I was wondering about that. I was hoping to get them installed today after work but common sense took over since it was so cold. Looks like I'll have to wait until Sunday.

sorry to bust into your thread guys,I am looking for a mechanic anywhere around the Vinita area. Bluevette 77 I sent you a Pm.. Car i sold to guy there has a couple problems and need to find someone to fix them.. its not a Corvette but actually simple work that the owner cannot do. he will take it anywhere to get it done.Bluevette 77 was very helpful to me getting another car inspected out there and hope someone knows a mechanic who would put a freeze out plug in a 440 dodge thanks for any help or direction you can offer me Paul- Cincinnati

Just got home from Dallas. The new cam makes the car completely different. Much better throttle response. The midrange pulls much harder. It dynoed 425 rwhp and 388 rwtq. It sounds awesome. Even louder than it already was. The car sounds the best at idle. It rocks back and forth, you can definetely tell it has a cam in it! Can't wait for the next get together.

Awesome! Can't wait to see it.

I tried putting my new exhaust in yesterday and felt like a complete retard. Supposedly it's so simple you don't even need instructions on the forum because I couldn't find them but I couldn't get even the passenger side out. Guess I'll save it until we do the headers and mid.

Nice, I bet it sounds great. What else are you gonna do to your vet? Gears? I am thinking about doing 3.90's. I would like to try and keep up with a stock z06 and need more torque.

Looks and sounds awesome. He'd better come to the next GTG.

So I conquered the Z06 exhaust tonight. Got both sides put it.

Everyone's car seems to be coming along nicely.

Randy and I tuned on the car for about 3 hrs. today. I think he's got it nailed, it freakin flys. Had to do a few triple digit blasts and some off the line tire roasts to get the shift points nailed. Man I'm real happy with the RPM convertor, tranny, and diff. It's like a different car. I can't wait to bolt up the slicks and hit the track!
