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. :thumbsup:

More to follow!

Hey PQ - something tells me Tom Henry Racing is not going to put their name on a product that fails...

Besides, GTA will have time to stomp on it and if something breaks- we'll fix it before the Fest. There is a backup LS3/L99 floating around if someone on here toasts their engine before C5F. ;)

Remember, though, I'm just now after 7 months starting the process of doing warranty voiding stuff to my car.

but making yourself start is the worst part. the first real modification i did to anything on my truck was clearing the headlights. even that seemed scary at the time :yikes: i was like "you mean i have to cut open my headlights & re-seal them with a tube of silicon?!?! :scared0016:"

2 years later, i've drilled holes in my dash, disabled systems with a resistor & e-tape, even dropped in an engine that wasn't "supposed" to be mated to my transmission. :headbang: i'm fixing to redo my CAI (eventually involving some custom ducting) and a few other mods as well. once you start, it won't bother you at all :thumbsup:
then again, i ain't got a warranty to contend with... oh well

Thought I would jump in, no problem with build pics, I will take it as we go. As for the supercharger install, we did a truck program with Joe Gibbs in 2005 and have done multiple installs. We also have built some stroker motors etc in house. My shop is not a normal dealership shop. We are going to do a before and after dyno on the car also to check everything out.
