Great looking shop. I'm hoping to book some time with you next spring to fine tune the '75. Daughter off to college in Sept so just enjoying the Vette as is for now. Would like to reduce the carb size (currently a 750 CFM Edelbrock...too big) and get the spark timing set up. Also needs a better alignment in the back and the kickdown isn't working on the TH400.

Was going to say the exact same thing Riley. Shop is as clean as a whistle too, Manny. The live-feed is a killer idea!!!!

Really interesting to see what a ZR1 puts to the ground stock. 624rwhp is crazy! That's like having two of my engines in my car!!!!! Thanks for posting!

That's impressive!! If my math is reasonably accurate, LMS advertises a 6% hp increase (638 -> 680) which you guys certainly blew away (550 -> 624 = 13.5%)!

624 rwhp would be 725 bhp if it was truly the 638 from the factory.

What gains do you think are possible with just a tune? I understand that factory tunes are a bit conservative necessarily for warranty. May this account for the difference or did you make other changes?

Just curious/trying to learn.

*sigh* I need bigger tires
