For some reason I didn't realize you had hit those numbers on pump. That's incredible man, very cool! Good spring plans too, not too overwhelming so you should be able to enjoy it!

Sounds like Knoxville's experience with Carl on his G8. Had driveability issues and especially tranny nonsense but took it to Carl and got it straightened out and it drove awesome afterwards. Seems like Carl knows his shit on GM's.
Very nice results bud, looks like a beast!

That is an incredible amount of power on pump gas for a street car! Very impressive. That is going to be mean beast this spring when you get it out.

Thanks guys! Carl also fixed the Speedometer which wasnt working after I got the car running. There was a wiring issue he traced from the ECM to the dash. Great guy to work with, very experienced and communicates really well.
Forgot about a couple other things I did. Ricer in me had to promote the new engine haha. It wont be getting any other stickers though.

Also got a ProSport Boost gauge and vent pod installed. Fitment was pretty crappy so I had to file it down a lot before install. Looks good enough though.

I really like the C6's gauge setup; exactly as a sports cars should be with all the essentials laid out nicely.

I really like the layout as well, simple, clean and exactly what is needed! Stereo in this car could use some work but thats not a big deal haha.

At least it has the optional navi already! Corvette stereos always have, and always will, suck. The Bose systems are just garbage in them which is odd because the Bose in the Volt is pretty decent. The Bose in the GTR is mediocre at best.

Great numbers on pump gas. Get some sticky tires and put a hurting on some mustangs.
Why did you use the stroker crank?

Yea the Bose in my Terrain sounds pretty good, same in my old audi. Bose are hit are miss for sure. I think they just slap a badge on and call it good lol.

Stroker motor came with the car because it used to be NA. I was hoping to salvage most of the old engine but the block was badly damaged and I didnt want to attempt to resleeve and fix it. I was looking at different cranks so I could stick with a 6.2 liter. That would have tacked on another grand to the motor build when the stroker crank ended up polishing out and being okay.
I still have to post up the old block, cam and clutch/flywheel on craigslist and get rid of that stuff. Anyone want it for a project? lol
