Man Mark your engine bay looks HUGE without all your hotside and coldside piping in the way. Is the motor set back in the car any?

And still wished had got atomic orange for my z06. Was torn up between Velocity yellow and Atomic orange but in the end classy but boring silver won out. Mostly for resale reasons as plan to likely trade up to c7 in couple years unless they don't have a big cube engine anymore in them ,then might get c7 and keep the c6 z06.

Anyway you have a beautiful car and of course fast as frak. I am leaving my z06 stock for near future but that edelbrock blower might be in the more distant future for it.No turbos though and no heavy modding on my future cars. But nice to keep one crazy modded up car in the stable.

So how about a bit more detail on your ERL engine? cam ,etc if none of that is secret info.
Mine is 427 ,ls3 core. set up to run 6 bolt if want to later. Running afr 225 now ,wish afr would make some 6 bolt heads already! Mlld ls9 cam, lunati link bar lifters, yella terra 1.7 rockers,slp oil pump and double roller. Fast 90 /nick williams 90 for now.Had no problems with fast leaking so far but was running low boost with my 408 last year.408 spun a bearing near end of last season. 427 has callies dragonslayer,manley pro rods ,wisecos and pretty sure 9.5 to one compression.
Should be up and running in a week or so. Engine in car just finishing up some details.

Anyway best of luck with your new ERL motor!
