It's pretty slick when I think about it, too...Engineers caution us to hold the car back to under 4000rpms, and 80mph for 1500 miles, varying speeds as much as we can...I'll have just three months to get over that hump before the Fest...which is convenient.

Pete's How I Broke in Motors When I used Marvel Mystery Oil to Coat the Valves

Take your new ZL1 out on a safe open raod and drive for about 30 minutes. Drive with a light foot and work through the gears, gently. Keep the RPM going up and down, gently. After 30 minutes everything is now hot and well lubricated. Let it rip through the gears. Gentle cycle. Nail it again. After a half dozen cyles let her cool and change the oil. You are ready for anything.

And believe me I appreciate the rewards. I may need you to look at my car at the fest and recommend what to do next suspension wise. I am happy with the sways and springs but there is always room for improvment

This was my car the day after I bought it, are you saying this is not how you are supposed to break it in?

And yes, that is the wifey behind the wheel

Horse meat is fit only for dog food, unless I bring mine

Dude...do the rear LCA's and Pedders inner bushes. Then, talk to Pete to find out when you can get the FE4/5 rear sway bar. HOLY SHHHHHHHHhhh!!!!!!

And yeah..radius bushes and sub frame bushes are a MUST!

I need drivers to jump back to the sign up thread and indicate Drag Racing or AutoX or Both!!!!

Thanks, ya'll!!

I have BMR Rear lower control arms already, I might look into the sway bars but I also have eibach sways which aren't the greatest but they work for my driving.

That really just leaves me with front control arms if anyone decides to make them , and bushings.

The BMR lower control arms will not accept the new style ZL1 Zway bar :(

There is no need to replace your front control arms

What diameter is your rear BMR bar?
