Thanks and happy to make the road trip next time!

How do I get in touch with Corey? I try to do as much as I can but as I get older (53) I'm more comfortable with not pushing the limits of my skill set.

Make it back last night at 1:30 am after 1183 miles in 16 hours!

Car ran great, but I have a few knit-knoid things that I'll ask questions about. I really had a great time with the car.

Car was "fairly" represented by the dealer and overall I'm pleased.

Let Corey Henderson do a "510" package on your car......Its around 10K but car should be around 510-520 horsepower in the crank....

Sounds like s lot but from what your saying you got the car for " under 16K if no hidden dealer fees" you still will have a heck of a car for around 25K...

The power band on the LT5 in my opinion comes on very strong when you let these motors breathe...

​​​​​​​Good luck...

Wow! 16 hours is pretty good time. I'll bet you were wore out.

+1 for Corey - he is top notch. I had him work on my ZR-1 a couple times.

Port and polish the top end.
Refinish the plenum, valve covers, etc - clear coat. New bolts too.
Custom cross pipe with removable random tech cats.
Stainless steel fuel injectors
tune etc.

Corey is the ZR-1 man in my book.
