2A, did you remove that blue in-line thingy with a screw, as mentioned in a few tutorials, or what’s mentioned above, as the “real” cdv done by 16GMG?

I just pulled the blue restrictor and the rubber grommet. I didn't know about GMG's way until long after everything was done. I hope that's ok, I'm lazy, I prefer not to do what doesn't need to be done! :)

Seems to work great! Only the much easier start-off is clearly obvious, everything else is subtle.

Yeah, I had to use a screw for the blue thing, the pick was ok for the grommet.

Biggest issue is: you need a 3/8" vacuum plug (cap)! No one would say that in the vids!!! Thanks BG!

@2ndAmend Thanks. The original owner of my car said that was the only mod he did. Which I imagine is what you did as I had not heard of 16’s thought.

Will definitely make it up one of these years. My brother in law owns the white ‘18 M6, I was telling him about it. He would join us as well. Do you drive the car up or trailer it in?

Last month I trailered the RE up, S2, fully purged and primed on 100 octane, it was all dialed in ready to run. I brought extra 100, generator, fan, battery charger, alternate wheels/tires, jack, tools, etc... It was a serious attempt, and successful beyond my hopes.

Next week I'm driving the mostly stock M6 up, much more pleasant to drive than the truck and trailer, don't need all the crap, not looking to break any records, just fun! Space is tight but manageable, thanks to the huge trunk! Much more fun to drive up in the HC, but the truck&trailer allows lots of space for everything you think you might need!

I agree with you 2 AM. I did this mod to my 2012 392 Yellow Jacket after owning about two months and struggling with pull aways. I'll bet I stalled that damn thing 40 times when I first got it, And I had drove manual all my life, you had no idea when the clutch was going to grab. Totally different animal after getting rid of that little piece of shit. I also got rid of that damn shift skip crap Dodge put on it, That nearly got me killed a time or two

I developed the habit of just intentionally going for 3rd from 1st, regardless, unless I was banging gears for real speed, then that thing didn't get in the way in that case.
