Newbie here!
I'm a newbie, I thought I would introduce myself and say hello.
Hello my name is Desmond I go by Dez.
The vette i'm currently the caretaker of is a '68 original L88 coupe, not that way anymore and wasn't long before I owned it. It's got a ecklers ZL1 fender flair kit. The engine is a 383 stroker done up very well with all the trimmings. The interior is trashed, but thats next on the list to be done now that the body and paint are almost done. (nothing is ever quite done.) When I got the car it should have been scraped for parts, but now it's well on it's way. I do have some knowledge to share, but i'll probably be asking more questions than i'm answering.

Re: Newbie here! (ZD75blue)
I haven't had it on a dyno yet. I still have a lot of tuning to do before it goes. I've been going to the track on test and tune nights for that. The ET's and MPH keep getting better and better every time I go. I don't want to post any times yet, but I will very soon. In the next couple of weeks I will have it on the chassis dyno and will post the results along with full engine specs.
