Yea, my LS3 is pretty fun to drive at stock. I'll probably do some simple stuff, like a ported throttle body and maybe headers\exhaust. But the way it is now and my inexperience driving it has me rethinking my longing for adding a Procharger i-1. 3kgtSL91 build is going to be nasty and I can't imagine driving something like it - I'm sure I'd shit purple twinkies mashing the gas.

That's pretty awesome - thanks for the link!

Quick question for you guys - is there a CAPS/ASA equivalent for the Vette? Did you spring for the Helms Vette service manuals or is there something better? What do you guys use for tuning? HPTuners/EFILive, Diablo, mail order? I'm guessing 3kgtSL91 will be using something more advanced like HPTuner

Damn what a build!

we use alldata and repairlinkshop.com
for tuning mostly hptuners. they are pretty much the best in our eyes and we have tons of experience with it

New stuff:
- 4.5" Bell intercooler core;
- Black anodized Nick Williams throttle body
- Samco radiator hoses.
working on running all the lines now. next will be cooling.

Go hit 200 at the half mile! Dang 1200+, so cool

That is insane.

Nice build! Always fun to see a Z pushing +1,000whp. Are you pretty much done or are you going for more?

p.s. I love the extended spoiler! Katech?
