🔧 BUILD Jason’s Procharged 2008 Corvette

[SleeperLS]

He built mine, I took it to the track (maybe days later) and the input shaft snapped...because he put in the shit one and not the good one. Trans was taken apart and iirc, daturbosix said everything looked stock.

Damn, that is interesting. I never tore into mine. When he built mine it was the 3rd trans I had put in that car and called it quits after that.

 

[JBruno88]

Well fuck… I am disappointed to hear that.

 

[Mook]

This was yeeeears ago, so maybe just a bad stroke of luck.

Carl, on the other hand, has a stellar track record with TCG.

 

[SleeperLS]

I really can’t speak to his current quality though. That was a while back and a terrible platform of a transmission.

 

[JBruno88]

Carl@Redline tried giving you a ring, but went to voicemail. Let me know when a good time to call is.

 

[daturbosix]

Ask daturbosix what my GTP "Tim King Built" trans looked like back when he had the car.

(assuming its the same person)

shit. i forgot about that!

the one that was suppose to have a good input shaft, and then found out it was stock?

Ya, something about everything else inside looking stock as well, despite it being fully built.

Was it not FULLY assembled?

I dont get it.

 

[Mook]

Junk ass baby dick trans.

 

[DanJ]

That was the joke. Fully built, fully assembled get it?

Dropped the trans off with Carl@Redline last week. Looking forward to seeing all the Circle D billet parts that are going into it.

While we’re at it, I’ll be freshening up the rear end with a new ring and pinion as well as upgrading to a carbon fiber drive shaft from drive shaft shop.

This went 0-100 real quick lol

Around… works been crazy, dealt with a bunch of personal life and family shit over the past couple years and took a break away from cars.

New C6 looks cool.

Is Carl going to beef anything up in the trans? I still have my 2010.

Yep going with a top of the line build with all the bells and whistles. Billet 4150 stator, billet intermediate shaft, upgraded clutch packs, etc… basically doing a circle d lvl 4 build.

 

[Pro Stock John]

Cool sounds like it will handle a lot of power.

 

[JBruno88]

That’s the plan, I don’t want to ever have to replace it again, I just want it to be a maintenance item going forward. I don’t plan to track the car too much, just a fun street car.

 

[Pro Stock John]

I hear ya. I stopped tracking the '10 to focus on building the '67.

 

[JBruno88]

Yeah my 67 is still a work in progress… hence why I bought the corvette.

I seent that. ?
I touched it. Softly and gentle-like.

 

[JBruno88]

Can’t wait to get it apart and see pics of the carnage… I know the trans was beat on pretty hard by the previous owner

carnage in those are pretty cool to see. still impresses me how stout they are even in stock form.

 

[Pro Stock John]

I'm curious if Carl takes a different approach on clutches and things like that? When I asked my buddy about doing up a trans for my '10, he said they basically did a stock rebuild, so I thought if that was the case I might as well just buy a low mile stock takeout and swap that when the time comes.
