Hey Mark......Any chance of something like this being offered with SS car numbers? Maybe like instead of the LS1 and comp. ratio numbers, have is say SS #5446 or just #5446 or something? I really love the SS plaque, just would rather have something more car specific......

By the way, I baught your caliper dacals and Z06 SS wheel emblems from afterthoughts......I LOVE THEM!!!!!!Thanx for a really great product( and Afterthoughts(Deanna) ROCKS!!!!!!!!) <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

That's good news! Any idea how many are being produced in the first batch?

I ordered mine a few weeks ago with the factory HP/TQ ratings which is currently under rated from my current dyno numbers. It's better to have under rated numbers than over! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

The majority be going out in Mondays mail. There are a handfull that had to be redone because I wasn't satisfied with how they came out so I should be able to pick them up on Monday and have those ready for Tuesdays mail.
