It does. And it’s got cool red and black interior. Easy 100whp gain right there.

Good to know. What bolt-ons and how much power did you make?

TVS 2.3, 2.4 pulley, Manley rods. +0.20 pistons, kooks LTH, catless x-pipe, JLT 123, VMP BAP, stock 13/14 injectors, wotbox, 91oct tune (15* of timing, 6800rpm limiter) and looking to get a dedicated 93 tune or 91+boostane tune soon. Apologies for not accurately listing my current mods. Stock...

*Forgive me if this isn’t in the right section, it’s racing related so I assumed this would be the right place. It looks like one of my buddies is going to be picking up a manual C7Z with minor bolt-ons (Texas Speed CAI, headers and exhaust) and a tune and we’ve been talking some shit back and...

Good to know, thanks. So the JLT 123mm isn’t big enough then? I’m weighing out the cost of upgraded TB and elbow versus saving up for a bigger blower. I’ve got upgraded rods and pistons and I’m going to make use of them however I can. I’m currently sorting out the rear end, tires and brakes...

I’m really starting to question my dyno numbers at this point. I made 570/590 with the similar mods to you + long tubes and rods/pistons. I might have to get on a dynojet to see what I really make.

Noted. Guess it’s time to find one. Anything else I can do to make more power with the 2.3 or is a blower swap the best option

So what’s the throttle body to get and what’s the whp gain versus stock?

17lbs I think. Might be a little more. Tuner and engine builder claimed they kept it “conservative”. How much power is an aftermarket TB good for? @SSSSSSSSSSSSVT - 128mph with just the blower swap or supporting mods? Ideally I’d like to trap 135+ when the car’s done. How do I multi-quote on...

That’ll be the day. Lol @WicK thanks man. I just like racing. I’ll get a run in even if I know I’m getting walked. Edit: Looks like we’ve brought some life back to roadkill.

As much as I’d like to agree with you just to say I make that much power, that seems like an overestimate. For reference, I only put down 570whp/590wtq on a mustang dyno. I feel like if I actually made 750whp+ I’d be pulling wayyy harder and stay closer to the C7 I posted above. I’m not even...

On the subject of GT500’s vs Corvettes, here’s the only L I’ve taken so far. 800whp built auto C7. He’s the one that made me feel like I need more power. lol. He’d get me by roughly 2 cars or slightly more everytime. I don’t think I’d be able to make up the difference with the TVS. I’d like to...

Noted. I glazed over the fact that he’s got stock manifolds I’ve got kooks long tubes and a catless x-pipe. I suppose that makes a difference although I’m not sure how much. I don’t know what TVS swapped S197’s do in the 1/4 and the 07-09’s seem to be the “forgotten” GT500’s so there’s not...

Fair points but I know the driver well, he was on it as best as he could be. I’d like to see how I’d do driving the Z compared to my Shelby but I don’t really trust anyone else driving my car. I also don’t have a clue what my car would run in the 1/4. If the dyno tells me anything, I’m guessing...

Yes, sir. There’s some debate on how hard it is on the motor when using it for the 2-step but it is/was a very common mod for no-lift shift. From my knowledge and personal experience, it allows you to power shift and actually made shifting smoother in my experience. The flames between shifts...
