In this video I install an MSD 2 Step Launch Controller on the C6 Corvette!

I was having terrible consistency issues at the track - and wanted to improve my launches.

In this video I take the Corvette up to the local Xpel Paint Protection Film install - and get the new ZR1 hood wrapped.

I decided to get the hood wrapped to protect the hood paint - so that we can go out on the interstate and test out some of our new systems in the car.

Love that color. And the ZR1 hood is cool, too. I guess. lol

Thanks Jay - that ZR1 hood is 9 pounds - 100% carbon fiber.

The stock hood is FG and around 25+ pounds.

I got it wrapped to protect that stupid cost of paint.

In this video I install a big ol wing.... AKA the Innovative Auto Creations C6.5 Spoiler.

I saw this spoiler in person at Corvettes at Carlisle - and really fell in love the way it looked - especially with the Z07 style winglets.

I am running this spoiler without the wickerbill - but I do have it and can install it at any time.

In this video - I upgrade the Gauge Cluster Surround.

In this video I install a MGW Shifter Assembly in the C6 Corvette.

I was having issues with my stock Z06 shifter assembly - and decided up upgrade to the MGW setup. The MGW setup is a lot tighter - and there is much less vibration though the shifter then the Z06 box had.

In this video - I upgrade the last of the Edelbrock E-Force Cooling system. I install a universal Edelbrock Heat Exchanger that is twice the size of the E-Force unit. This should help cool the IAT's - and allow the system to recover quicker when it gets hot.

We finally got the Corvette back together and headed to our local 1/8th mile track for some test and tune!

Watch the video below for more info.

[bonecrrusher]

I know everyone has been wanting to see what this car will now run in the 1/4.

I took the Corvette over to Zmax Dragway for a Test and Tune - and my first run was only 1/10th off my fastest time last year!

I then ran 3 best ET's ever - all back to back to back.

The last run of the night - I ended up spinning the tires and called it a night.

You will also see in the video my IAT times - please check out the video below for more details!
