I'd love to go but I'm kind of far away. When it gets closer I'll see if I can find the time to get out there for a couple days

I left the show early last year and drove right past the Jet thinking that's a weird place to leave a Blue Angel. I wasn't aware that we could get our pics with it at the time.

Look us up when you get here! (Motorhead-48, Tally Ho and Aware02). We all 3 work at Eglin and should be convoying to Vettes and Jets this year. Introduce yourself to the 3 guys parked together in a 2010 Yellow Grandsport, a 2009 CRM Coupe and a 2006 LMB Blown Vert.

I've always said the best Vette out there is the one under your azz! No snobbery in this group...especially if you like to turn wrenches. And we know how to use Zaino when we have to if you show up with a dirty car!

Here are a couple of threads on a bit of wrenching we've done....

Mine is going under the knife as soon as the box gets here...trying something new... http://www.edelbrock.com/automotive_...gers/corvette/

Active duty? PCS'ing in? USAF or Army?

Very true.. I love my C5Z and I definitely like to turn wrenches. Unfortunately I fear that this will turn into a money pit...

The tuning will be done in my garage. I'm no Ninja Master Tuner by any measure but I have HP Tuners and have done all of my own tuning to this point. Car currently has LG cam, Kooks headers, ported intake manifold and ported TB and runs very well with no bad manners. The Edelbrock s/c comes with a handheld tuner which I'll use to gather necessary timing, injector values and baseline fueling info but I'm sure they'll be much more required to flesh out the driveability with my other mods.

I'm not aware of any local shop that tunes Corvettes. If you need any help in that area I should be able to assist. There are a couple of dynos in the area but neither do any tuning...at least that I know of.
