Default 03 Z06 - Big Mods Done

The big mods are done with just a few odds and ends here and there that will be done soon. 2300 miles...yup...you read that right.

A&A Supercharger Kit
Blower Cam
American Racing Headers
X Pipe w/high flow cats
Borla mufflers

268RWHP gain... 368 to 652

All engine work done by Josh Tonski @ Horsepower Solutions - Newport News, VA

Lewis 5 Fenders w/splash guards
CCW 550SP's Front: 10.5 - NT05Rs; Rear 13 Drag Radials
(I don't drive it much so they'll last but when I do tag it I want traction.)


All body work done by Tim Lucento @ Tim's Custom Painting - Yorktown, VA.

I'll do a few more mods here and there but am not bling kind of guy. Thinking about a double DIN mod for the stereo.

Both Josh and Tim do impeccable work and are HIGHLY recommended even if you're outside the general area. I'm a little concerned about Lewis 5 however. Even though I had a "decent" experience with them on the fender purchase, I just discovered they let their domain expire and read some disparaging reports.

This is one EXTREMELY quick car but if you drive like you have some sense it behaves like it was still stock.

Want to drive it a little to see if it settles out any more first but that's the plan. I do like the rake on it as it is but....you're right.

All around bad *** car man!

Just curious tho, don't get me wrong....but your fenders are installed and done basically. What more would you need from L5, service wise? Sorry if that sounds ignorant.

I have L5's as well and couldn't have had a better experience!

You did better than I did, and I have custom Trickflow heads, along with the same(?) SC kit. I still haven't made the traction mod, so I never can get on it. Love the flares, and when you lower it a bit on all four corners, it'll look as mean as it is!

PS, you might want to get C5 "fangs" that protect the front cradle. I scraped in my own driveway, so I had to raise the front a little, and make some MacGyver mods to the air dam.
