Coming soon from ECP ---2003 Z06-TVS2300 build

Manny- I would be worried about the bottom end by adding so much HP, especially if stock... is it modded?

Nope stock as stock gets .
Modest boost , around 6-8 LBS , it is a Z06 'with the LS6 . I have early LS1's running 525 RWHP with stock bottem ends and blower's and are still running strong today .
 
Looks like a pretty clean instal.
D

I am very meticlus of how an engine bay looks . There are a few more items to tidy up on this build . I don't like the way all the vacum lines just stick out the front drivers side of the blower , so I am going to turn them 90 deg so that they come straight down and then 90 deg again so that they run straight back .........ya I know I have a sickness :rofl:

I look forward to doing that to mine.
 
***it's alive**

Its alive , now just need the headers , drop on the hood paint & tune at Champion :D

A little teaser video


A few mock up shots of my custom 1 off FRC covers for the TVS2300 . As far I know a set has never been made . No they won't be made from cardboard . I am using 10 gauge aluminum and painting them the same color as the car .

Where is that smoke coming from Manny?

Too bad the covers won't stay cardboard. I think it gives the car an earthy feel.

Just oil on the manifolds from when we had the valve covers off .
 
I see. I wasn't concerned at all as I am sure you would not have run the car if there was any problem but just wanted to know. The car sounds and look great!!!

Ryan just tell the wife you had to do it , as the engine was on its way out :rofl:
 
I wish Manny could mod my engine...it could use a little more "pep!

Manny I was just curious about the bottom end in the previous question, just wanted to know your thoughts as I am certain you would not go ahead with the mods if they were not a sure thing. That car sounds- and looks- amazing...

The boost is effected by the amount , the boost you run a well as the tune is what keeps it safe. We are only running 8psi and Kevin , who does our tuning is the best tuner around . If we were to get any higher in the boost say 10-12 psi then for sure we would have o forge the bottom to keep it together .
