I'm just hoping to finish up my current mods and then take a break until fall of 2007.


Current Mods in process

- Body Kit, CCW custom wheels, Wilwood BB Kit, Pfadt Coil Overs & Sway Bars, VBP Poly bushings, VE Interior Parts, lots of engine carbon fiber, PIAA Lights, HID Lights and conversion from auto to stick, kool-mat, tunnel plate and other suspension goodies and lastly the stereo unit.



- Next fall 2007 new forged motor and APS TT Kit and a paint job.

Currently in body shop

One major "mod" for me will be signing up for Spring Mountain's three day Corvette school. Becoming a better driver is fundamental to me and it is one way for me to get the most out of my car so I can do well at the drag strip, auto-x events, etc.

But for now, my wish list includes CCW 505a's, rear window tint, BSM's, seat covers, Borla's, sound system upgrade, and Z06 exhaust plate. Later on maybe headers and x-pipe or some other performance upgrades.

Yeah right in your wildest dreams, speaking of which, it appears you may have had a little too much of this at your mod party. You need to take a break and let the mods I mean fog clear.

Just a guess... you mean the APC kit and not the '07, right?

btw, have a line on a good place locally to have it installed if I go that way...

AFR 205 heads
LG G5X3 Cam 114 LSA
ARP underdrive crank and alternator pulley
Melling high volume oil pump

Oh yeah, almost forgot, Z06 polished rims and new runflats

Andy's stage 2 setup for the procharger, a blower cam and some long tubes and crossover pipe. Need 2 rear tires as well but may upgrade to a new set of chrome rims and 4 new shoes, need rotors badly, save money at napa on em i guess unless someone knows of a sweet deal or group buy on some nice slotted rotors.
