Marc Haibeck just finished my 415. Should be back home this Tuesday.

Mine was a more conservative build. Stock cams, cats, retained secondary function and stock flywheel.

Other work - coilovers 10% softer than stock, 3.90 rear gear, c-beam plates.

Outstanding! As I noted in another forum, when Dom and I went down for lunch with Marc yesterday, he said your car was out getting the last thing done: an alignment. I am sure you will enjoy your newly rejuvenated ZR-1.A great build. --Bob

I saw your car in his shop at the barbecue. Your engine looked outstanding.

Impressive figures!!! Congrats to you and thanks to Mark for another 4-wheeled fighter jet!

Awesome! How did you get your car to him and back?

[CamP]

Torque monster!

Can't wait to see it!

Awesome! How did you get your car to him and back?I used a carrier that Marc suggested. Montway Auto Transport.

I second Montway. Well done and priced with others.

One more day!

I'm a few months out still but share in your excitement. Great gear choice and, while others cast doubt on coilovers, I really enjoy them. Any brake upgrades?

Congrats! Marc does awesome work!

[Subfixer]

Shiney things have arrived.

[Absentninetimes]

Congrats on the car and the numbers. Engine looks amazing too. Selfishly, I'm glad your car is back home. Your open spot at Haibeck's went to my 91.

So...

What do you think?

First real drive today. 60 miles to work.
Ride is more comfortable, 6th gear is now useable.
I find I need to be careful with the loud pedal, tires will light up without really trying.
A bit louder than the original exhaust, but not overbearing. Headers, 3" exhaust, cats, x-pipe, resonators and Varex adjustable mufflers (built in cutouts).
I like it.

I work from home on Fridays, so I drove to work today to celebrate the Corvette anniversary.
Naval Station, Newport, RI.

Congratulations! Strong #s.... how does the extra power feel?

[CamP]

Probably could use a fresh set of drag radials if you don't already have them. I'm very impressed with the Nitto NT555RII. They grip well in a straight line and also handle well in the curves.

[Mystic ZR-1]

Checked it out at Subfixer's house this afternoon!
Looks great, sounds even better!
Can't wait for a demo ride....

[Subfixer]

Finally got the car up in the air to check the exhaust work.
Stainless Works headers, Cats, 3" exhaust, X-pipe, 3" Resonators, 3" Varex mufflers, stock tips.

Me likey!

Saw the car today at Limerock, looked great.

[Subfixer]

Thanks.
Driving impressions:
The car has been transformed. Most of my driving has been at highway speeds. With the 3.90 rear and increased torque, I can easily cruise in 6th gear. 2000 rpm at 75mph. There is enough torque to accelerate from 55mph without downshifting. Cruise control has no problem keeping speed on steeper inclines. After about 400 miles, averaging 19mpg. 1st gear is very useable, especially in traffic. I don't have to slip the clutch as before the gear swap.
Coilovers we're chosen to be 10% softer than stock. Car no longer "skips" across bumpy roads. Very comfortable and stable. The springs lowered the height by about 1". Perfect stance.
Overall. I'm real happy with the end result.

What did it cost for the motor work and putting in 3.90 gears?

[Subfixer]

Prices for the work are on Marc Haibeck's website. I'll just say it was more than I paid for the car.

Yes indeed, worth more than the car--I know! But worth every penny when I had mine. It's where you earn your PermaGrin!--Bob
