have to refine that later on with something sturdier than window screen.

Hopefully will drop it off to get the speedo checked out tomorrow.

Before going the pulley down route, look into either removing the restrictor, or getting a different sized one, since that would free up some efficiency in the setup. The fact your boost is tapering off, with a centrifugal, tells me right away that you have too large of an intake restriction.

Exactly what Im thinking too on such a large motor, that is probably why the SC doesnt make power to redline, if there are no boost leaks or belt slips. Still havent heard back from East Coast supercharging yet on their thoughts but ill update when I get more info! They did state that this supercharger should be able to support 1k hp, so not really sure if my theory is correct.

I should probably update this. Getting a bit of spring fever coming on, since its already February!

Ended up detailing the car in the fall and made it to the last Cars and Coffee in October, looked a lot better than before.

In late October I finally had CJ Tunes in St. Paul tune the car and dyno it on 93 pump with the restrictor removed It made 9PSI vs. 4PSI and a slipping belt when it was broken in on the dyno at DRM (504whp). CJ's tune was far superior, car ran like butter on the way home and he fixed various issues he found. Results from CJ: 715whp/669wtq. Amazing!

Unfortunately the alternator died while on the dyno and I ended up just limping it home after picking it up from him. Waited 2 weeks for a new alternator and it came damaged, so I had to reorder. By the time I received another one, it was the end of November and the car was in storage mode with the alternator removed.

Plans for spring:
Replace alternator and keep putting break in miles on it.
Replace the crappy invo rear tires with something a bit stickier.
Possibly get a front lip and side skirts
Detail it once again

Cant wait to start it back up again. It was a beast with 500whp... cant wait to feel the difference.

WOW! Why the short pull 008? Just a power pull after it cooled down?

Powerband is flat, I bet it is a handful and a hoot to drive when you get to this spring!

fuuuccccc that's some sick power.

Nice! Good timing too, I'm watching a Novi supercharged C6ZO6 on Smoking Tire right now. I better go work on my car a bit before I start thinking about Vettes again. :D

YeAaa! Just imagine maxing out that little Paxton on some good fuel... but I'm sure you'll have enough traction problems now even with drag radials haha. Very nice comeback for this vette!

Oh and das noble wants a race. Some day. You will guarantee take off after 100mph

He ended up tuning on the dyno because he couldn't get the car to hook on street under 100mph. So he did a few pulls on the dyno, the #2 run was basically a baseline. Im not sure why he didnt make a full pull, and I really wish he logged boost and AF. Maybe I can contant MAP where he had it done and see if they saved the full logs.

I dont plan to do anything else, more than content with the outcome of this project haha. Just a couple visual mods and cruisin time!
