    A new adventure begins

    Hello All, It is with some regret that I announce that my GT is gone. We put it on a truck yesterday, and a different car will arrive in a few weeks. I loved my GT and I had a great time doing the mods and playing with the car - there is no doubt the GT is one of the best-responding cars to...

    Total timing - how much?

    What do these engines like? Seems like many with the Whipple at 19 lbs boost are running 18 to 19 degrees total advance (WOT) on their pump gas tunes (91 octane). My question is how much timing does the engine like on 100 octane gas? 22? 24? More?

    My 1st Whipple Dyno Results

    Sorry if this sounds odd, but I was initially a little disappointed that my car "only" made 696 RWHP (SAE)... After all I am running the 21psi pulley (at mile-high altitude) and I sort of expected to make about 19psi and about 775 corrected RWHP - see EDIT below. After the dyno pulls we found...

    Whipple Update

    Just fired her up for the first time! No explosions, no terrible noises, no leaks! I'm so excited I simply had to post, BUT I did fire off a PM to Bill (Shadowman) with the status BEFORE I posted this. So far all is good, but I have not driven her yet. Have to put the subwoofer back in, and...

    And So It Begins:

    The GT goes under the knife today, to install this; I apologize for the Brand X plate in the background... but only a little. I want to thank Shadowman who graciously said he did not mind if I went with a custom finish similar to his, although I changed things up a little. And I want to...

    Heat Gun & Vinyl Side Stripes.... Help!

    OK guys, I am going to remove my vinyl side stripes. Primarily because they are a bit ragged behind the front wheel, and the driver door rubs it big time when fully opened (on the wiring harness, which I will have to figure out how to "move" just a tad to prevent the rubbing). Anyway, I would...

    To drive the car, or not to drive the car...

    that is the question. Have tomorrow off! Driving 3 hours to see good friends for the weekend. Do I take the "soccer van", or do I take the GT? The road might not be "perfect". The weather might not be "perfect". But I am guessing that both will be damn close...! I might even get a...

    Please help with torque spec for blower?

    Will someone who owns a service manual kindly provide the proper torque spec for the bolts which secure the blower to the intake (I know, eventually I will get around to purchasing the manuals)? Thanks in advance!

    Intercooler coolant loop question

    Might be a dumb question, but what circulates the coolant in the intercooler loop? Is it forced circulation? After driving the car last night for about 45 minutes I put my hand on the engine coolant tank and of course it was hot to the touch. The intercooler tank was cool to the touch, so I...

    My Exhaust Saga

    I received My Kinetic exhaust system Saturday morning via FedEX. I spent the day installing it (11 hours...). It is a very nice piece, well made, nice finish, with good hardware. I used some hints that have been posted here, to install it by myself, without removing the clamshell. I was also...

    New Owner, and 1st Question

    Hello, I am the new owner of Red '05 #159. Car is used, with 4700 miles. I know a few owners here, and some of you may know me from Corvette Forum (traded my C6 Z06 towards this GT). I am sure I will have plenty of upcoming questions about my new used car. Was checking out two friend's...
