Just bought my first vette,
Only took 35 years! Looking forward to learning a lot from this forum, I’ve been reading post for a little while, kinda held myself to not being a member till I bought one.

While I read the appropriate how to threads on pics/vids, I guess I’ll just give a brief description
06 ZO6 BLK/BLK(has some gray on the sides of the seats)
14k miles
pro charger(P-1SC-1)
heads/cam
maybe some other stuff still gotta get it on a lift and run a program to see everything, I’m still learning all the tech stuff, so my apologies if I say something incorrect, I have the paperwork on the pro charger heads and cam. Anyway it’s terrifyingly fast and it’s trying to kill me lol.

wow sorry it took so long thanks for the well wishes, finally got some video up and a youtube channel, had some work to take car of on the vette. mainly the tune was garbage, plugs/wires fuel injectors and map sensor also needed attention but we gotta it going now, also pulled the cats and did the exhaust mod, installed a dash logic with an AEM air fuel to go with it, still working on getting al that dialed in need some tech support from palmer but its looking good. the link hopefully brings you guys who wan to see the videos right to my channel and I've got similar cold/start and roll outs of before and after cats off exhaust mod.
