Build Pics.



Fresh from the factory tucked away in Tom's garage.





My car came with the very rare 1FLA option....








Which includes the snow drift location beacon...





Oh boy... Scott and Tom "testing" my car...






Supercharger and ARH exhaust install. Great Job Tony!









Final Dyno Numbers From Tom Henry





And finally picking up THR 22. Thanks again, to Tom, Fbod, Number 3, Pete, Speedster, Tag, MrC, Dragon, Cyn, Blade, Zebra, Mlee, 68, Shno and especially PQ for keeping me "occupied" while I waited.







First pic back home in FL.






First Mod. Airaid asked me to modify and test fit an intake on the maggie.





TechAFX heater hose relocation kit. Hard to see in this pic. The heater hoses that normally run over the top of the passenger side valve cover are now routed below the passenger side heads, above the headers.






First Cosmetic Mod. Color matched antenna from BeckyD@rodgers.





Personalized Plate





Heritage Grille, again from Becky.





Mike Norris Catch Can.

Well guys.

My plans changed.. Even though we are relatively certain that the Z28 will be here eventually, I can't wait any longer.

I've decided that Tom Henry has the best setup for me. I've updated my OP with the information on my build. His new Supercharged THR cars have everything I wanted with one stop shopping.

I'll post all the updates here as things progress.

I even changed my color.. Order number is in hand, now just waiting on the car. Tom has been awesome to work with.

More to follow!

The anticipation and careful (OK, some impulse) planning have paid off. GTA's car will be a screamer and look good too !!

Late to the party but quick to jump on the mods.

Just think, yours will be shinier than most of ours.

Mines gonna have about 30k by then.

Well Tom's setup on these cars is tough to argue with... And he kinda pushed me while I was trying to jump off that cliff...
