Default Badass vette

I didn't race him (and wouldn't want to) but I saw a pretty badass corvette this weekend. It was a Z06 witha 408 built shortblock with worked heads and a cam, and a DS-1C intercooled procharger. They were setting it up to run 4 PSI at first, and ramp up after that. He said they already made like 500+ with 4 PSI and the old stock LS1 shortblock, and he was hoping to turn the boost up later and make upwards of 800 horsepower.

It's funny yopu mention that. When I was having work done on my car, I saw 9 other C5/C6 vettes on the lifts. All of them were getting some kind of FI system. STS turbo, ATI procharger, and Maggies too. Wouldn't quitecall them sleepersbecause peopleexpect them to be fast butthose things are fast. One guy came in to pick his up and threw me a couple of revs. That damn near shook the ground!

I hear Kenne Bell is in the works with a supercharger that will fit under the stock hood which should be availible sometime in the spring of 2007. All others currently availible that I've heard need a hood swap.

I raced with these guys last season http://www.vettepieces.com/. There a purple/white vette ( here's his car http://www.vettepieces.com/customer_...r_hp_rich.html)that was running 9sec. flat in the 1/4 letting off a few hundred feet before the finish line so that they wouldn't kick him off of the track for not having a full cage. Our track is at like 5900 ft. also, could you imagine it at sea level? Check out their videos.
