Default On a Happier note....

I just finished installing my Supermaxx Headers and a Meziere Electric water pump. The car sounds great!.... runs great!.... and runs cool!

I even did all of the work myself...not bad for a "Old Airline PIlot."

I will try to get some pictures of the car soon. I am real proud of it and want to show it off.

Mike

I honestly don't know at this point. I am installing new plugs along with "NOLOGY" wires this morning. Next month's Corvette Fun Money is going to a set of Crane roller rockers.

I have a used Predator which I just sent back to Diablosport to be reflashed and will be installing the "tune" as soon as I get it back.

I don't "race" my car but it is great knowing I can go around or past most anything out there in very quick fashion, which I have been known to do at times.
