Hi V.O.,  Sorry for the delay in answering your question. The owner of the Silver C6, with the Goodyear slicks in back, had his car at the CCW wheel Mfg. Co. getting measured up for a set of 19" front, and 20" rear new wheels, for his "Z06 wide body" panel kit. The wheels are custom made, and take some time to manufacture. Well, they messed up on making the first set, and not wanting to hold up the cars trip to LPE for the 403 CID installation, they put the set of slicks on just for the trip to Lingenfelters. Everything finally worked out well,and he's getting his car next week...;42

Thanks VO,
Tuning and calibration should start early this week, and with some luck, I'll have my car by Friday...they did have to install the new hood, and an Air/Fuel Ratio gauge to otherwise complete the package. Will post the new Dyno sheet as soon as I get it, and some pics of the finished beast...;42

I was a little concerned that the Michelin 345's we selected to put on the rear wheels might stick out a bit, (they are 13.6 inches wide)..:ado.. even with the Z06 fenders, since the Z06 uses 325's, but the wheels were made right, and here's the result...;eek

Thanks Michael,

My car is all done except for the calibration and tuning, which they should accomplish in the next few day's. They had a period of rain for a few days, and that prevented them from taking it out on the road, to do that part of the tuning process, After that, back on the Dyno for the final runs. I should have more pics in the next few days, before they put it in an enclosed transport, and ship it home to me. I can't wait, it's been two months away from home. Thanks again for the kind words....;42

Two months to do all that work is remarkable Ted, i still can't believe that they are already finished.
We need a few workshops like that in Australia.
Those 345's look like a perfect fit, i dare say that there will be quite a few Z06 owners opting to do the same after seeing yours.:v

Thanks MADVETTE,
I think you are right, it really is a fantastic place, and to think that this work goes on all year long, all though, our winter months are the busiest for them, everyone wants their car done by  Springtime...;42

Received more photos this morning from Kevin Jeffrey at Lingenfelter's, showing the installation of the new CES Hood, and the additional gauges, and shift light, installed in a pod on the pillar. One gauge shows the present Air/Fuel Ratio, and the other shows the Transmission Oil Temperature, and the Shift Light mounted on the side of the pod...;eek

My car should go on the Dyno today for tuning, maybe have the final run, and numbers, by tomorrow morning...:evil

Ha! You and me both, D.R. They are finishing up one Corvette ahead of mine this afternoon, (Thu. here) which is a 427 CID package like I'm getting, only his will have a M122 Maggie on top. The M122 is the latest, larger model of the Maggie, if you're not familiar with it. Mine will go on the Dyno tomorrow morning (Fri. here) and I should get the results by afternoon, depending on how many runs they make. They will also send photos of my car on the Dyno. I'll post it all as soon as I get it, whether they are able to get a video of the final run is a maybe...;42

They said that they are making a mold of my car, for future referance....:grr   I'm going to go out and hunt for a Video-Cam over the weekend...;eek

Forgot to mention that the photos of the new CES hood on the car, do not show the hood after the final adjustments to it. They will fine tune the spaces in the front, and both sides...:ado

Hey VO, here's the package you were interested in. The M122 is the latest, more potent, upgrade of the M12 Magnacharger...:spook

Here's the car that went thru the Dyno final run before closing. It's a 2005 Corvette C6 with the A4 auto trans.
Avid drag racer...:v

M122 Magnacharger SC on a 427 CID 550/560 LPE package.



The car on the final dyno run.



Final dyno run for the above car. 603.7 RWHP  619.8 RWTQ
From 2000 RPM to 6000 RPM it never produces less than 500 RWTQ...;50  just insane!
