Ok,,, Got the vette back from MTI
I just got the C5 back from Jeff at MTI , Houston and promised I would post the pics. I am very , very , pleased. The Dyno shows 521.36 hp and 496 ibs of torgue. It now has the following on it. Blackwing air flow filter system, Kooks Headers and x pipes, Valve Train kit with Heavy springs assembly, Lanati Cam, Mangus Super Charger and intercooler, Spec 3 Race clutch and slave cylinder, Racing snycro change outs and a beefed up output shaft. I can tell you that you cannot "get on it". You literally have to power into it even in 4 th gear or you will end up ......God knows where but not on the road. LOL. Thank you Jeff and crew at MTI, it was well worth the wait.

RE: Hello Lee Willis, what do think of her?
Wow, it looks great. I have a lot of respect for MTI and they clearly did a great job here. You got really good power out of a great selection of the top notch parts.
And note that great minds think alike. Here is a picture of my 02 ZO6 as it ran around for two years with a Manusen SC in it, before I put the 427 and the Procharger on it. My Magnusen SC was not nearly as good as yours is: it was an early, early one (3rd C5 in the nation), non intercooled, 460 and then eventually about 480 RWHp). Note the hood stripe though!!!!! I think we may have the same brand of power bulge hood.

RE: Hello Lee Willis, what do think of her?
Yeah, I still have it: will never give it up. I pulled the Magnusen SC'd stock block and put in a built C5R 427 in september '04. Took me a full year to get it sorted out (and it still doesn't like cold weather, need to get the tune updated). 590 RWHP with only 5 lbs boost, and it can go to 12 if I want someday -- just a pulley away. I didn't need any more power, just that I had wanted a silver 427 cubic inch corvette coupe since 1966 and I had to have it.
Your car is very cool. Enjoy it. Have you done the mini tub kit in the rear so you can run 345s at the rear? Helps a lot with using that power.
