In this video I take the Corvette up to the local Xpel Paint Protection Film install - and get the new ZR1 hood wrapped.

I decided to get the hood wrapped to protect the hood paint - so that we can go out on the interstate and test out some of our new systems in the car.

In this video I install a big ol wing.... AKA the Innovative Auto Creations C6.5 Spoiler.

I saw this spoiler in person at Corvettes at Carlisle - and really fell in love the way it looked - especially with the Z07 style winglets.

I am running this spoiler without the wickerbill - but I do have it and can install it at any time.

In this video - I upgrade the Gauge Cluster Surround.

My Corvette has had a mismatching gauge clusters surround trim piece for several years now - and in this video I show you how to remove the factory piece - and upgrade it with a new cluster.

In this video I install a MGW Shifter Assembly in the C6 Corvette.

I was having issues with my stock Z06 shifter assembly - and decided up upgrade to the MGW setup. The MGW setup is a lot tighter - and there is much less vibration though the shifter then the Z06 box had.

In this video I kicked off the upgraded cooling project for the Edelbrock Supercharger on the C6 Corvette.

The Edelbrock E-Force has a very weak and anemic coolant reservoir design - and needed to be upgraded.

I start this project by setting up the new coolant tank from Moroso.

In this video - I upgrade the last of the Edelbrock E-Force Cooling system. I install a universal Edelbrock Heat Exchanger that is twice the size of the E-Force unit. This should help cool the IAT's - and allow the system to recover quicker when it gets hot.

We finally got the Corvette back together and headed to our local 1/8th mile track for some test and tune!

Watch the video below for more info.

bonecrrusher

07-20-2018 05:07 AM

I know everyone has been wanting to see what this car will now run in the 1/4.

I took the Corvette over to Zmax Dragway for a Test and Tune - and my first run was only 1/10th off my fastest time last year!

I then ran 3 best ET's ever - all back to back to back.

The last run of the night - I ended up spinning the tires and called it a night.

You will also see in the video my IAT times - please check out the video below for more details!

bonecrrusher

Alright guys - long time no update!

In today's update - we test fit a set of new drag wheels on the back of the Corvette.

For more details - watch the video below!

Hello everyone!

In today's update we pick up a set CTS Spares - and test fit them on the Corvette/SS - and see if they will work out at a set of front skinnies.

bonecrrusher

09-14-2018 04:59 AM

One more update for today!

I've had an adjustable suspension for a long time - besides adjusting ride height - I had never taken advantage of the adjustability of the system.

Following the manufactures settings for the coilovers - and the swaybars - I adjust the suspension setup in the video below:

Hello everyone - I have two updates for this week.

First - I have had really bad peeling headlights for a few years now - especially on the passenger side. The drivers side also has a nice rock chip as well.

So I picked up a set of Moriomoto LED headlights from Vette Lights.

Here is the install for the new headlights"

Second - I was up underneath a friends C6 Z06 and discovered that I was missing a cooling baffle that the wide body Corvettes came with.

My wide body conversion was done several years ago - and the parts supplier that I ordered the kit from didn't include the baffle - so I never knew it was missing or that the piece even existed.

In the video below - I fix the aero/cooling by installing that baffle.

Hey guys - it has been far too long since I made an update!

We have a ton of changes/updates for the Corvette - so much so that I'm starting a new build series.

I'm going to call it Build V4.0 - and we are going to have bunch of videos in this new series.

To kick off the series - we picked up a Tow Hook from Phoenix Racing.

This Tow hook is removable - and can be removed when you are not racing.

I picked up this tow hook because one day I am going to need it - and I would rather be able to get the car onto a trailer without screwing up the front end or any of the body panels.

For more information on the install - check out the video below.

Thanks!

bonecrrusher

The second video in this V4.0 build series - is a manual fan controller.

I decided to pickup the Caspers Manual Fan Controller - so that I would be able to turn the fan on low/high when I am sitting in the staging lanes so that we can cool down the car.

When I ran my fastest time last year - my IAT's had dropped nearly 50* from the other runs - and that was just due to letting the car sit and cool down for a long while (about an hour or so).

So to help speed up this process - I picked up the Caspers Fan Controller.

Tools/Parts Used: Caspers Switch:

For more information on the install - please checkout the video below - Thanks!

In the third video of the Corvette upgrade series - we install a custom belly pan.

This is to help improve the aerodynamics under the car - as the C6 Corvette does not have any type of belly pan.

Using some 1/4 plastic from a local supplier - I cut out and install a custom belly pan.

For more details - check out the video below.

Thanks!

In the 4th episode of this Corvette upgrade series - I decided to upgrade the slave cylinder by adding a Tick Performance Slave Cylinder Brace.

Since I was going to have to replace the clutch soon anyways - this turned out to be the perfect time to add this slave cylinder brace.

For more details - please check out the video below.

bonecrrusher

03-04-2019 04:11 PM

As mentioned in the previous post - I was going to be installing a new clutch.

The car is making 650 rwhp with the E-Force supercharger - and E85.

The last time I took the car to the drag strip - I overpowered the LS7 clutch and the car basically fried the clutch in the first two gears.

The LS7 clutch - while strong and affordable - obviously has it limits.

So I decided to go with a Mcleod RXT Twin Disk - now these clutches are good for 1000 hp - and drive like stock.

In the video below - I go over the install details and get the new twin disk setup.

Since the transmission was going to be out for the clutch install - I decided to install the Anti-Venom mod on the T56.

The Anti-Venom mod it to help reduce the notchiness of an aftermarket shifter - like the MGW shifter that I installed last year.

For a cheap and easy upgrade - it only took a few minutes to install.

For more information - please check out the video below.

Since the drivetrain was going to be out - I decided to tear down the torque tube - and install a Driveshaft Shop Carbon Fiber drive shaft.

I mostly wanted to inspect the factory drive shaft - and the bearings.

The bearings turned out to be - but I wanted to eliminate the weak rubber couplers - so we went with the Carbon Driveshaft that eliminated the rubber pieces.

For more information - please check out the video below:

bonecrrusher

03-08-2019 05:23 AM

Since I had to drop the drivetrain for the clutch install - as well as remove the full exhaust.

I decided to take the Kooks headers to a local shop - Calico coatings applied their ceramic coating to the headers.

Hopefully this will help reduce underhood temperatures - and also help lower IAT's as well.

bonecrrusher

03-08-2019 05:26 AM

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:

bonecrrusher

03-08-2019 05:33 AM

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:

bonecrrusher

03-08-2019 05:36 AM

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:

bonecrrusher

03-15-2019 06:38 AM

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!

bonecrrusher

05-08-2019 04:47 AM

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!

bonecrrusher

05-08-2019 04:51 AM

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.
