I've had alot going on lately with work, my grandma passing, tons of out of town visitors and not having a car, I can't even cut my grass without it raining, but as soon as things start to chill I'll be setting up some car meets/shows and some cruises.
I also want to find a couple nice places to do a photo shoot with some models i know.

She was running this morning and we took her to Dan's shop.
The exhaust sounds nice. I was late so a new Z06 jump in front of me on the dyno so I left her there so he could tune her next.

I got to ride in Josh's Camaro. I use to drive C6 Corvettes home from the dealer and Josh's car made a stock C6 Corvette feel like a Cobalt.
Josh's car is sick
I should of never drove in it cause now I may have to start a turbo build, lol

Yeah, a Z06 took the rollers today...dam! Not to worry- car will be good to go soon.

It actually idled really well. We just had to adjust the fan activation temps and obviously change the inj. settings and it was pretty good!
