I'd go steel driveshaft on that. The rotating mass is of a small diameter, and with that kind of power would be unnoticeable. Beautiful build, man.

Thats what I think but I call driveshaft specialities and ask them about there opinion between steel and aluminium driveshaft. If there aluminium 5in can handle that power level and little bit of abuse I might go that route.

I'm curious how you have the I/C attached to the frame; do you have brackets on the frame itself behind the two brackets the bumper attaches to?

Yeah we just made a plate and welded it to the frame behind the bumper bracket, and the intercooler came with a bracket welded to it too.

Sorry guys no time too update, still busy with moving.

I need some help with PCV setup any Ideas?

I was going to weld 2 -12an bungs to the valve cover and run the lines to a breather tank but I found the RX catch can for boosted setups that looks promising.

I found this link to corvette forum, they kind of keep explaining alot but seem like some people there just dont get it

RX thread Corvetteforum


I got the Katech valve covers and they look nice, crappy phone photos.

Looking really good. Is that a "Driveshaft Specialist" driveshaft?
