I took the red Z06 to the Flat Rock show, here's some pics:

There's another one this weekend (June 6th) at Hardaway.



Also, I guess it's no big deal for a major city park to have raw sewage flowing out of one of the manhole covers next to the bathroom?

Whats a good place to find a 3/8 to 6 or 8 a/n adapter around town? Also need a fuel line with 6 or 8 a/n fittings about 16 inches long.

There is a speed shop in Phenix City just before you take that left turn at the light to go to the drag strip off of 85. I forgot the name of the shop though. It'll be on your rightside across from the elementry school. I know they have AN -6 and -8 fittings.

I still have my nitrous kit for sale, brand new stuff - and will get more aggressive on the pricing for a local sale.

Here's the details:

NOS extra solenoids
NOS Blow down Tube
LS1 ported MAF
NX 10lb bottle - white

The kit I'm selling has never been installed or fully removed from the packaging. Here's a couple of links to descriptions of these items:

Also included is an additional blow down tube, an NX white 10lb bottle, and an extra set of NOS solenoids and wiring and SS lines (soft and hard) as well as an LS1 MAF in case you want to experiment with drilling for the jet placement.

Hmm, good question - shoot me an email at johndhelms@hotmail.com if you want to stop by and check the kit out.

Right now I've got the ad at $550 shipped and $500 local sale, right now I'd come down to $475 for a local sale.

Around that point it'd become tooo tempting for me to keep it and use it
