I would do the h/c for sure. Although you'd have to do the labor yourself. Maybe just a cam with a nice lope to it. I'd love to have a nice h/c put in but that'll be at least next year. After my Lg's get the jet hot I'm done for this year unfortunately. I guess you'll have some pics when your decision is made.

But you're starting out in a good place, Charlie.

There is just something sexy about the start-up and idle of that nasty silver Vette, with which I drove from FL to KY for CI.

Chris knows what I'm talking about. And he's quoted me already. So it seems I'm leaning toward the "Perf" program, just now.

JeeWhiz, I'm posting from the bottom up.

We caravaned for CI from Gainsville and collected some cars along the way. And the Orlando group voted that I was the loudest/nastiest. Yet I was the only one without a cam

I guess I'll be ok throwing "driveability" to the wind and just going all

Oh, quick story:

I got beat by a Camero on an on-ramp the other day. My junk sounds fast, but

The labor, well, Yes, Yes I will, but my hand will be held all the while, by a very good friend.

I've done the headers install all by my lonesome, but the cam thang Gonna need some help for that.

You ready? Chris?

I promise, I'll take care of ya. Infact, have you ever been to Molly Brown's in Daytona?

...admit it Michael...
..your all about looking pretty...

I voted audio cause it would be a nice mod all around...
But I forgot about the hood...
The MCM hood would look sooooo good on your vette...
...the rear spoiler would look like it was meant to offsett the height of the MCM hood...
...btw..the Supercharger hood is the one you should get...
Be prepared for THE performance mod...
