Default mods and maintenence

I had a pretty fun week with the vette I have been waitng for an opportunity to get my headers installed and take care of a few other items. so, over the course of this week's evening I:
installed dynatech supermaxx headers
changed the plugs
changed to gmpp perf wires (and added wire heat shields)
flushed the coolant
added speed bleeders and flushed the brake fluid
changed the oil and filter
no dyno tune but I did have ECS mail order tune the PCM over the winter in anticipation of the headers

that list looks pretty small compared to the amount of time I spent in my garage I can't complain because I enjoyed myself my wife and kids are out of town so I didn't feel bad going directly into the garage after work every night.

the car runs good and seems to have more power
