Default Don and I are working on the vette

Well Don is. So I bought a stock 99,auto same color gotta be red. Don was nice enough to change out my rear to the 3.42 instead of the 2.73 that came out of the car. Few other minor things and a tune. What a difference.
Next we ordered a stage 4 tranny and a 3600 stall. Heads/cam next. Hoping for low to mid 11's.
Anybody looking for a D1 and intercooler.
Thanks as usual Don
Brent

Why not just throw the parts from the old vette into this one. I would put the D1 on it.

[QUOTE=Brentc5R Thanks for all your well wishes everyone. I am really excited to start another build.

Congrats, please tell us how long it takes for your 10 second street ride to start feeling slow.

Is it when you stop getting tunnel vision???
