...Once Truck Guy drops in his 6.0 liter Stroker with Twin Turbos, 4400 stall converter and NX 250 shot NOS...we're all toast :sad: :nonod: :sad:
TRUCKGUY- how much money did you spend on those mods???? You must have a whole bunch of cash laying around :eek:
TyVette01...TCC5 is just yankin' our chain. The only mods I have are an intake & exhaust (almost forgot the chrome lug nut covers) :yesnod: :lol:

OK guys, based on all the recomendations in this forum, I drove to VetteWrench on Saturday and order Power Loader (I think) and other mods that Brian suggested. Have paid deposit and now waiting for it all to come in. Like Brian when met him, feel very comfortable with his suggestions, and the work he is going to do for me. Will let you all know in a few weeks when the power loader and other stuff get installed. :)

You should be in good hands. You will have a great time getting to know your car again after the mods Brian puts in.

Also this may set you down the path of personal wealth destruction :D Once mod fever bites, it NEVER lets go!!!! But hey you only live once (well until cryogenics is perfected :D ) and it is fun going ludicrious speed !!! :D :cheers:

I am looking to do some minor mods this spring when it warms up, and have heard great things about Vette Wrench. So, I called Brian last week and asked if I could come over and see the place and BS. Brian said, "Suuuure" :)

So, I went over there and BSed with him for about 30 minutes. He took the time to answer all my questions and even took out some headers in a box to show me the difference between the TTS and TPIS.

Nice guy and I'm sure I'll be bringing "Taylor" over to see him in a couple months! :yesnod:
