Default whats up everybody

Hey , my name is Joel, I am from belleville IL which is just outside of st.louis. I have a 2002 z06-it is my first corvette,I have had many camaro's and a 1957 bel air conv before this. I sold my bel air and bought the z06 off of vegasredz06, he is a member of this forum. It currently has the 403 w/APS twin turbo set up on it. I have had the car for roughly 2 months now and love it. I have installed msd coils,fast intake,comp cam shaft mounted roller rockers,ported throttle body,short throw shifter,ram twin disc clutch,rebuilt the trans w upgraded input shaft,syncros,billet keys,forks,bronze pads and new micropolished gears,Installed a LG aluminum driveshaft coupler and trans tunnel brace,installed GM T1 sway bars and pfadt trans and motor mounts since buying it! The car runs grea , but I think there can still be more tuning to get more out of it.
