Well if you guys saw my other thread been working 14 to 16 hour shifts since April to pay for this car and reached my goal. Z06 is due here in few weeks (selling my fiat first so if it takes longer oh well) but have to get mods going first

I have about 12 weeks before my car gets here. 3LZ with Z07 package with A8 but mods come first

I deal with American Racing Headers a lot on the boards so just fitting to go with the 2" non catted set up (yes passes california smog fine lol)

Other mods coming
Intake
Lower Crank pulley
E85 KIT
Tune by LT1Z
My custom 2.5 gallon underhood hx tank upgrade
345 35 18 M&H Drag Radials
18x13 Wheels (still trying to find out whose 18 inch rim will clear the big brake set up in rear)

Shooting for 675 to 700 at wheels
1/4 mile time goal 9.9999999999

oh and my ctsv vid. Im debating on doing a cam in the Z06.

My buddy has had three front struts changed already under some recall. The last one the piston blew right out. He won't drop it cause of that. Does this recall effect yours also?
