Just shipped out a throttle body and an intake manifold that I got used from a 2015 C7 with 200 miles on them to SoCAL Porting for porting work on both. I initially was going to go with WeaponX as mentioned however their customer service being HORRIBLE, I decided to go with SoCal Porting and their work is amazing. $240 + Shipping, I will post up some pictures when I do get them back! It'll be there Wednesday. I am in no rush to get it on as I will wait to get the Chevy/Afe Intake once they release and install em all together as I will be right there anyways.

They are the rear side markers which I have already sent to VetteFX to get an LED conversion. I am also waiting on GSCreations to be finished with their clear front markers and they will be sending them to me as the very first customer.

You can check out HERE for the vettefx rear led marker pics. I am not getting the fronts done by them as I am going with GSC clear fronts.

When you get these done can you please post up a new thread in the cosmetics section....those LED markers look damn good on the Corvette. I can't wait to see what they look like on your car.

Mind if I ask the price for two? I'm assuming $150 since its $300 for all four on the Corvette.

I sure can do that. $170 shipped for both rears. It'll be done today or tomorrow and shipped. So I should have em soon enough. I will do a quick how to on it as well as just posting a before and after on new thread under cosmetic section.

Now that I am waiting on stuff... I am getting itchy to do some actual wrenching... So in the mean time, I added a Mobil 1 5w-30 sticker (which is just a little too long which I will fix later on and a new metal license plate holder. Thanks to my brother Kracka, we did find a Mobil 1 5w-30 oil cap but we aren't 100% sure it'll fit. There is a lot of demand for this on the vetteforums, so hopefully someone will actually finally make it and I will grab that as well.

Got some goodies got shipped and I am very excited for! Intake manifold and throttle body got ported by Ruben @ SoCal porting. VetteFx also finished up with their work (LED Rear marker conversion) and got that shipped, blade spoiler in black got shipped via Patrick @ Cultrag along with wheel lock nut set. Looking forward to actually receiving all the stuff and putting them on!!!! Here are some pics:

Just FYI, I haven't recieved any of the parts yet. I will post up pics once I get them installed

VetteFX LED Rear markers:




Ported Throttle Body:

I got my blade spoiler delivered today. I ordered it in black (non-mosaic) and I was UBER happy to see that not only did Patrick @ Cultrag made sure it was packaged correct by adding more packing bubble wraps and cloth but also that the black is THE same black on the rear diffuser we get WITH NPP. So it matches perfectly.

Here are some pictures on top of the SS wing. I will be getting it installed professionally as I do not feel comfortable drilling my trunk.

[Tr6]

I ended up putting back the SS wing today. Cleaned off the old adhesive left overs from the wing, wiped off all surfaces (trunk and wing) with alcohol wipes, added new Scotch double sides outdoor tape to the wing and slapped her on there, then bolted it down of course. Middle ones are a bit of a pain but got it all done...

I also did receive my ported throttle body and intake manifold as you guys can see the pictures above and below. God damn... They look much better in person. Will most likely get em installed with Kracka this weekend but I will probably install them myself later on as I am getting a baseline done Saturday. I'd like it bone stock and then I will do another baseline with the ported TB and IM.

Before the busy Friday - Saturday I just had, a couple days before that... I had my radar detector hardwired. It was hardwired into the BCM accessories port as no other place was really ideal.

It was a very busy Friday-Saturday for me... Went down to Dallas Friday around 5am and got back Saturday at 9pm. As always, had great time devouring great food and getting our as usual damn good wrenching done with Kracka and his GF.

30% Tint all around and Air90 full clear tint for the windshield, installed the SoCal Porting Ported Throttle Body and Intake Manifold, replaced oil filter, and had 5 Star General join us for lunch at the Mike Anderson's BBQ. When I got back home, I actually got the VetteFX LED converted rear bumper markers and installed those so after I got home at 9pm, wrenching session apparently wasn't over and I just installed those real fast before I went to bed haha. I also did recieve the Stahlbus oil drain valve for when I change the oil next. Here are some pictures, sorry as some pictures just do NOT want to rotate and it's pissing me off...:

Radar Detector mounted, hidden behind the mirror:





Radar Detector mute button, this was worked out PERFECTLY:




30% Tint:





Only took off the intake inlet tube off which gave us access for everything else.



Left is stock, right is ported





Meet with Kracka + GF, me and 5 Star General:



Stock rear markers:



VetteFX rear LED markers:



And the Stahlbus oil drain valve "kit", NOT installed yet. Will be once oil change is done:

He dyno'd AFTER we installed the ported IM/TB, but not before.

No kidding. Good call. I will post them up today!

We didn't which I do regret a bit. But my main regret was using travel stop bottom tier 91 instead of my local top tier 91. 364 rwhp/395 rwtq. We did have some traction issues one or two pulls but that didn't effect the final result. I do plan on getting another baseline pull, here locally with my local top tier 91 gas.

As a side note, SoCal Porting IS looking for local cars to him. He will sponsor you to get the baseline stock dyno then you grabbing the ported tb then him sponsoring an after ported TB dyno pulls. So we can give actual #s. You are in Cali and do have a baseline already Sledge. If you are interested contact him and tell him Turk sent you. I am damn sure he will hook you up some how, especially since you already have a BASELINE STOCK dyno done.

Had pretty decent road trip to meet up with Shawn and Zach (no idea what their forum handles are lol) and got my secondary cats taken out. Looks like the stock system is 2.75 but got em replaced with 2.5 straights. This is a temporary fix or it may be permanent depending on what Borla has in store for us all.


Gotta say, Nightfall gray is a damn beautiful color and pictures really don't do justice to it. Just like the garnet red. And seeing the back end and front end of the gen6 via the mirrors is a freaking beautiful sight! Mustangs are lucky as the back end of our cars is just beautiful!

I snagged a set of the CA Performance Cat deletes, so I can add and remove them fairly easily. Will post pics when I install them and a video of the sound.

Would love to hear your car.
