I'm one of those people who actually like the z06 rims. If they didn't look like chicken legs with the WideBody I would keep them.

Yessir been on here for a little bit. I didn't know you were on here until I read your fog light thread and saw your avatar picture.

Awesome build man. I may have missed it, but I didn't see anything about an upgraded transmission?

I haven't replaced it yet. I'm one of those lucky people that the stock trans has lived. I will be replacing it with a 6060 when the time comes.

Wow that's awesome! I had an 02 Camaro SS about 8 years ago and I broke the stock trans with just bolt ons so I worry about my current Z06 trans. Even though my car is stock, I drive it pretty hard. It's good to hear about people still rolling around with stock transmissions.

Same here TR6060 with C6Z gearing ftw! My current T56 has also been driven hard every now and then. I'm still surprised yours has held up so well.

This is probably the cleanest Z in NM and maybe the SW I have driven it and it is everything you can imagine it's hard to explain the feeling of driving this thing but it's wicked. When it goes into beat mode watch the **** out!!!! It gave me the boost bug and Troy texting me for sale adds every other day didn't help. Love the progress man and love the car homie can't wait to see what it looks lik on the steam rollers and wheels!!!

Shant thanks for the kind words. We have to get your fuel system worked out so you can enjoy your ride. We need to get some video of our cars together also!

Ewwww WEEEE! Just hawt like fire! Is this with the AES 390 too? Great job Cruse Missle

Also, have you heard of folks taking a "filter" out of the blow off valve for more supercharger whistle ear candy?? Enjoy and thanks for an awesome video! Not enough people make a proper vid so the rest of us yet to take certain plunges can get an idea what to expect

You can hear his blower about a block and a half away. My D1 is loud but when his car is next to mine you can't hear it at all.I don't think it can get any louder..

Yessir that is a AES 390 iron block. I use to have a turbosmart on the old setup and I was told to take the filter off if I wanted it louder... I never did it to see. The Tial Q doesn't have a filter and it's just loud all the time. Some people love it some people hate it. I like the sound of the tial and the turbosmart BOV's. If you have your speakers down you can hear the ysi whistle pretty hard from the outside view.

Little update yesterday I checked on my rims and I had 2 weeks left for them to be built. This morning the build sheet says their complete so I'll have to call Keith up and see if we can get these shipped out next week
