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.
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...
Thanks man. All my buddies drive Vettes so I try to see how my car stacks up whenever I get the chance. I’d like to throw a Gen3R on at some point and make use of the piston/rod upgrade I did. If I can make around 800-900whp, I should be able to keep up with most of what I run into.
^ Man knows what’s he talking about.
A wot box + a good tire on the street should get the job done. Might be time for a drag pack if dig racing is your race of choice.
While I agree a Gen3R would make all the difference in the world, he should still be able to put the hurt on a stock C7Z with his current mods.
Your 14’s lighter than my 09. I’ve got similar mods + the same blower and I got out on a C7Z 4 races in a row.
It’s not even close from a roll. Here’s my ‘09 GT500 with a trinity swap vs a C8.
Edit: For reference, I put down 570whp/590wtq on a Mustang dyno. YMMV.
*EDIT - Just found a car with a quarter of the mileage for $4k more.

Any specific things I need to look for when purchasing a relatively low mileage Termi? I'm looking to fix my 5.0, set it back to stock and pick up this Cobra STAT!
Hey guys, I don't drive a Termi ('15 5.0 with bolt-ons and E85) but it seems like this is where I would get the most answers since a lot of Terminator guys run the wot-box.
My question is - what can I do to get this thing to bang and backfire between shifts? The no-lift shift feature seems to...
Now, I'll say first and foremost I do have probably one of the louder exhaust combos on the market - Corsa Xtreme and MAK Cat deletes.
So I've had a few silly complaints from surrounding apartment complexes with people accusing me of doing 90 up a 25mph hill. Yeah, right. They insist that it...
Finally picked the car up after getting the RXT + steel flywheel combo installed. The pedal feels much better than stock, feedback and pressure are consistent through the whole range of motion.
I'm now experiencing a new issue however;
The car is very difficult to shift into 1st and 2nd...
Hey guys, I'll try to keep this as short as possible.

Last Wednesday I parked my car on a dirt road to attend a concert and while exiting, I noticed that my left rear tire had gone flat. I limped the car about a mile and a half to the nearest gas station to add air and...
