woohoo... can you say I'm frickin happy !!!
the car made 501 rwhp / 468 rwtq
through a 9" and a steel drive shaft and steamrollers.
The car was picking up hp every run on the dyno even without changing the tune... another 5-10 hp are in there due to break-in.
It drives so strong it's unbelievable.
The car doesn't seem to be a 4k+ lbs monster anymore rotf.gif
It revs so nonchalantly, that I hit the rev limiter twice by just blipping on the gas to accelerate. thumbup.gif
I really want to thank and congratulate FTR Engines http://www.ftrengines.com for all the hard work and dedication to me as a customer... they not only took good care of me, got everything running nicely and strong in a very short time frame wink.gif beerchug.gif 2thumbs.gif
If you guys have engine work to do... you know where to go.
btw, here is another ls2 stroker Vette from the same shop:

now I need to get used to the beast.
was driving all the day with cutout closed and pulled strong.
already lapped the car smile.gif :drive: rotf.gif
yesterday night, went to the track to see a race, and @ end of the event, hopped in the track, with a sponsor passenger, and the track guy was happy to see us go around... he also loves f-bodies biggrin.gif
damm... the 1 straightaway is so short now.
At the track, on the last lap, decided to open the cutout... damm... quite a beaSSt. thumbup.gif
I really need to do something about my brake bias. ph34r.gif
time to change the oil and go outside driving...
see you guys later.

Congrats !

Those are solid numbers.

It's weird how a couple hours behind the wheel makes all that frustration (and money laugh.gif ) seem like a small thing, no ?
