Damn. Not even my car and I'm 
for you. I have watched your build over the years and knew it would be a beast. Definitely top of the line quality. Sorry about your predicament. Hope it gets better soon.

Who tuned it? and what did it lay down on the Dyno?
I will definetely pass this on to a few looking to get a Vette right now
Thanks,Matt

Sorry Tom, I think I need to stop looking at this thread.

Easily my all-time favorite build on this forum... bar none. It's a tragedy to hear this is going to someone other than the man (not a shop) who built it.
I'm sorry, Tom.
I'm sorry, Tom.
