Default Well I'm back for good!

So I haven't contributed much lately (not that I ever really contribute) But I've been really torn what to do with my Z06, came really close to selling it even selling off most of mods including sniff sniff the headers. As I'm boxing up the headers my wonderful wife asks me what the hell am I doing? She then proceeds to tell me I worry too much and I should keep my car its the one thing I really spoil myself with and I deserve it (not too mention she loves it too)

So baring any problems with my job or wife,and babies health I will be keeping the vette. Just picked up a TNT kit as well as the ET street wheel setup from Mr. Munch. With that and a linelock I hope to finally break into the 11's **** if that doesn't work I'm going to have to hire a driver....somehow I'm sure I can find someone local for cheap!!!

I'm going to have a son in June so that is obviously my first concern but do plan on getting out for a few weekends for some racing, and hopefully a trip up to Seattle.

Look forward to a fun summer and will definately have to make it up to Seattle to check out some rides. Everyones car's are just incredible I can't wait to check them out!!!

So Roberts been helping me with the nitrous side but I maybe asking some stupid questions about tuning again really soon

Hey Bobby! Congratulations on your future son! Screw NOS, I just installed a twin turbo kit into a customers 2002 Z06 and it ripped off 511 RWHP on my dyno a couple weeks ago. This was a stock bottom end with just shorty headers and the stock Ti cat back and the stock CATs! Talk about a screamer you should here this thing run on the dyne.

Tuesday or Wednesday I should be heading up to Mt. Vernon and picking up Bill's (Racehead's) 2001 WS6 Loan got approved last tuesday and I have the money from the property damage settlement in the bank for a down payment. So to answer your question hell yes I'm staying in the LSX world

LOL I saw that on another thread I think in the corvette forum. Yes FI is the ultimate goal for the car and that STS kit is looking better and better. All the good with very little negative!

The nitrous kit I got for a screaming deal I can use it for a couple of years and easily sell it for what I paid. If I had an extra 7k I'd be all over a turbo kit!! But for now I'll have to go with the Ghetto Nitrous kit

If I ever get off my *** and fix my pcv issues I'll be making an appointment on that dyno!

I saw a black Goat yesterday I was wondering if that was you!

Currently the Z is still running, but I have another set of heads that need to be installed and some other work. I plan on having it out sometime this summer but won't be ready when the track opens. And yes I will still be racing that bike too. I like running 9's on the bike

Yeah yours was the longest I think I think I'm more excited about your project than the ones I have in the mix! Yes that is a word not sure if you spelled it right. **** you'd think with the non alcholic beer you drink you'd have more brain cells left over to know this ****!
