Default Anyone up for a New England evening cruise?

Come on out, the weather's fine! Just a little damp outside.

I'll be riding the plow!

Very funny Bro!

Can't believe how it's piling up here.

And I am very unhappy that my Vette is not home! It is still at the Corvette center getting all .dolled up!

Rays comment after starting after the header install is that it is very loud and really barks now!

Always loved the sound of your side piped 64! Maybe now I will have some sound to enjoy as well,

Take care all!

I went with a Callaway honker and melrose smooth flow long tube ceramic headers. Ray will be doing the tuning.

Don't tempt me the other stuff!

Supercharger!

Can't go out to do donuts cause the garage doors have 4ft drifts blocking them.

I got my 4x4 stuck trying to get through a snow drift at the bottom of my driveway this morning. I figured it was a good opportunity to start vlaying the ground work for a new truck. As I complained to my wife she missed the point and said well I bet it's better than the vette

Ok, how do I get my Vette home from the Corvette Center?

Our road is not even plowed yet!

Jeff, I know how you must feel. Driving on ice and snow is risky business but you are a very lucky man. I'm a very skilled "snow and ice" driver and I'll drive it home for you. Will it be ready next week?

PS: If I can't make it Frank will go in my place

Oh yeah! Those are two Carlisle buddies I don't need driving my Vette!

Maybe I'll take Dave's advice and have them do heads and a cam.

I really just want to make Frank spend more money!

Now your talking. How about a set of Air Fuel Research AFR 210s (emissions legal, ported out of the box) for your LS2 with a custom Comp Cams camshaft specked out by Tony Mamo at AFR.

Let me know and I will PM you Tonys phone no.

I sent you a PM w/some questions.

Ray is suggesting a comp cam, (part# 146-456-11) and a Fast Intake. Ray says the LS3's heads are good already.

What do you think?

I have an LS3, and a good sized cam with stock heads in the car. I also have a stock intake and AR headers, car makes 485rwtq/502rwhp on a conservative tune from ECS. I have a set of TF 225's. My tuner said not to bother because the LS3's flow very well, you should be happy with the stock ones.
