Looking forward to seeing her on the track tomorrow at GoodGuys. That ride looked a little stiff for our Cali freeways Steve. Did you have your kidney belt for that long drive home tonight? lol
I was like "Is that Shaun???" lol

She actually rode great.. evem on that damn plate freeways.. Teh Recaros also help tame the ride.. its actually a pleasure on most roads.

A nice 100 mile breadk in drive before tomorow... i shifted a LOT.

See ya tomorrow

Actually i managed fine.. small trans/clutch isse where she doesnt want to go into first without going into second first (grinds)

Small issues to work out.

Big thanks to the crew from Best of Show.. They were a TON of help.. especially recently with my injury

As always, looks and sounds awesome, Steve.

I'd certainly hope your 460 makes more than 550whp - LS7's make more than that with smaller cams! :lol: Interested in the Mast top-end you're going to run, for sure...

But its all about the torque.. do the make 525 rwtq?

And my cam is tame.. nice street manners

Penny did good today.. Ran a 29.6xx which was in the top three i think.. we have an issue with the rear shocks bottoming out.. not good

So considering that and the broken hand we did good, had to drive in second gear to keep it under control

Will be working with global west to do som tuning an their new Penske line of shocks

the 33 CI advantage has the TQ covered (mine makes right at 500wtq), but your cam is quite a bit bigger than the cam in my LS7.

Are you working with Doug over at GW?

Why yes we are.. Doug is going to do some "stuff" to penny.. including some way cool adjustable shocks

He feels the car is leaving a lot on the table.. :willy:

Now you know why I run the OLC in 2nd - it's the only way...

Keep me posted on shocks. I think that I am going to be replacing the rears for the same reason. One some of the more aggressive road courses that we ran I thought that the car was setting a bit too soon - the transition felt great but I think that more travel is needed.

Glad the "debut" (is this the third or the forth debut? lol) went well. Sorry about Nick - I'm sure he won't rub it in to much. Wish I could have been there.

Cheers
