Hi Everybody
Took a while but I finally purchased a 2004, 29000 mile zo6 commemorative edition at west coast corvette,I don't know if thats a bad thing LOL, Because I bought a car with some mod's done already that I didn't have done myself.
they had it dyno tuned yesterday for me and I talked to there head mechanic yesterday Josh and he dialed everything in for me.I feel alot better now LoL. It runs like a bat out of hell.

Congrats on the purchase, I was in between buying that z16 and the black 03 that I eventually bought a month ago from WCC. They were not able to get me info from the previous owner about the car but good luck with the search. I ended up looking at the pistons and my car has a forged 383 stroker.

It was just the price that stopped me from buying it and it was also pinging during the test drive but its good to know it was dyno tuned because it needed it. I looked at the piston through the spark plug hole and found that it has diamond stroker pistons and head studs plus a lot of supporting mods like injectors and ati superdamper. It was a little disappointing because the salesman told me he would get the cam and engine build specs for me from the previous owner but after I bought the car, they were unable to do so so I had to do some fishing around myself even though I won't know the exact cam specs myself. Your z16 sounded like it had a mild cam in it as well.

Yea when I drove it I heard that to ,I'm not a mechanic but I knew it needed to be tuned ,I will never know what's in that engine
And that's disappointing
