Black is the perfect color for 3rd gens.

I like the stock wheels too, but I actually kinda like the base RS wheels a little more than the Z28s. I wish some company would re-make them in 16" and in a lighter material.

I really admire the work that you have done to your car. All of the polishing you have done under the hood helps to complete the engine. I also agree with alot that the factory wheels like yours are really nice compared to some wheels you see out there. To add one more thing, your hood really sets off the overall look of your car, it just seems to belong on it.

looks very nice under the hood.. how much of a power increase have you found over the stock intake (TPI?)

Thanks for the replies guys.......Feels good to finally get her out of the garage.

I installed the 406 and the SuperRam at the same time. So i dont have a comparison between them.

The combination of intake and displacement makes great power from idle to 5500. Feels like there is a blg block under the hood. But without the extra weight.
