Wanted, Z06 Killer! What to do; Evoms or Protomotive?

Definitely let us know how it goes with runs, as I'm curious to see where it falls. The only modded Corvette time we currently have on our 60-130 list is a twin-turbo C5 Z06 (APS Turbo, no cats, stock muffler) that made 573 rwhp @ 9.5 psi and ran a 7.56 with 1 shift.

So you know about the LG Dyno queens also!

All the above is true when it was not in the shop. I think GM has fixed their oil pump issues, roof panels, rear half shaft breakage problem and many others. However, I was just disappointed in so many problems.
The clutch and the programming are actually designed to either reduce power or release (clutch) to reduce warranty claims (wear and tear on drivetrain).

I guess you never took a trip up to houston, I for sure there are some guys there that can do more than hang, of course I dont know how close CC is to Houston either.

*correction* It was part of a piston and most of the spark plugs and other random crap. Looking for the video of it right now.
*Final Edit* http://www.spdkilz.org/Video-Audio/C.../C6Z06Boom.wmv (Notice the sparks coming out the exhaust at first, those are pieces of the plugs, then boom). They tried spraying a 350shot and the motor was not to happy about it
I think they finally got it lined out on a 300 or something.

Now at the track it was a total different story. The car was on CCW's with Goodyear slicks and had Stoptech brakes on the front with race pads. The car was only hampered by my ability. Oh my God fast. Until it broke repeatedly
