Truth. When I decided to pull the trigger on the entire fuel system at once, it was not a decision I took lightly. Also, don't tell my wife.

Actually, that's why I originally threw up my hands and said f'it with the C7 back in 2018. Too beucoup dollars for fueling past boltons. Sold it for a pool.

Now, just going to have pay the piper.

Good news is that bigger DI fueling has become more affordable as time has gone on. And so hasn’t port injection…I was surprised at how great the TooHighPSI Reflex PI system is for very reasonable money.

Agree my friend, it’s a big decision! Or sometimes it’s several big decisions lmao! But either way, your secret is safe with us!

CONGRAT's on your hot rod's B-day! Fury's B-day is in a week, and I bought him on Camaro's B-day (09/29 - well - on sale date) back in 2019. I thought I was the only one that remembered that kind of stuff, lol.

That pan is so clean I want to swap my CB just to have it, lol! It cleans up that space SO MUCH! It's not stupid-priced, either. SO MANY great products coming from Gabe. SO MANY KUDOS to him.

Thanks Rad! It’s a labor of love to keep it detailed and looking good. But I find it therapeutic sometimes to just throw the cell phone aside and focus on cleaning up the Camaro or one of my other rides.

Gabe is doing a great job and it’s nice to see some new products for our rides beyond the usual CAI and catback stuff. I wish I had a ZL1 just so I could run his crash bar to free up some more airflow up front!

So I mocked up the new GMS belly pan and it’s very close to a perfect fit with my AWE Touring catback but just needed a little trimming to get it right. Thankfully it’s made of aluminum so my sawzall cut right through it. Once that minor mod was done, the front and rear bolt holes lined up perfectly, making for a 5 minute install.

This is something our community had needed for years! So huge thanks to Gabe for making a nice light product to fit the bill.

Looking good Josh! Bummed you had to trim yours. We tested the CORSA on two separate vehicles and each one had their mufflers off angle on opposite sides, which sucks because obviously, I need to make these symmetrical. Which is why I added the note about: not all muffler systems are installed the same, adjustments may be needed :(

Being we have the same exhaust, I was surprised it even needed that, but clearly variation is inevitable when trying to hug the different muffler systems.

Fingers crossed that will be the missing link keeping you from running 8's

What a sleeper!

I'm calling BS!!! In Texas, the definition of your car being STOCK = ALL PARTS BEING IN STOCK SOMEWHERE WHEN YOU ORDERED THEM!!

What's nice is for nice and tight fitment, it's easier to trim a little than add a little, and even though that nice powdercoat might get a little shaved, there are aesthetic alternatives to offset that loss. AND - it's WAY under the car and tucked, so you'd have to know what to look for to see it. Also - with as many slip joints as there are, and the variances in installs, it's gotta be hard to have fitments for all of the muffler options out there. You're putting in great work for great products!

No worries Gabe, I’m glad you offer this and the modifications were trivial. Like Rad said, I’d rather trim a little than not have enough to start with.

Agree 100%!

Hmmm… I wonder what happens when I make a little swap…

I normally predict carnage and that way when something doesn’t break I feel relieved… I like your thought process much better!

So with work being too damn busy and life being crazy this last year, I haven’t gone racing at all. It’s literally been a full year since I’ve gone. But with only 2 private rentals left for the season, I blocked off some time for this Friday to get to the track. I’m sure I’ll be rusty as hell so I won’t expect any miracle runs but it would be nice to just have some fun. So I dug out the drag pack…literally dusting off cobwebs lol…and got them bolted up, tires aired up (why is it so hard to get ET Street front runner pressures WTF?!? I could find out Kim Jong’s nuclear codes with less searching!) and TPMS synced up. Just gotta check and air up the trailer tires and I’ll be ready for Friday morning. Fingers crossed!
