Now that the Zl1 is off of daily duty ive tempted to push the power up a little....

 

Headers and X pipe came in yesterday!

2” speed engineering and their 3” x-pipe. Kit is really nice! Seems to be a better fit and finish than their fbody kit from 10 years ago lol. Even comes with a wideband bung.

just need a free weekend and HP tuners

 

That looks great!

 

Just let me know what weekend is good. Install day at the shop 🤙🤙🤙

 

Custom heated seat panel I made for a customer. Really like how this came out. Unsure of what seats he has in there

 

Some SS badges and a shift plate I printed

 

second v pod almost done!

 

Flex fuel sensor install ahead of our bolt on install next weekend!

To recap we'll be installing
- 2" headers
- 3" Off Road Xpipe (keeping stock mufflers)
- 2.45 pulley
- 100mm idler pulley
- 1000cc FIConnection injectors
- NGK BR7 plugs
- Accel Ceramic wires

Car already has:
- Airaid intake with green filter
- Upgraded heat exchanger, IC pump, AN lines, and 2 gal expansion tank

I'm seeing similar setups make ~575whp on pump and ~615whp on E.

Remote tuning mine so no numbers but its gonna rip!

 

Can't wait to see what it puts to the ground!

 

Long install day on Saturday. Always grateful for lift access courtesy of Cajun_elessone.

Went pretty smooth with only a couple hang ups, but we still managed to get it done in one day. Casualties included an oil pressure sensor and a coolant elbow. Headers slid in easy, but the xpipe was a bit of a bear. It hits the frame at one spot so I’ll need to massage that so I don’t go insane.

Still going through the tuning process but holy hell this car pulls. Still on pump so I’m excited to see how it’ll feel on E.

 

Can't wait to hear how it behaves!

Im really thinking going for a blower on the 2ndgen 6.2 I have.

 

Tuning is done! Filled her up with E and this car is so strong. Toque monster and drives like stock. Ill admit I was a bit nervous about the remote tuning process but it was fun and easy. Hardest part was finding a time and place to go data log.

Did have a nice lil scare where after a pull I had my CEL come on and the dash lit up and the car went into limp mode. I was like welp - this it lol.
Ended up just being a TPS code that was fixed next in the next revision. Phew

 

Money shot! Congrats man

 

little cold start/idle vid. I’ll get some revs and a pull later. It sounds just how I wanted. Not obnoxious or too loud but enough to know it’s got a little something.

 

That's really subtle! I'm sure it opens up under throttle.

I need to bleed my brakes and get mine back out!

 

Nothing new with my cars. Just been enjoying them and putting on the miles.



Little project I worked on for a customer. He wanted an adapter plate for his vintage air controls in place of the factory hvac.

Another customer running one of my AC vent pods





Also took a road trip with my buddy to pick up his 03 anniversary vette. Went from New Orleans to Palm Bay and back. Definitely made for a long day - 10.5 hours each way without stopping. Not a red guy, but this color really pops.

 

I want to do a vintage air setup on mine. I'm curious how his looks in the engine bay?

 

Still doing a lot of printing! Recently started my own site (Don't believe I can post that here bc of sponsor rules) but I got some stuff in the works as well.

Recently did a TA vent pod and an HVAC delete panel.





Also spent some time polishing the old girl. Time consuming but always worth it.



Installed a (Nonsponsor) 1.5 Din carplay unit in my buddys C5. Looks real clean!




Finally started painting the garage. Doing a flat black ceiling (SW Tricorn Black) with a lot Barina LED lights. Gonna be able to land a plane in there.
Walls are getting painted SW Snowbound which is a cool white. Going to paint the cabinets black as well.
Definitely want to some some epoxy floors eventually but that isnt high on the priority list currently.
Excited to see how it comes out!

 

Maintenance days for the bird and the V. Oil change and a once-over. Good until December!




Helped my buddy with some work on his vette. His convertible glass fell out so we did a reseal on that. Also did a full detail. Removed the tails, door trim, etc. Really got in there. Previous owner had it slathered in armor all and there was still dried polish on it in some places. Extremely satisfying rectifying that. Hit it with some clay and a one step polish. Shined up nice for 20+ year old paint. Only thing it cost was a heat stroke in the process.






My brother also picked up this incredible Cam/FBO C7Z. This thing is a damn rocket. I thought the V was fast but 3rd gear in the C7 felt like going into ludicrous speed. Definitely the fastest car I've driven or rode in.



Passed the sniff test




Lastly had a fun run with a random Q50. He pulled up on me and wanted to play so I obliged. Tried to pull up next to him afterwards to see what was done to it but he didnt seem to want to. I know they can run with some mods. Oh well
