Default Will it ever stop?!?!?

I just can't stop modding the car!! New SP intake manifold on the car.

Numbers soon to follow later this week, as well as hitting the track with some slicks next week.

LQQKs really nice Chris.
Glad to see you went with the small throttle body?

Let me know when your going to go to the track, my 400 should be done shortly.
Got the motor bored yesterday.
I'm planning on going to the grove for RSD on Oct 6th
I have to spank James (my buddy who blew up that yellow ZO6)
He just got a new C6, I want to show him that $45,000. can get you a nice Vette, and a real good look at the tail lights of my 400

4" TB ?
The drain for my toilet isn't 4"

James just got a black coupe.

The only problem with the 2 of us at the track at the same time, is they keep asking me what did i do with the cage.
I tell then i take it out some runs, and put it back in for others.

Looking good Chris, saw that you sold your CCW drags post your new setup. Finally got to the track Sunday and realized I need better tires, hopefully I'll post up some impressive times in the next few weeks. -Brett

Don't worry Scott, I'll call you !

Brett, I did sell the ccw's and my volks. My new CCW 505a's should be here tomorrow, so I'll snap some pics when I get them on. As for slicks and skinnies, I'm just borrowing Larry's (Sound Performance).

Dyno, I am excited to see what the gains of it are as well, I'll be sure to let you know.

Chris
