Looks like you got plenty of power now! Great looking 'vette too, I love the white with black combo and ground effects!
Is that zz4 straight from Chevy or is there extra performance work done? I would love to pick up the zz383 someday but your zz4 seemed to put out all the power I would want!

It is a stock zz4 block with TPIS bigmouth intake, TPIS runners and ported tpi plenum with 52mm throttle body.It has a lot of torque in the lower rpm range but It still falls on it's face after 4800 RPM.I am thinking about getting a super ram intake and some long tubes.
