Great looking Z28! Got any times/numbers for it?

By the way, you may want to think about lowering it a bit...my personal opinion is that it's sitting a little high, but it still looks sweet.

the car has new struts and shocks and all new coil springs all around , so its at or just above stock ride hight.

ill have to get u pics of the ttops later, i just covered the car for the night so ill try and get them tomarrow or later if i get off my butt.

and for times im running 16.003 at 83mph. mods are in the sig in the first post. i was running rich and out of tune and spun thru first and second. i need slicks, a posi, 3.73 and some suspention work and i should be good for low 15's high 14's maybe.

You need some heads more than anything else. If you want excellent performance from your stock heads then follow the link at the end of my sig.

thats a sweet car i wonder about your track time though you should be doing alot better.it seems with that 600 carb.

I also took advantage of the nice weather being I live in fords, NJ
I hand scrubbed the engine bay today! it still looks like crap but alot better, I borrowed a friends digital too and took many pics.. i'll post them when she get them on disk for me.

I took out my air tubes, cleaned engine bay, and finished taking out the a/c crap. I love the sun

next time i'm in north plainfield i'll flip on my alarm! lol I hooked up a switch to an alarm horn i found lying around.. you see a red t/a with an alarm going its me haha

I would try to route the power wire for your system out of sight, or put a black wire loom over it so it doesn't stand out so much.

yea i know about the exuast but i might change it to something different (kinda gettin tired of the hooker sound )

actually i plan on relocating the batter to the back tire compartment and after i do that i can cut back on how bigthat wire is (lenght wise). i just gotta get me a welder so i can do some rust repair back there.
