i have to say some of the better runs i have seen at auto x the vettes do very well. congrats on the car , but my opinion on american cars still stands the same ,, the reliablity issues and dumb things that seem to happen , like leaks and things breaking before 30 k . thats why i sold all my american cars and bought jap cars. although american trucks rocks.

Looks nice Kevin. I don't know why some of the vettes have the door guards and some don't. Yours does. I like it without them.
So what's the plan with your fd? Last I heard the engine was broke. Did they confirm that yet and if so when you getting a new one in?

ernie, the one we talked about had a salvage title. that's why the price was good. this one i found by luck. they say i can get a different pulley and make more power. i don't know **** about superchargers so i will have to do some research. the car was built by lg motorsports. they are notorious in the vettte community. i m growing a mullet as we speak kvn

Kevin my good man...not that I want to promote getting my a$$ handed to me, but did you check out this thread? http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show...1&page=1&pp=20 LG Pro Long Tube Headers. Dyno proven HUGE HP increases (IMO). Amazing stuff. Pricey, but damn impressive for just tubes lol.
Oh and of course, I dunno the first thing about superchargers either, so I dunno if you can use these tubes on a force induced application like your Vette. Thought I'd give you a head's up anyways.

Kevin,
With a supercharger, the only way to get more boost is to put a different size pulley on it. Just make sure the motor can handle it. Ya gotta take me for a ride!

i don't have the money for the 427 yet my z06 has the lg long tube, headers and no cats. the custom roll bar/cage what ever you call it was also done by lgmotorsports. we will see friday what kind of power she is making. it feels fast and sounds really good.
