Default Work in progress.

Well over the last year I have put a LOT of work into my Z.
Thompson Motorsports LS6 based Blueprinted 383 Stroker.
235/239,.612/.603 113 LSA +2 Custom ground cam
LS7 lifters
Yella Terra 1.7 rockers
CC 7.400 Push Rods
CC Double Springs
42 lb. Bosch Injectors
Stock LS6 243 Heads
Stock LS6 Intake & TB
1 7/8 LT Headers w/ Gutted converters. Didn't have a choice. Left converter was melted inside.
Stock TI Z06 mufflers.
Ram Stage 3 Clutch with Billet flywheel
Remote bleeder.
Adjustable Tick Performance master cylinder
Just got the car out of the paint shop about a month ago.
The car was taken apart and windshield removed. Paint job came out perfect.
All new rubber on all 4 corners.
The car has 53,000 Original miles. Bad lifters with after market Comp Cams, camshaft is what caused the catastrophic engine failure.
Then the car was left out in the weather for 6 years with bad engine and thats what caused the paint to go.
I'm slowly getting the car back in order.
