FINALLY got the chrome snowflakes off the Z and got the Zr1s on. Waiting on strano springs, bmr phr, and 69' emblems to arrive. The car goes in for paint to get the Sunoco with stripes painted on very soon. Cant wait

Ls7 is too heavy. Too much parasitic loss.

I had one in mine, I burned it the hell up. (had 35,000+ miles on it, unsure of install date)

I got another one on the way.

Thumbs up
I got a front suspension rebuild kit for Christmas. Tie rods, ball joints, center link, idler arm, and bushings. Probably won't actually do the work myself though.

March Madness will be here soon.
