Default Getting All Tingly Inside!!

Hey,

Taking the Vette in Tomorrow to Tony's Corvette Shop to have some work done!

Finally getting my Borla XR1, GT Rotors, Hawk Pads, Z06 Calipers, CL Bypass, and finally my favorite-Pro Torque 2400 :D installed.

I can't wait...I will have the car back and ready for the 75/80 event!!:cool:

After I get this put in, what would you reccomend??

Thanks
Samir

LS-6 intake... a must...

What kind of tires? with the stall your going to have a hard time hooking on runflats. What gears are in the car? do you have the performance ratio?

Peformance Axle Ratio-3.15s
Stock Run Flats for now...Have to check the wallet after the install to see if I have some extra $$ to get the Pilot Sports.

Hope to get the Tires by the end of the month...but maybe not in time for 75/80.

Any good techniques on how to hook up with the stock ones for now?

With the stall you runflats you will be spinning bad.. esp. at 75/80.. I suggest that you just come out of the hole easy and ease into it. You will learn where the breaking point is. Just practice on the street alittle .. you'll learn where they break loose..
