oh i can drive the shit out of this thing but my cobra on the other hand that was a diffrent story the shifter was just in a weird spot for me.




E-85 would be a problem for me 93+meth is 90% chance what i will run due to very few E-85 stations where im from and even less where i live now.


Ya a 6speed blower car isnt the easiest of setups to pilot thats for sure

Meth will do it too its just a pain in the ass. You can tune for e85 and 93, switch when you cant get corn. It takes 5 minutes. You would have to stay out of boost past 6-7lbs though.

what is your zip code where you live and where you will be living? I can look it up for you. It feels like we only have 2 stations that carry it but there are really 11. Many dont advertise it.

actually controlling it wasnt the problem just the shifter was in like a legit werid spot for me being 6'4 so my seat was all the way back and i could barely reach it. i either had leg room and sorta reach the shifter or no leg room and slam gears.





Look up inspector12


he has a 1000whp camaro with an F1R and 6 speed he built 5 or 6 years ago. He also has a turbo car.


Be prepared to grenade the transmission every now and then. Make sure you look into putting a pump on it to spray the head gear set and buy a really nice twin disk like the rebuildable rps.



i was expecting to pop the T56 i had in the cobra after the 2.6 went on. ut i will definalty look into that but i gota sleep been a long day for me i will check back in tom morn

7 stations within 25 miles and 25 stations within 50 miles of 62220.


There are 6 around O'Fallon which is where I bought my Formula.

You have to be honest with yourself about how much you will really drive a 1000hp car. At first I thought 3-4 days a week. Truly its more like 3-5 days a month for most people. And thats if they dont break.

i should have the truck to tow this thing before its done so truly it will only come out on the weeekdns/ nice days

It will let you safely push the blower to the max. 93 and a shit load of meth is less reliable.

Definitely get a DD... haha. These things never go as smoothly as you hope.

It should drive almost like stock until you put your foot in it if you build it right. That's the beauty of a boosted corvette. Its watching it sit on jack stands when something breaks that sucks.
