Brian, thanks for the new performance mods!:yesnod: Want every body to know how please I am. :D Yesterday (Weds) Brian install Steve Cole Power Loader, rear diff. kit w/3:15 gears, Pro torque converter and Z06 Front and side screens.

Congrats on the new mods!! I know you had to wait a bit for the Powerloader to finalize everything, but I am glad it showed up and you are happy with the performance.

Re: Thanks Vette Wrench (retrovette)
O-Ace do you have to try and street race everyone.Not everyone is into racing every car on the road like you are.Also,Charlie lives 2 hours in the opposite direction from the dyno.Are you getting commision on the amount of people that join the caravan????

Re: Thanks Vette Wrench (Slammed Vette)
Slammed....how about you not post on topics you don't know anything about. Me and Retro had a little fun on Swift Rd at the last D&B lunch....that's the reason he wanted to run again for fun////not like we're betting money here.
Oh, and yes...I get $1000 for every car that goes with the caravan :rolleyes: :crazy:
