Thank you Kurt! That Tahoe is special to me, just feels so solid and nice to be up above the traffic, plus with 440 rwhp it moves for a big rig! Antidote did an awesome job with the speakers, and the think just rocks!

I hear ya brotha, when the zombies come I'll be prepared! We're working on the machine gun turrets now!


Got a chance to make a better video of the car at idle since the new cam. I've been driving the beast for the past couple of days and I don't know what turns more heads, the Tahoe or the ZLX. The speed on the Camaro is simply crazy, breaking wheels up to 4th gear!



Also re-carpeted the trunk area with a nice black plush carpet over the sound deadening Dynomat and it came out damn good, better than the pictures show. Also added my true metal diamond plate mats & you can see the custom paint job on the interior & door panels that were painted gloss black from the backside, thus allowing the light strip around the panel to show through.

I color sanded the car the other day and tomorrow I'll be breaking out the Porter Cable, Adam's car care products & giving her a shine.

Brother, you're so right, the sounds of heaven!!!! I originally thought adding the Supercharger,Kooks LTs & then the OD Cog Drive would be the best mods I could do, then compliment them with everything else, but let me tell you, the custom grind blower Comp Cam takes the cake! The beast has so many sounds coming from it, peoples heads spin. Between the whine of the Cog drive and the deep lope and rocking of the cam, it really does set the car apart from anything on the street. Just sitting at a light idling between 750-800 RPMS and it just rocks back & forth, it almost lulls you to sleep! Now I know what your 68 must feel like, cause when I'm in mine I feel as if I'm transformed back into time.

Bro since it's been home, I haven't peeled my ass from the seat! And when the situation arises I surely put my right foot down! It's amazing how different this car is from the one I bought in October, 2011 and makes the 1 year+ build well worth it, of course I owe it all to Cunningham Motorsports for unleashing the beast within and giving him unlimited power to do whatever he wanted to do, my one requirement was that it's reliable, and Ryne didn't disappoint. I've always realized how important it is to have a great tuner/engine builder and I'm very lucky now to be able to call Ryne a good friend, he's just that kind of guy. There's a few events coming up that I'm going to try to make, one is the Airstrip Attack and Cunningham Motors is one of the sponsors, and he'd like to have a couple of his customers cars there. It's an awesome 2 day event, the first weekend of April. Every kind of Super Car you could imagine from Lambos, Porsches, Vettes, Shelbys to Evos. 30 mph rolling start and then peddle to the floor on a private airstrip. Airstrip Attack So timing may be a little hectic cause I have to fly back east at the end of the month, but I'm trying to figure something out. Plus a local track, Irwindale, is offering some track days coming up, so I definitely want to hit one of them. Of course, I'll keep you posted once I make a decision.

RC, every time I start that beast up and take it for a blast since it's been back home, I know exactly what you mean. It's better than Viagra & the permagrin is so hard to wipe off my face. If that's what you want brother, keep your mind focused on it and you'll soon have your own!

You're killing me lil' Bro! Besides my wife would kill me too, I don't even want to think about how much I've spent between the 2 whips, I may have to But I will say it sure is nice to have a choice of which head turner I want to take out. I still have a few more things planned for both of them, I just got a set of heavy duty towing mirrors with LED turn signals, Recon LED Amber Cab lights, a smoked 3rd brake light, and I'm going to put on a Rolling Big Power black powder coated exhaust system on the Hoe. I'm also going to upgrade the internals on the Mag-Tec rear differential with a different set of gears. Plus I have some custom Z71 Offroad decals that are going on.

Then on the ZLX, we're going to do a prototype on some LED tube lighting around the inside door panels, kind of like the new Benz has. And with 700+ RWHP and upgrading the rear, I want to take every precaution to keep her running great so I'm going to be installing the Mantic 9000 Twin Clutch & the larger Brembo Brake kit.

Plus it comes in this cool metal case!





Then that'll be it as far as performance goes, and I'll finish up with my custom design wrap job.

Things never end over here, but it's getting close!

Oh and one more thing, if you're near a Barnes & Noble bookstore, make sure you pick up the April issue of GM High Tech Performance Mag, you'll see the ZL1 EATR up close!

Hey Kronix! As always your ride is amazing and gratz on the mag. I have a question for you though. Do you think after all the time and work you have put into this car you would ever sell it or do you see yourself keeping it till death do you part? I like to think I'm going to be the old guy still waxing his old 2012 SS in 30 years. What do you think?

Thanks J, appreciate it! The mag was a nice surprise to open up the issue and see my car in it, and it's paid dividends as I've been contacted by 2 others mags to do a feature (If only they paid me LOL!!), but that'll be payment enough, plus it'll always help the resale value Shit bro, I already feel like the old guy waxing his cars Just got done doing the Tahoe and I'm ready for a chiropractic adjustment! You know the more I drive it, it just puts a smile on my face. The way it rocks at idle with the new cam, the whine of the Cog Drive pulleys, it snaps necks everywhere I go as it truly is one of a kind...But like they say, money talks, but I think I'll have it for a while.

That sucks about the syncros bro, something to worry about with high milage. I may be beefing up my diff on the Tahoe soon since I'm heading back east. I found a guy out here in Cali that does awesome 4x4 work & has had race trucks in mags before, so he knows his stuff and I'll be driving the Hoe back cross country, so I want to make sure that's bulletproof also. Speaking of mod list, I just added LED HD Silverado mirrors, Recon Cab lights & a new smoked 3rd brake light to go with the new black tail lights. So keep it up little brotha!! Here's a pic for you! Tomorrow the ZLX gets cleaned I don't know what turns more heads the Hoe or the ZLX??

Yea I figured as much Luke, the SS Brembos are kick ass, and even though they only have 2900 miles on the car, I just want to get this shit done and out of the way. With the power I'm putting down, I want everything to be bulletproof. BTW smoked a Shelby 500 last Saturday like it was a 4 banger, my buddy in the car turned white as he got sucked into his seat!
