Well, I'm learning more and more how costly upgrading to this power is. Now my water pump came apart at the hub due to the added pressure of the SC through the belt. Of course, I have to upgrade to better than stock.
Ordered an Evan's LSx high flow pump that flows 20% better than stock and actually cools banks 7-8 during high RPM pulls. The pulley is Billet so it shouldn't come apart like the stocker did. Its $680 just for the pump On the bright side, I will be gaining an increase in power since the engine will be running cooler.
Anyway, the poster of that video also has a video of some revs I did at the request of people around at C&C. Will link it when he posts it sometime later for your listening enjoyment

you better!
and ONLY $680!?!?! At the level of power you're making it ain't gonna be just a spark plug and oil change here and there...you're at a point where all your weak spots will slowly present themselves. Shoot, imagine if you didn't start off with such a strong and reliable platform for FI!

So I showed up late to C & C this past Sunday, but met up with a few friends, including Omar (the guy who filmed the previous vid I posted).
Since the parking lot was closed/empty, it was a good time to give the guys some entertainment and work on launching this beast. Getting better

Damn, I keep missing out on all of these coffee and car meets. I'm in the cliffside park area. Would love to attend on of these and meet up with you and the others! Car looks and sounds amazing!

haha....sounds like one and has the power to back it up
I think the last time I saw you at a meet was that AZ Eastside meet back in 2009 or 2010 when I 1st got this car. Crazy how time flies! Yea, you should come out to these Bergen County Cars and Caffe events. It's crazy the rides that are there. I'm often in Edgewater with the girl/friends, so give me a honk if you see me around

We should hang out soon. Shoot me a PM on the next coffee and cars. I still have the TL with more work done. Mostly engine bay work with the blower and got my Works redone (new color and bigger lips).

This guy is a former Mustang owner. Sorry D
That 1st one *might* be considered unprofessional parked in the physician parking lot of the hospital
BTW, looking back at the vid, I calculated a 3.X 0-60 sprint and that was with bogging the launch and losing traction at the upper RPM's of 1st subsequently banging off the rev limiter (which is around 60). Perfect launch and traction, I think 2.X is possible
What also surprised me was how loud it was from the highway! Not sure how I feel about that.....
Thanks again guys for the feedback.

Good morning Buddy! Thank you for the invite on coffee & cars. It was a pleasure meeting up again, since the last meet. Car sounded wicked! As you were leaving, you caught everyones attention with the exhaust tone. Sounded absolutely brutal man! Hope all is well with your father. I have to find another way to upload that video I took.

Thanks "J" (even though I know you hate the one initial name calling)
Here are some recents of the other 50% of the car
Any other comments/suggestions? I think I'm REALLY DONE this time with any more mods. I mean it@!!!
(you can see the sub set up behind the seat on this one angle)

Thanks Ross, I agree it would be a sweet touch. But, the cost+ pain in the ass: benefit ratio is a bit too high.
I would LOVE these. What do you guys say??
C6 Corvette 2005-2013 Carbon Fiber Headlights - Fully Assembled (Pair)
Any other recommendations/comments/suggestions?

I never understood why they did a pure clear lense with body matched headlights. I would do matt blacked stock heads way before dropping that kind of money for CF ones.
It would also be one of the first things I'd do to that car.

I'm sorry to hear too, man...and thank you. I wouldn't have mentioned what it was publicly, that's for sure.
And don't be so hard on yourself and the type of man he was...you carry that torch and pass it on to your kids too.
Anything you need to chat about, you know we're all here.
