Nice choice. Its a great starting mod. Exhaust is another good one to start.

Do you have a Donzi boat?? I've always loved them. My girlfriend's (future wife in another year...) family has a house on the bay on the Jersey coast. It has two boat slips no one is using that is no lie, four houses from the end of the no wake zone and the inlet :D I plan on taking care of that problem in the future!!

The Donzi is gone. :cry :cry But trying to work a deal on a 28' Donzi now,
which so happens to be in NJ. If you know about these boats, then you realize that it is a CORVETTE on water.
ps. Maybe when you marry your girlfriend; one of the boat slips will be yours!!!

Great chioce going with the Blackwing. I just ordered one along with a carbon fiber power duct for my Z. Can't wait to get them on. Just gotta fight the urge to empty my checking account on other mods. Although, once I have enough saved for a supercharger or turbo system, I'll be draining the account in a hurry. :D

. Looking for more goodies to put on the car. Any suggestions?????
I've got Z06 shocks sitting in the garage waiting to go on. Still looking for a set of Z06 sway bars to go with the shocks. When I do all that I will lower it
with the stock bolts. More if I need it. Then after that I will be checking the forum for a set of 3.42's. I've got the lame 2.73's now and I know that will really wake her up. The list goes on and on !!!!!!! GOOD LUCK on your mods. Your screen name is my on my personalized lic. plate.....

This is definitely a good mod at a great price. I noticed the power difference in mine also.
