Following day pointed the black hood 3 hours to Nurburg...commenced to knock the rust off. Been a coupe of months since last track visit and it showed, but the fresh GY's and -3 camber up front made a difference. 70 degree temps and a clean track from previous nights heavy rains made for a good experience.

However, I packed it in after 3 laps (40 miles) due to the catch can hose rubbing on the blower belt under duress...my failure.

A very forgiving and flexible car Chevrolet has put together. The OEM blower only made the car more thrilling...too much for my skills! And gotta love the intoxicating exhaust note... Now I'll give it a bath and drive it to work...
What a fun experience I used to live in the north, Hamburg for ~ 20 years back in the 80s.

Your LT4 blower is installed on a Stock B.E. LT1 engine? Do you run it on a 98 ROZ (93) Octane file without additives (I.E. Meth)?
Which boost levels are you seeing?
What is the WHP?
