The Cobra Jets are also NOT running the 6R80. They come with the good old C4 3 speed auto, straight out of the 60's and 70's. There's also a 2 speed option they're calling a C2, but I'm betting it's...

I've had really good luck with mine. 36000 miles, several hundred lauches, no telling how many roll races in Mexico. I got the whine the first time I took it to Maryland two years ago, but even that...

I've been watching that video for about an hour now. It's very tempting. I will not be swapping over to the 6R80 though. That 1-2 shift bugs me badly. Still leaning towards a 4R70, but looking at the...

In all fairness to HPP, mine ran nearly flawlessly from December to May of this year. What changed in the tune after that is anyones guess, but it changed dramatically. Wouldn't idle steady, had a...

LOL! I resemble that comment! After seeing the times WBT and KDANNER are running, I might just put the KB up for sale and rejoin the N/A ranks.

I did this when it was N/A. Now that it's blown, Z06's are fair game too. When the built engine goes in, ZR1's won't be shit either.

Nope. Rule out some Z06's and the odd ZR1, if you ever happen to run across one, but run of the mill Z51 cars are no problem. The key is, all (OK, most) Vette drivers like to roll race, and for some...

What I'm saying is, numbers don't mean anything (other than showing a quantifiable outcome to modifications performed). 420 is nothing to scoff at, and with a little practice and some sticky tires,...

Much more likely to break something with the extra strains put on the mechanicals. Don't get me wrong, it's still fun to road trip a blown car, you just have to be a little more careful with things,...

And just for the record, for all you guys thinking about a blower of some sort, my car in N/A form was an absolute blast to drive everyday. Even with my bad shoulder, it could rip off mid 11's (my...

JLT CAI, and Pypes muffler deletes are all I had on the car at the time. For the record, the car made 415 in that configuration and running the VMP canned tune. The custom tune brought it up to 435.

Not at all. Plenty of cars out there making more than mine did before the blower. 435 with stock exhaust, long tubes were worth exactly 10 on my car. If I wouldn't have gotten a sweet deal on them,...

I understand the logic, but more money has been wasted buying uneeded parts than probably anything else. It's nice to have a plan and stick to it, although I never have either!

So, knowing full well that you intend to go turbo, you would still buy and install parts that will instantly become useless when you fulfill your plans? The factory exhaust is plenty efficient on...
