Default My new toy!!

2001 z06 she’s already got quiet a bite to her. Heads, cam and A&A supercharger, 3.90 gears and all other supporting mods + she’s California carb compliant😎. She puts down a healthy 535/485 to the wheels. Can’t wait to start tinkering!! Merry Christmas!!

Lucky. Now start putting your own stamp on your vette and make it
your vision instead of some one else's.
Good luck

That’s the plan! Lower it, LT & x-pipe, fast intake, short throw shifter, meth kit, & retune. Would like to get her to 575-600 at the wheels. If she goes boom I think a forged 383 is in my future at some point.
