A fine looking Z for that price. And your mods so far are well done.

As of now, it has the B&B Bullet catback. I do have a few parts awaiting to go on though.
I've got a GMS cold air intake and upgraded bridge along with a custom comp cam, patriot gold dual valve springs, new timing chain and some C6 Z06 shocks for when I lower it.
Looking to get about 475-480 rwhp.
Chassis has 160K on it now. Engine was replaced a few years back when it dropped a valve (known problem for the 01's) Dealership replaced it with a brand new GM Performance crate engine. It's the revision LS6 from the 2004 model Z06.
