The Apex wheels are Forged, versus the OE Cast wheels, so I should have similar weights even going with a way wider tire/wheel. The wheels are also one size smaller to take advantage of better tire availability than stock sizing.

Front
18x10 ET42
275/35r18
Rear
19x12 ET50
325/30r19

Certainly a size difference from the 16x7s I have on my Fiesta!
Are CCW wheels still popular amongst the (especially open tracking) Vette crowd, or has that totally changed with the whole C8 mid engine radical redesign?

Honestly I'm not sure, never was a big corvette guy prior to the C8 generation (and the price/performance the platform gives you). It does seem like Apex wheels are the go-to for tracked C8s, not sure if its due to weight or sizing. I just picked them because I found a steal of a deal for wheels/tires off Marketplace.

I tried using the symposer hose slot
Don't have an answer to your question, but the 'poser hose just goes to a diaphragm / speaker.
People who are modified to run more boost typically remove the entire 'poser assembly because they're afraid that it'll leak intake if/when the diaphragm is punctured.

I know, I have a symposer delete. I tried loosening it to try to fit the spray tube in there.

That said, it may not be the valves as arlisscm is having the same identical issue as I am with the misfires, but they have a new engine. Seems less likely to be intake valves now. At least that's where I'm headed. Might be some weird purge valve nonsense (as that's one of the few components that's identical in both our cars) so I have a replacement on order.
