Default Updates on the LT1

Got the car back out today and shined up as I head to Jeff Creech in the morning for some tuning. Can't wait to get it where I want it to be. It has came a long long way and still have many more upgrades coming this fall/ winter, and I will post pictures on here of the upgrades being done. p.s. ignore the crappy cell phone quality

Jeff Creech the Carolina Automasters guy? If so, was just wondering the other day if he was still tuning.

Would recommend him to anyone, Great guy great business. Second car he's tuned for me.

F bodies came with aluminum heads and B bodies came with iron heads, the iron heads actually flow a little better.
