Your customer service is second to none. THANK YOU BOTH!!

Suzanne, if you read this (she has a profile too) I LOVE YOU!
That right there has convinced me to buy not only American but Texan as you cannot buy genuine customer service.

Thanks for sharing and you better take care of that one brother!!!!!!!!

Thanks for all the feedback guys. Definately incredible, and damned proud she's mine!

Now I just need to figure out what the hell to do to somehow top this. Hell, I'd be happy just to make it even at this point!

You don't have to top this!!!
All a women wants is to be continually shown you love & care for her...You have a lot of time each week to do this...2nd thoughts man, just be coy tell her she got the wrong bloody colour & i'll slip her my ph# .

[QUOTE=lady3bglover;15590326]You're in New Zealand? Tell me what it's like having an LS1 on that Island. And speaking of Islands, have you been to Mauricius?
What a lot don't know about Trevor, is that he helps out 10-12 needed families over the holidays, with food and clothing contributions. Heck I sent him over 125lbs of clothes last year.

Hi, Yea it's a bit annoying not being able to always get up enough speed to select 6th.
Sorry haha. You make it sound so small.
Heaps of LS1, 2, 3s here. Being next to Aust we have their Commodores here in abundance.
Parts wise! I go to TSP no one better.
Google is your friend re NZ. No re Mauritius.

Man it's great when your honey is working with you.
There were more than a few times when I'd like to have given up, but my dear wife cheered me on.
Dropping hints works the best when you bring up an item just once, then leave the associated advertising material nearby.
Thanks for serving, Sgt. Dave! And three cheers for Sgt. Honey!

UPDATE!!

Holy ****, it seriously gets no better than this.....

Call her tonight (Still on the rig till Wednesday) and tells me she can't hold out anymore, and she has something ELSE to tell me.

Good Lord, what now! LOL

It had just so happened I had mention the name Ed Curtis several times.... See where this is going?

She paid for me to get a spec'd cam from Ed Curtis of FTI!!

She emailed me the sheet to fill out, and he'll call and talk to me when I get in.

Guys, my mind is completely shot at this point. Disbelief doesn't even BEGIN to describe how I feel right now! Wow. Just WOW.

Any thoughts? I was thinking Street Sweeper HT(ish). I know it'll be spec'd to my set-up.... 241's with full bolt ons, M6.
I want to be able to bust a new 5.0, and at least HANG with an LS7 Z06

Bolt ons and cam will let you beat down some mustangs but not even close to hanging with a c6z. C6z's will be making probably at least 60 more rwhp and weight 300ish pounds less than you car. Not talking trash but its just going to take more.

That's fine with me. At least I won't get my doors blown off like I did a year ago. I didn't even want to run and this guy was just a dick.... had a grudge ever since, lol.

I'm thinking a TDP level 2 will be in order here shortly as well.....

Nice man! My girlfriend bought me a nitrous outlet 102 nitrous kit last year off my account ON TECH! Ended up selling it and buying all the stuff to put a/c back on my car. Alot of guys overlook the fact women "sometimes" do pay us attention.... And then theres the women who go the extra mile and help you install it... I could see her degreeing your cam in and putting the exhaust on and be waiting for ya when the chopper lands

This story is quite awesome, good for you and your wife.

Your car will be quick but if you want to be on par with a LS7 Z06 w/out a power adder, you NEED big flowing heads.
