[VIDEO] Late Model Racecraft Overhauls TJ Hunt's Twin Turbo Corvette with Help from FuelTech

YouTuber TJ Hunt was one of the very first to take delivery of a 2020 Corvette and he promptly had a twin-turbo kit and aftermarket exhaust added to the car. It’s been a while since we’ve seen it last, but now the car is in Texas where Stephen Faraday and Late Model Racecraft are working to correct the various issues with the car.

Stephen explains that TJ’s problems included reduced engine power when at boost as well as a bunch of electrical gremlins due to maxed out sensors among other things. He was able to get the car running and in drive, but then there was an oiling issue where the intercooler was filling up with oil. So the previous kit was removed and LMR added their own twin-turbo kit to the car and once installed, most of the issues went away. Faraday says TJ then asked how he could get it to run in the nines and can it make 1000 hp to which Faraday replied the power wasn’t a problem, it’s the clutches that are the limiting factor.

C7 Corvette Impounded in Canada After Caught Speeding at Nearly Double the Limit

It could have been worse for the driver of this Arctic White C7 Corvette Z06 coupe caught speeding at double the speed limit in London, Ontario, Canada this week.

He was pulled over after being clocked at 158 kilometers per hour (98 mph), nearly double the 80 km/h (50 mph) limit.

Ontario officials are considering changes to the Highway Traffic Act that would stiffen penalties to a 30-day license suspension and 14-day vehicle impoundment for drivers caught going 40 km/h (25 mph) over the limit.

As it stands now, this Z06 driver will lose both his license and his Corvette for a week, the automatic penalties for drivers clocked going at least 50 km/h (31 mph) over the limit.

This case, which occurred on Wonderland Drive, comes on the heels of a similar crime involving a teen driver who was clocked at 112 km/h in a 60 km/h zone near Western University.
