Yeah, 2015's are already hitting dealerships so most the 2014's are gone.

That makes sense why the dealership was willing to honor employee pricing then.

That is cool that the mag ride isn't affected by lowering the car. On the C6 design the mag ride would self adjust the height a bit, so if you lowered it, the shocks would just end up over extended. Even 1/2" makes a difference in looks, should be sweet.

Nothing too crazy, but I'm beginning work on a custom tune today with "DiabLew" who is a well-regarded GM remote tuner for DiabloSport.

http://www.diablewtune.com/

More than anything, this is just to make tweaks/adjustments to the canned Diablo AFE 93 tune I'm currently running to maximize it for my exact setup and gas. The fact he includes free retunes for a year is a huge bonus too for when my ported manifolds arrive from MAP :D

I've looked into a custom dyno tune @ LG Motorsports with HPTuners, but I just do not want to lose the flexibility of the handheld and being able to go back to stock, switch to a 91-octane tune, etc. whenever I need. I also like how the Diablo remains invisible to the dealership once you go back to stock (this is a huge plus due to the 5/100 powertrain warranty).

Looking good, I gotta get back down there for a ride!

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

Hurry up and be the 5th MitsuStyle guy to come down to TX this week!

mmmmm......manifold innards look yummy!

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

Now to get them coated for max sexiness!

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

Lew and I have been going back and forth with logs and tunes since last week and now have on my car what he thinks should be the final version. I'll take one last log this afternoon to verify! :D

I've been very impressed with him, he responds to emails/logs with a revised tune practically instantly. It's nice feeling the engine want to pull to redline now instead of dying off.

Back from the coaters:

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

Real fun, you mean FI?

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

Thats pretty fucking glorious

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

Actually, just thinking about this, when the z06 comes out and those guys start upgrading SC's and what not you could probably get the Z06 blower for a decent price.

Are the shortblocks the same on the z06 and the stingray? internals wise i mean.

Maybe different cam?

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

They don't do any clean up work in the collectors?

Love that coating. I gotta get an FP manifold and get that coating on it, they look like piss otherwise. Does it have any heat retention properties?

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

Different motors, LT1 for Stingray and LT4 for Z06. I doubt many people will change out the blower, they had to make a special one to fit under the hood.

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

The coating does have heat retention properties and does a good job of helping to control underhood temps. On my IX & X I coated everything worthwhile and it make a noticeable difference (exhaust manifold, turbine housing, & o2 housing/downpipe), plus retained stock heatshields wherever possible.

2 of the 4 runners had work done in the collector area, but the other two were left alone in the name of runner balancing. Overall flow is up 13.8% and runner imbalance is reduced from 7% to below 1%.

CFM flow by runner:

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

Hanson got it right; I don't forsee many Z06 guys swapping out the blower. Pulley, sure, but doubtful on the actual unit. The blocks started from the same design, but the Z06's LT4 is significantly beefed up to handle 650/650 and still get a 100k mile warranty, plus a bigger fuel system of course. Upgrading a direct-injection fuel sytem is a big hurdle, but supposedly a lot of the Z06 components will swap over to the LT1 for the Stingray guys wanting to make big power. That said, the stock Stingray DI fuel system seems to have no problem supporting 600-650whp.

Now I need to source and intake manifold core to get into MAP's hands...

Manifolds look clean, great choice and great price point.
