That C2 looks so good except for that air filter.

Off topic I know but does anyone recognize the AC bracket used on this vette?

[nitrorocket]

Good question???

[CarlC]

Thanks guys!

I'm referring to the picture at the top of this page. It is a purely after market piece. Sorry if it wasn't clear which picture I was referring to.

Nice Andy!

Did you get the pulley wrap problem fixed?

Nice Andy!

Did you get the pulley wrap problem fixed?

I think so, but the dyno session will give me a better idea of what's really going on. I'm hoping to get the car over to Magnuson this coming week for the tune. I just need to call Justin every 5 minutes to remind him


I ended up getting that solid-adjustable double idler bracket from S&P that replaced my spring-loaded tensioner. With this new bracket, I was able to get the proper length belt and route the belt around the crank pulley similar to the factory setup. So, I improved the belt wrap and am able to mechanically crank down the belt tension. I'm not 100% happy with the way the bracket adjustment works (I basically need to pry the upper idler pulley up to tension the belt), but it seems to be working.

I'm seeing about 9 psi up near redline, which seems about right for my engine & pulley combo. I know my boost numbers are going to read lower (compared to a stock LS1) since my motor has ported heads, a fairly agressive cam, headers, etc. I see about 7 psi starting at 3000 rpm, which gradually increases to about 9-9.5 psi as the rpms increase. The boost is rising with rpm, not dropping anymore, so I guess that's a good thing. I was told that the 122 blowers are a little "lazy" down low and that what I'm seeing is how they operate.

It runs good with the base tune, but I know there is still a bunch of power left. As a side note, I stepped on it in 2nd gear from a 40-50 mph roll and burned off the rear 315's pretty good.

Damn, now I have to go drive it.......

Good deal. I hope that keeps it happy. I HATE dealing with junk like that.

The 122 combined with your cam may run a bit soft at low RPM but run like stink on top. John Germanson is the tuning guy. He's tuned tons of cars with EFI/blowers before he came to Magnuson.

Good luck on next week. They were very busy as of last Tuesday.

Here's a better shot of the motor:

Perhaps you can talk to Magnuson and find out where they have their work powdercoated and either buy a pound or two of powder or have them do the whole enchillada. I used to know who it was but the name escapes me.

As an fyi, I found out it is silver stardust.

[CarlC]

Andy,

What throttle body is that? I'm still waiting for my UMI and have not laid eyes on one.

Good deal. I have one part to coat this color. Thanks.

It's a Holley 90mm LS2 style throttle body. The pricing is very reasonable and I think they look better than most of the others on the market. Also, they are supposed to have a tappered bore for better driveability (or something like that).

heres a few that i took a few years ago with the old c5r

Gotta love the intake restrictors they used.

I would love to see what would have happened to their competition if they were'nt breathing through straws...

I still say that is a sanded and smoothed factory bracket. I have never seen an aftermarket system that has an alternator bracket like the factory one.

just my 2 pennies, true value maybe less in this economy

You're right the altenator bracket does look either sanded and smoothed or powder coated. I need info on the AC bracket on the other side of the engine. The reason I am so interested in it is because it is holding the AC back so that it will line up with the rest of the vette bracketry which sits closer to the engine than any other factory pieces. The closest I have seen uses Fbody brackets for the rest of the engine. I appreciate the response though Rodger.

No doubt. Have you seen the restrictors on the C6R? Might be the same, but man are they tiny. 30something mm I believe.

[WS6]

found it I am pretty sure. Now I just need to find out who they got it from since it is not theirs.
