If you guys saw that clutch install video - you will know that I mentioned that I had dropped the transmission.

As I was moving the transaxle into the third bay - my transmission jack caught one of the lines in the concrete driveway and fell over.

When it fell over it smashed the hell out of the Z06 differential cooler - as well as the piping.

Thankfully I had a ZR1 cooler on hand - and was able to replace the parts at no extra cost to me.

For more details on the install - check out the video below:

I got the transmission, the clutch, and all the drivetrain components installed back in the car.

After fixing up the differential cooler - it was time to move to the powertrain side of the car.

To help make the E-Force more efficient - I decided to install an E-Force Camaro lid to help gain more volume above the intercooler.

Similar to the ZL1 lid swap on the CTS-V - those cars make an additional 20+ HP at the crank just due to a larger supercharger lid.

A member on Corvetteforum did a similiar swap on his Magnuson supercharger - and he picked up an additional 1.5 PSI of boost.

So I reached out to Edelbrock - and purchased the Camaro lid. For more details on the install - please check out the video below:

Alright - I know I have posted a ton of videos today - this will be the last one for today.

We are finally back up to speed on all the updates on the Corvette!

After installing the Camaro lid - and doing some break in driving on the Corvette - I actually blew out the rear main seal - more details on that repair will be in a future video.

To help prevent that from happening again - I picked up an Elite Engineering Clean Side Oil separator.

For more details on that install - check out the video below:

Hello everyone!

In this week's Corvette update - we install a new radiator and cooling fan setup.

With the car having a positive displacement supercharger - the engine cooling system is going to need all the help that it can get.

So a larger capacity all aluminum Mishimoto radiator as well as a set of Prospeed Cooling fans - where installed.

For more information please check out the video below!

Hello everyone! In today's Corvette update - we open up the front of the E-Force supercharge snout to fit a 102mm TB.

With the larger throttle body - it was necessary to hog out the front of the snout to fit the larger throttle body.

For more information please check out the video below!

Hello everyone! Another Corvette update for today - we removed the deadhead on the back of the passenger side fuel rail.

To make sure there are no fueling issues in the last cylinder on the passenger side - we add a Y block - and add some -6 AN fuel line to the back of the passenger side.

For more information please check out the video below!

In todays update - we are going to do a 2 for 1 post!


In this first video we create a new intake for the Corvette.

With the bigger TB - I wanted to remove all restrictions that the Edelbrock setup created.

So I started with a 4.5" bend from Vibrant - and went from there creating a new intake.

For more info please checkout the video below:


In the second video - we take our intake pipe up to Mass Acceleration Motorsports to get the LS7 style MAF sensor bung welded - as well as finalize the intake setup.


For more info please checkout the video below:

Thanks - it sucks that I never saw the issue before then.

I am STILL trying to figure out the system - you will see those updates in a short while.
