Thanks for asking Steve... she runs fantastic! Really woke up the old girl.

Of course with 181k miles and the Fidanza FW the trans sounds like a coffee grinder at idle. Still need a tune. Working on that with Dom shortly (I hope) Raising the idle to 850 should help the trans noise to some degree. It’s amazing the power this car exhibits with the high miles and here at altitude.

Great!! Very happy for you. I'm traveling a lot these days and don't get #473 out as much as I would like. Staying over in Indy this weekend to attend PRI with my son. Started "Crossed Flags Performance" last month with a good friend. Grand opening targeted for May 1st! Will have a big lawn party with good Texas BBQ and all the good stuff with it. 2 acres purchased and in design phase for shop. Hope to buy our Dyno here at PRI this weekend. Probably going with Hub Dyno setup for easy tuning! 100% GM, all generations including our LT-5's. Should be a blast!!

Wow... sounds like a fantastic retirement project. Wish I were closer. Keep us posted on the grand opening, it might be worth a drive to Texas next year! Best of luck.

Yep, I have already been made aware of that difference in measuring, thanks.

My winter project list is pretty much the same as it's been all year this year.. Try not to pile too much stuff on the covered car in the garage.. With several things going on, including doing 90% of the work on a flip house we got, and some medical issues, the poor Z has barely been out of the garage. I maybe put 100 miles on it all year..
