Just wondered Mike, if you keep count of how many LS9s and LS7s you have built?
Another Mike built the engine for my 09 ZR1, Mike Klamo. I heard he has moved on from Wixom.
If TNT is still around, tell him thanks again for the power in my 09 Z06!
cheers!

Grab underneath each side of the cover that wraps around the supercharger's intercooler and pull strait up. It kind of snaps on and it dosen't take a whole lot of force to remove it. Don't worry, there is really nothing to it.
cheers!

Took her out last night Mike. She's strong but smooth! Still breaking it in at this point, but I can tell it's a winner!

Mike Klamo (great guy) transfered to Pontiac HQ to pursue a career in "Experimental Metal Model Maker" ... He is an asset to GM and commands my utmost respect ...
"TNT"? ... Yup! ... He's still here! ... Presently on vacation in sunny Daytona Beach "droppin' the hammer" on his beloved HD "Screamin' Eagle"! ... I will relay the thanx ...

Thanks Mike, I did not know you were on here. What a cool last name for an engine builder, it instills the notion of power! 2010 Crystal Red, #125 - saw her being built and one of the first things I did was have them tell me the engine builder. Great job, man that thing has the power and torque!

While I understand that they are assembled as equals....who claims to build the biggest Horse??

LS9 build info
So there are more builders than has shown up on this thread. Some, such as Ron Hein, have built many engines but have not had any posted yet. I guess the law of averages doesn't always work. And for some reason this thread does not seem as popular with ZR1 owners as with Z06 owners. Hmmm.....
But many thanks to those of you that do post!! It's good for us and we hope it's good for you too!
Of course we all claim to build the fastest. Some say Mike Priest has a special chip in his engines, but we haven't been able to find it. John Ketchum seems to have bragging rights now as his engine was in the fastest ZR1 posted to date (see thread). The only way to know for sure is to get all of your ZR1's together and run them off. Sound like fun, maybe that's and idea for Speed channel...

One more thing...if someone has an engine that shows up on another thread, do you think it should be counted here, enen though it was not posted here.
John Ketchum has onw on the fastest ZR1 thread, and there are some on the Where in the World are you thread. Whaddya think?
