Celebrity sighting! At the local Cars and Coffee the hosts of the show Engine Power were walking around enjoying the scene. They are the second TV show hosts I've been able to get a picture with. Great guys also! They stayed and talked for a bit with me and were really cool.

If anybody can help me get them off of their sides, I would appreciate it. I don't know why some pictures don't come in correctly….

Edit: (I gotcha…) lololol… now ya gotta figure out who I is…

Thanks and that works for me! BTW, what did you do to get it to rotate?

Tajefe Couple · 10-16-2022, 01:30 AM

Just opened it on my desktop and rotated the pic and downloaded it.
Really like that ABM color and yours looks extremely sharp!

Interesting. Darn android phone.

Thanks for the compliments! I've tried to keep the car looking as if it could have come that way from GM. It does have the factory ground effects package, but the spoiler is a ZTA which I think the ZL1 spoilers were modeled after and the color matched side side markers with LEDs are subtle, but make a huge impact. The chrome gill inserts just add a little extra IMO.

Well I FINALLY put the car on the dyno for the first time in years and the first time since my cam install. I was a little disappointed to have not made higher numbers, but I had just driven an hour to get to the dyno and I still had my engine covers on so I think heat soak may have been a contributing factor. Even then, I was pleasantly surprised to see that my Noweeds Diverters picked up at least 15rwhp. I always thought they were only there for fun, but turns out they boosted power too.

I wonder what the car would do more cooled off, no engine covers, and on a dyno that isn't notorious for being a little stingy on numbers. Perhaps one day I can get it back on the original dyno that I ran on when I got my first numbers to get a more comparable comparison.

Thanks for fixing my picture of Pat and Frankie. These two dudes are pretty awesome! That local Cars & Coffee has them as regulars, Mike Wolfe of American Pickers hosts the Cars & Coffee, and I've seen Kevin Tetz formerly cohost of Trucks at the show. I'm just waiting for more Powerblock hosts to show up and get pictures with my Camaro.

pyroguy · 04-08-2023, 04:07 PM

Woohoo!! Next mod ordered today!!

It's been something on my list for a while and I finally just pulled the trigger. Now to find the time to do the install with new baby coming in a few weeks...

pyroguy · 05-20-2023, 08:45 PM

Woohoo! FINALLY finished the install!

Obviously, I now have color changing halos! What a P.I.T.A. to get those darn headlights open! Now that they're installed, they look really good and are very bright, in a good way. The best part is that it isn't just a RGB color light like some, they have a white channel so that the halos can still have a stock white halo in addition to any choice of color. If you have ever thought about doing this, I recommend Diode Dynamics for your option.
