He is Correct! Weapon-X has never videoed or fully detailed any built like this! Ben approached me when I contacted him about my built. They want to verify their data so they can offer legitimate power levels to customers.
And yes, I am benefitting with upgrades for my build...no wasted money at all!
AND, I might be first in line for a NEW Blower! lol

Looking forward to see how this turns out for ya! Feel free to checkout the Instagram for the Dyno sheet and stuff: Bianca_ZL1
Nice Smitty...I heard about your build...badass! Congrats!
This was a GREAT opportunity for me also...if my car turns out like Ben thinks, I may have a very hard decision to make!

Well if there fitting the bill then (free porting) Heck ya then.. be cool to see but if you watched KatyTX he had all those goodies and went to a procharger.. He said even spraying a crap load of meth IATS were just to high..

I'd like to see the whipple with Kaytechs new pump and injectors and not touch the bottom end see where that ends up.. that seems like a 1000X pkg that would be very streetable.

only need 4 parts..

Aux pump
Katech DI pump
Katech or FIC injectors
and Whipple

Katy is full race...mine is a DD!
He wants 2k to the rear wheels...I only want 1k to the motor!
He's in Mexico all the time...I'm at car shows with my son!
He wants to scare the dead...I just want to wake them up! lol

If I need, I will go Port injected also...Ben assured me I'll be fine when he's done!

Haha, mine is a daily!!!!!!! Shhhhhhhhhhhhh. And I'm only building to 1500-1600 to the wheels. Not 2000.



We have different goals. Look forward to seeing your stuff. And yes, I'm banging the streets, I'll never go to a show.



Haha, your analogies are spot on btw.

I knew they were dead on! Lol

My reasoning for all the car shows is to get my son's Photography out to the car guys...I have Alot of connections and it has really paid off for him this year.
He has several Social Media ads that used his stuff, car clubs and individuals setting up pics, and he just scored a gig taking pics for a couple dealerships in the area....not bad for a 16y/o! IDK how he's gonna manage everything with school and football starting...it'll be interesting to watch him handle things.

My reason for car shows is to have proof other ppl thought my plans/ideas was worth a vote! haha. If I only race it and it breaks, everyone will have a story to talk about how it broke! At least I can have the memories and the physical proof to look over as reminders of my vehicle.

*note: Not saying you cant do the same with racing (videos, win trophy and so one), just saying I like to do BOTH but will focus more on the shows over races.

This is the worst tease ever! Give some details my friend.

For on what I see looks like NX lid so I’m thinking Meth, WX intake prob stg 2, long tube headers of course and I’m guessing 2” bc of the end result of the build?

They took it back as stock as possible.
Dynod.
Going to do 700, 750, 800, and 850 packages, and dyno between steps.
When all done, besides all the little stuff...I'll have 2x3 coated Kooks, no cats, Flowmaster Outlaw NPP.
My Red Valve covers/catch can
5" intake.
Triple-HX.
Everything ported.
103 TB.
Grip tech pulleys
A few secrets...
And all tuned up!
Then the last piece will be THE NEW WHIPPLE! lol

Entirely normal warnings for a car that's just been on a dyno.

Yes,yes it is....Various sensors have to be unplugged/etc!
But, most people would never expect that they will get an immediate Chevy email from it!
