I've hit a snag.
Went to replace the starter (and shim it properly as I kept thinking something was wrong besides heat).
Found the attached image.
So that's neat. I figured when the injector stuck open (old 36lb gtp injector) and hydrolocked the motor, the kick back destroyed the tooth.
Thankfully McLeod can rebuild the flywheel for cheap ($50). Of course to do this I get to pull all of the stock drivetrain out.
So now the next phase begins, planning the future of the build, as putting the inferior parts back in a 2nd time pains my heart knowing I can't launch on it.
I briefly thought about selling the car after fixing this last issue and starting with a different platform, but I really like this car.
So I think I'll be tossing in all C6Z stuff (Differential, transmission) and a upgraded 2001-14 corvette 12mm torque tube.
This combo *should* be good to around 600-650hp/tq or so, more importantly allow me to try to get those low 60's. In asking around most guys are capable of cutting 1.5's no sweat, 1.4's with practice without breaking.
Yes I do plan on spraying nitrous to get to the limit of the drivetrain, why wouldn't I?
