Default My 2000 Corvette!

Well Men and Women,

I am going to brag...

First, thanks to the CORVETTEFORUM.com for being a great time and one of the greatest friends I could have! Sad, but true!

I installed the following:

XR-1 BORLA Racing System
Random TECH High Flow CATS
B&B Shorty Headers
LS6 Air Intake Manifold
HOTCHKIS Sway Bars
New MSD 8.5 SC SP Wires
New ACDELCO Plugs

The car is running unbelievable. In fact, I have been driving around the Island of Oahu, just learning the new response and handling that this awesome car is capable of after all of this. Though I had ran into a few little technical issues during install, things couldn't be better and I really enjoy my new car.

I had to SHARE! Thanks!

Micah

Thanks for the replies and comments. PICS?! I would love to, but the problem is that I don't have a home computer set up right now, not until I get back to the mainland, but I am going to take some pics and then post them as soon as I can.
