Default Hello from the NW Side of Chicago

Hello my name is Steve and im 21. I must say that i love everything about this site. Alright enough about me and lets hear about the car. It's a 2001 NBM Z28 A4 with 45XXX and all options. When i bought the car it had the notorious piston slap. But since i am an apprentice a Gm dealership that was taken care of. Gotta love GMPP! New parts consisted of LS6 Block new crank, pistons etc... Ported heads, and cam. After that was all said and done had it dyno tuned with just lid and cat back and got 362wrhp and 360wrtq. Since then I’ve done lt's with off road y pipe and have a 3200 stall waiting to go in. Can’t wait till spring so i can start to drive it again. Chicago winters sux. Maye I'll see some of you on the streets come spring.
