Default Early christmas :)

So i got some early presents!

My wonderful fiance bought me some ported LS6 heads!
I ended up going with patriots since my fiance was paying for them. I was originally gonna go with prc's but she stuck me to a 1300 limit haha

Also got my vacation pay and my christmas bonus woohoo haha

Maybe now i will have motivation to put the car back together. Also time to start getting some clutch swap parts.

I also bought 1 7/8 kooks to go with them

Jay

Could your fiancee give my wife a call and explain to her about the value of a nice mod for Christmas?

Sounds like she is tuned into your love for the Vette.

I went with the 64cc version. I was gonna go down to 59cc but already have a cam and didnt want to run into issues. Plus i plan on building a motor sonner or later so i will order pistons to suite. Comming from a turbo lsx iroc i would like to boost the car but i am loving the dependable n/a currently

build yourself a stroker 382 forged bottom end and you can use mostly all your parts you currently run and throw a nitrous shot at it once in awhile

Well She tries, When I was building my turbo setup on the Iroc (which she hated) she would ask me about what parts do what.

Then I bought here i nice diamond ring and she said she would buy me a nice xmas gift. So I said headers and she was like will the car be loud? Im like umm ya. So she said no. I convinced her on heads then just bought headers myself lol

When I start it up come spring I will just be like the bigger ports make it loud lol.

Should be loud, Was cam'd with a catback (stock mani's and cats)

Now 1 7/8 Kooks with a custom 3 inch X im making bolted to my Corsa Catback.
