I hate waiting... No Vette!
I am not sure how some of you big build guys do it. I am getting my A6 completely built down in Houston, then getting my LSX376 installed, bigger blower, fuel system, yadda yadda.. I am looking at a month with no ride... I am 3 days without it and starting to get the itch again.. The 08' Jag XK is a nice backup, but damn sure no sc'd vette... How Powerlabs lasted, I will never know....

I know what you mean. My ZO6 is at Dallas Performance and supposed to be done on Friday but it's been almost 2 weeks. All I do know is that it's worth the wait. Taylor does awesome work and I know I'm going to love it. I feel like a little kid waiting for my present.

I'm going on five months to have nitrous installed, and the kicker is that I won't even get to enjoy it. The car is going into storage because I'm leaving the country for a few years. I wish I had just enjoyed the car this summer, but in March I never imagined it could take this long.

I had to wait a year and a half for my first Stage II motor from Kenny Dutweiller!When you are dealing with the best it's all part of the deal.
And never tell your shop "I'm not i a hurry."
