This car will mop up the floor with the Z06!

CAR: $42k Out the door.

In Order of Mod Bug biting:

Apperance Mods: $50 (chrome Gills)

Exhaust/CAI: $2300 (CAI CAI with Scoop, Kooks Stepped Headers Coated, American Thunder Cat back, SCT Tuner)

Suspension Mods + install: $4000 (Solid Subframe bushings, front and rear sways, toe rods, trailing arms, differential bushings, solid engine mounts, strut tower brace)

Supercharger Prep: $350 (Strong MAF and ZL1 Fuel Pump)

Drag Radials: $1200 (Nitto NTO-5R on Replica Wheels)

Supercharger: $8k (Edelbrock Eforce for L99, Rotofab CAI, ZL1 Spark Plugs and wires, JRE Fuel Rail Upgrade, dyno tune)

The supercharger is still sitting in my garage and not on the car, BTW. So I decided that it's stupid to do the SC and not do a VVT/AFM delete. (Mod bug bites again!)

AFM/VVT Delete + Cam: $900 (LS9 Cam and Springs, AFM/VVT Delete from LPE)

Hold on, let me bust out the calculator...

Ok. Im back.

$59.2k

Not bad I guess. Jeesh! And I'm already looking at a 376 LSX, rear axles and a transmission cooler. Does it ever stop?!

Truely the hardest part of the build!

The wondering if the FedEx guy is delivering your new parts or her new shoes is an aquired behavior

Yes indeed - I had to add the cost of new living room furniture - part of the "keep a happy house" hidden charge that came with my build!

Dude, my car is setup for the road course. That is where it shines....Pedders Justice road course setup and Pedders Camaro wheel/tire setup. do a search. I dont get off on going in a straight line sts. YMMV Check out the times the Pedders Camaro ran at Gingerman raceway. I have the better supercar coilovers and almost 200 more HP than the Pedders Camaro when they were doing the testing.
