Barnyard Garage

How is your day going? I just need to remove this compressor to get the radiator fans out 🫠

The Z06 raised the bar.
The ZR1 blew the doors off.

Now they’re both supported.

I'll be posting a good video on this 2019 trackhawk build we did soon.

Red lines are stock tune with a cold air intake, 91 octane.
Blue is tuned with cold air intake and e85, full fore triple pump fuel system and injectors
Green is 10% lower pulley, 2.75 upper pulley, catted long tube headers, and e85-
It makes more down low but we were fighting for traction on the dyno so we had to roll into the throttle.

That is a 38% increase in power and torque over stock.

Using the factory rating of 707 at the crank, that puts us at about 975 horsepower at the crank.

Two cars in the last few days came in with broken plugs. This is super super common on stuff with longtube headers. Sometimes it's easy to angle the ratchet at a way that slightly cracks them on install. I think I've had 100 cracked plugs come in over the years and I can normally pick it up by ear, but always good to check on your own stuff if you ever feel a slight vibration or hesitation going up hills.

Stopped down at the secretary of state's office and put in my trade name renewal.
10 years Barnyard Garage has been here.
10 years ago I put my gto up as collateral on a loan that was certainly not enough to start a business on. Got a lift, air compressor, had my basic tools as a tech and a welder.
At the time I was going to school for cad and working for my friend Jeff at LSX. I walked into it figuring if I made it even for a year running my own business I would call it a big success.
I had my butt handed to me many times over the years, but I definitely feel like even the worst of the worst moments were worth it and helped shape me into who I am today.
To another 10 years 🦅

Oh also I need ideas on what I should do for a shop party. Might wait until it's warmer out/have food/etc on a weekend.
