I love it. The car drives like stock and for being such a heavy machine, it moves. As I said in other threads, I wanted to get the most power out of the stock parts. This was the first ZL1 Mike @ Rapid Motorsports did and I could not have asked for a better outcome. He is pretty popular with the F-Body crowd. As far as anymore performance mods, I am not planning on it, as I am very content on the way it sits. If I break the stock bottom end, I want to build a 396ci. I am hoping to get to the track on a daily basis in 2016.

You have really put down some great numbers with your build and I wish you a good '16 track season. Keep us posted......

Thanks man. I am hoping too. I haven't raced since 2009. I wanted to get to it this year but with business and a unforeseen accident, I will not be getting there. I was very shocked with the numbers that the car put down. I thought I would be around 720/700. Now I just need the times. You will be happy with dealing with Jeremy @ Fasterproms. Is your heads going to be hand ported or cnc'ed?

That is the way to go. Seems like these engines like that over cnc'ed heads. Are you getting them milled as well?
