Hi from Nova Scotia Canada
Hey! Ive had my 2002 Z06 for just about a year know. Its got an A&A V3, cam, pistons, intercooler, Breathless oil cooler, built transaxle, Corbeau A4s, coil-overs and a few other bits. Very safe tune makes 585whp on a Mustang.
Now the motor is out. Oil pump failed, caught it early but lost 2 lifters and the cam doing some 1/2 mile drag racing. My cars get used mostly on road courses and the some weekend runs with friends.
I've had a few cars before this but this is my first car like this so I have some learning to do.
I hope this finds everyone well... and with their engines still in their cars
