I'm not going to be driving it at high rpm that much.
It'll still blow the tires off and pin you back in the seat haha. Really depends on the cam, the B3 obviously flows/pulls hard in the higher RPMs but still retains good low end, something I really didn't want to sacrifice. Comp can always spec a custom grind cam for what you're looking for, whether it may be low end, top end etc.

So with PA winter in full swing, thinking of some interior upgrades. Anyone know where to get an OEM Carbon Fiber center console?

Car is looking great! I just dropped my Z off at RPM yesterday for the same package! Mine is an ‘08, bone stock, with ~9500 miles on it. Going to hit up Corvettes at Carlisle this year? I usually run into a few members there. I’m up in Scranton, btw.

Thank you! You're going to love the set up, post up some feedback/videos when she's done!

Thinking about making the trip up, is it worth it?

I will definitely do that. As far as Corvettes at Carlisle, I think it is 100% worth it as long as the weather turns out nice. I make it a point to go every year, usually on that Saturday. If the weather is good, the turnout is incredible. Usually over 5,000 corvettes of all years. Also, they usually have vendors there from all kinds of parts companies, detailing companies, etc. Plus, Chevrolet generally has a pretty big showing there too.

Really like the cup wheels. That may be on my to do list. Heads are up first though.
