Sorry for the late posting on these! Many of them were done before the memorial day break and Joe was out of town on a personal manner so we fell behind. Here is some of the recent cars we wrapped up.

-Gene Teves C7Z. We did an LME 416, Maggie 2650 setup almost 3 yrs ago and gave him a combo he could safely road race making 715/670 on straight 91. With the use of the car no longer being that he reached out wanting to take this to magical 1k wheel mark. We installed a full fuel system, dsx atlas port injection, dsx boost control, appropriate pulley combo, id1050x injectors for the port and dialed in the new combo. It now makes 1015/952 through the A8 on 17psi and he has different boost levels based on the mode he is in along with a few additional features.

-Phils 14 C7 has a procharger, headers, msd setup we did in 2021. Wanting to make more on straight 91 he went with a heads/cam package & larger lower pulley. Previously he made 529/505 through the A6 auto, now he makes 675/576 on 6.5 psi. Still straight 91.

-Robb's blue C6 Z joined the alpha family with his new setup we wrapped up last week. I forget the baseline numbers but typically these do around 540'ish stock. Now it makes 557/482 this is still a stock intake manifold car.

-Johns beautiful carbon Z06 had us fix the heads 3 yrs ago and now is ready for more. This go around we did 2'' headers, msd intake, and dressed up a few things. The engine bay on this vehicle is absolutely beautiful and we will post it on our story this week. With the stock cam still it now makes 499 wheel (don't have the graph in front of me to catch tq)

-Brandon's C6 Auto GS came back for a nice bump in power over the previous setup. He has over the years done bumps in power as he got more comfortable. Starting originally with an A&A kit & headers. Then later a cam & flex fuel. Now this round he opted for a higher stall converter, trans cooler, and a more aggressive pulley as he no longer cared about it being able to get ripped on with 91 octane in the tank. When we swapped the pulley we noticed the tensioner on the A&A kit had failed after the years of abuse. So we had them rebuild it and we also noticed the acc bracket for the alternator/power steering was slightly bent at the lower idler. This is something we are starting to see more and more as the years go on. But after we got all that handled it now makes 800 wheel through a looser converter.

-Omars Carbon Z06 wrapped up with his new LME 440 engine. When he originally brought this to us it was apparent something was not right in the engine. He opted to go with an LME 440 setup with our popular alpha package with MSD intake option. Upon tearing down we found clear signs this car had been demoded and most likely had a blower on it at one point. Either way we got him all squared away and now he has a car ready to rip around and it's an absolute joy around town. On 91 it made 590/535 and with the larger cubes it makes all the tq right away down low.

Thank you everyone for all the support and allowing us to do all these wonderful cars for you!! The entire team greatly appreciates it, we don't have the time to post them all and so many come through our doors to quickly. But these are some of the highlights of the past week.

Jp's amazing manual blackwing on the dyno last week after we did one of our H/C packages. He added in a Kong ported blower to go along with the setup.

To see the full video breakdown go to the link below.

From high 500 wheel stock to mid 700 wheel now on 91 octane. These cars are nothing short of perfect in our eyes.

Our first Zr1 just arrived! Will get it baselined and then installing fabspeed high flow cats, titanium catback, & jlt air intake. Not tuning it until he gets more miles on it to make sure its solid first.
