Wow, looks even nicer with those changes!
Any plans for a road trip to Wright-Patterson to do a photo shoot? I bet that someone there would do their best to facilitate that based upon your extraordinary efforts. Still the coolest looking airplane ever built.

Beautiful RPA! Provides me with a lot of reinforcement for my recent purchase of a 2012 SSB GS.
Also has me thinking about hash marks (I'm assuming they are cyber gray?).
A couple of more questions. Is you GS an A6 or M6? Also, it appears from your photos that you may have installed the the Halltech SuperBeeHive in carbon fiber. Is that correct? If so, do you have a feel for how much rwhp that was worth? Finally, what other mods were performed and was the car tuned after those mods.
Thanks!

Don't know how often or if he will be able to respond to the Corvette Forum because is presently serving his country in the Middle East
. Just before he left for the desert he installed a C6 Z06 exhaust system and dyno tuned the car. I believe the power went from 390 to 412 RWHP

Factory tune dyno run which had a rich A/F ratio:

Thanks Ken for keeping my 'Fans' in the loop.
To everyone, yes, the re-tune from the exhaust install put 412HP & 412 TQ to the rear wheels - yielding a 13.14 @113 MPH at a January track day at Las Vegas motorspeedway's 'The Strip'
Rathmullan - the intake is actually a 'Hurricane' yielding just shy of 20RWHP without any tune. The intake was purchased from Forum vendor - West Coast Corvettes.
All is well here in 'Happystan' -I'll keep checking in here as the bandwidth allows.
