Pete,

Couldn't you get the same result by dropping $130K on a new 09 ZR1? Most of all your car doesn't even have a fishbowl on the top of the hood.. I think the idea that Dominic and Jeff have is to fab up a plastic blue engine cover to put on top of the LT5, its worth 15-20hp.

simply awsome big guy . just let me know if and when you want to try out a new gear set. i have 410s,392 and 373s at your disposal . thought you might want to try the 410s with a 27 in tall tire . might be the ticket

Brad i would love to try the 3.92's,is it a complete pumpkin or just ring & pinion?

I keep my suspension setting in the middle sometimes too soft might get wheel hop try it but get off it if you get wheel hop that is a good way to break sh!t.

I have taken wieght off the car all the Marc H. tricks with a few others. This year i finally made the decision and yanked the A/C since i haven't used it since i bought the car 10 years.

I haven't weighted the car i would guess around 3200-3250.
