Re: Project Corvette

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.
