Default Re: New ZR-1 Owner

Happy Holidays to all of you. So a little update on what I have done so far or "so it begins":
*had the entire car checked over and Oil chg. at Capital Corvette here in Oly
*paint work to repair chips and cut/buff the car...looks fabulous now
*new rear wheel bearings
*new rear hatch weather strip and shocks, and hood shock
*new tires...Nitto all season
*new oil pressure sending unit
*rebuilt the lumbar inflator units (the bicycle tube method). it really works.
*have sourced and waiting for lumbar bladder assemblies
*also replacing RH lumbar switch assembly
*replaced transparent targa top, which was not with the car..(see earlier post)
*tracked down the "pizza box" (the dealer I bought it from did that for me)

So just validating the idea that when you buy these low mileage cars (11,000) you will still have lots to do to get them right.

The car runs great, and no issues there. Very strong, even compared to the LT4 I had, but now I am at that crossroads where you wonder if you leave it stock for posterity, and drive it sparingly ....or make it a 500hp "wondercar" and not worry about posterity.

Does anyone know a shop in Olympia WA area that could do head and intake porting. Other options might be ship off the heads and intake to someone like Mark H...not sure where to go on that if I decide to go that route.

Any help or advice would be really appreciated.
