Here's a pic of my baby...next upgrade is going to be headers, though not sure when, too many toys, too little money!

Very very nice. Does it have a lingenfeltner turbo?

wow..great lookin vette pilot...you said "headers are next" ...do you have work done to it now?

 

No turbo...I will keep it all natural air...I don't have any real work done to the motor, I changed the intake and the exhause, I put Corsa Indy's on it, and a Blackwing airfilter. Most everything else I have done is cosmetic. I'm done with the cosmetic stuff, I want long tube headers. Lingenfelder is arguably the best on the market, though they are expensive. It will run me more than a grand...too many toys, too little money!

well, it looks good! do you live in a state that allows true duals?

 

I didn't know there were states that don't. I will continue to use my x-pipe that I currently have on the car. Hiflow cats will be a later mod, further down the road, but for now, I just need to get the headers.

i dont know where you live...im guessing by your picture somewhere in the mid west to southern west coast? some states, such as cali, NJ,,,PA...have VERY strict emissions laws tat wont allow "exhaust form modification of any kind"

i saw the pics of the vette on a dyno..what did it put out?

 

You guessed right, I'm in Yuma, AZ, the town borders the CA/AZ state line and it also borders Mexico, you literally can't get further south and west and still be in AZ.

The Dyno was taken before I did any mods when I went to Carlile, PA. Bone stock it pull 315 at the rear wheels. My plan is to take it back there and do another pull after I have my headers and see what the improvements are over stock with the intake/headers/exhaust combo. I'm expecting about 25-30 total...but we'll see. The SOP feel is there, so I know there is some improvements already.

wow..carlisle is a LONG haul...what were you doing way up here?

 

I'm in the Marine Corps. I've been stationed on the East Coast most of my career (I'm from MD area originally in my life). When I was in NC, it was an easy one day trip up, stay the weekend, drive back. In the vette its a fun ride...I haven't been the past two years, and I won't make this year or next...however, with a little bit of luck, I'll be back on the east coast in time for August '07.
