Ron.
Do you have any trips planned for your new ride? The flat terrain of Kent County may not let you fully enjoy the true potential of your beast.

Here are the final pictures from the build.

Thx Ron , it was a pleasure to build this car for you.

Manny, looking at things from a theory perspective;
you seem to indicate, and Chris' experience seems to agree, that despite
the SC requiring ~ 125HP to operate, that the extra load placed on the standard
engine components, [ LS2 OR Z06 ] does not compromize the integrity of the car.
The downside I see is that you stress the engine over and above the actual HP
one gets at the RWheels.
So....if one wanted to take a stock LS2 OR LS3, could you get ~ 500RWHP via
cam,headers etc ? It would seem this would be much less expensive and would not
need the extra HP to operate the SC.
As I said.. this is a theoretical question, just wondering !!

I like. I might be back for some of that.

Congrats, Manny, on a great build.

Heads and cam ,Tony are a great build, however , you do lose some everyday driveablity as you limb in the hp . The SC's allow us the option to build a 500 + hp car and still have the stock like driveablity . At the end of the day a good heads and cam build will be in the $10g range , and a SC build say with a centri & meth is pretty much the same .Heads and cam are stronger parts build , but the bottem end is still untouched. The difference being the daily driveablity .

Woodstrock car guy - There are a couple of spots around Kent County (River Road) that we can have some fun with but you are right - pretty flat around here! I may have to go back to Mosport for another open day! See ya on the road!

I used to ride river road from Chatham to Stoney Point frequently when I lived there and had a motorcycle. Unfortunately, it was about the only challenging road there. Great build - enjoy!

Thx , I have been following your long ordeal as well and yours should be a pretty stout C6 when finshed .
