Got my new ride! Picked up my new ride on saturday morning, I'm VERy happy with it, it was hard going over from mopar, but they dont offer anything that I want besides a viper (which I cant afford...).
Car is a 2001 z28 badged up to an ss (getting debadged soon) with 4" cowl hood, and SS decklid, zr-1 17x9.5 17x11 rims, GTP stage 2 heads, mti c1 cam, mac coated headers, dynomax 3" exhuast, ported stock tb, mti lid, 3.73 gears in stock 10 bolt, B&M ripper shifter, comes with ls1 edit/autotap (which are unused except to remove the skip shift, change the gear ratio, and remove EGR). dynoed before ls1 edit at 402 rwhp, 355 rwtq. needs a tune pretty bad, I would do it myself, but I know NOTHING about ls1 edit. best time to date is 11.68@119mph on drag radials.
heres a few pics of the car...
all 3 of my slow rides

Bitchin ride, dude. Not that I know how to use LS1 EDIT, but from what I hear it's the heat, look in the Diagnostics section and ask questions. Don't see that hood too often around these parts, I dig it. Was stationed at Hurby for about 4 months for Tech School, what do you do? Have fun with the new ride.
