You can see how small the cam is with the torque just behind the HP.

Should be fun!

Yeah, GMs TC was never intended to harness over 600 hp. It's almost worthless in these cars. At least at first. It takes it a few seconds to figure out 'oh s**t, them rear wheels are spinnin fast!!' LOL

You are right, I have been sideways and TC never lite up. I guess I will have to learn to handle it instead of relying on the computer.

That Richard!

Thanks Shawn. We'll all have to wait a little longer but I'm sure it will be worth it.

The 403 would blow right through TC. I don't think it's going to work any better with the 427.

I only drive with my TC on when the roads are wet as it is worthless under any load on my Vette and looking forward to the port matched head and intakes pulls
