Hi, the first thing that I would do is move this over to the ZR1 section. If all you want to do is check your AFR then any dyno with a sniffer will do. I've always heard good things about Andy. He owns A&A Corvette out your way but, I'd bet dimes to dollars that he's not going to tune it. I'm not sure if Jeff (PNWZR1) is tuning cars or not. What I do know, is if he says he can, then he can. He's done some other things for my car and I wouldn't hesitate to recomend him.

Brad Chichester. I did get your email, but when i looked at who it was from, the name on the account was Brad Taylor. Did you get Brads email account when you got the car from his sister when you bought the car?

As you can see, I've been getting emails from you for quite some time.

So which is it. Did you buy the car from this David Bays fellow or from your sisters friend as mentioned in this previous post.

I assume you got his phone number to since you sent it to another forum member and it matches the number I have for Brad Taylor.

Interesting looking at your profile too. Says you own 2 ZR-1's. Man you move fast in buying these cars.








Brad, just give it up. Several other members have PM'd me on the registry forum as well as CF where you have returned as terrysvette.

So Brad, when you bought the car, did the stories come along with the car?

So I pull off and open up the clam and a wire is stopping it . So i fix that and am just dropping the clam and ihear this roar go by . I spin around and its that Pantera that everyone talks about. so off i go about 2 miles ahead I catch up ,he seem to slow thinking i am a chp maybe so i shift into 4th blast by ,hopefully letting him knowthat I wanta play, so I slow shift into 4 th . the first ime i kinda jump the gun . but i notice he doesnt gain on me I slow again and this time he hits it first but low and behold by the top of 4th I am 2 cars ahead and going strong .i hit 120 and slow .he pulls up next to me and we go again with the same result . then he slows to 30 and off we go . till 55 we are evn i hear him shift and he falls a car back and by 120 i am 3-4 cars ahead well i slow wxpecting him to motion me to pull over but he just zooms by. well i get home an hr later and have 15 messages on my machine from buddies in bishop telling me about this guy complaing that I jumped him.but that I had a fast car . so we set up a 1/4 mile race last night . thank god for small towns with not enough cops . we raced twice (with about 50on lookers) well he got e out of the gate but i pulled by him hard and by the end of the 1/4 got him by 2 cars both times . i had my Gtech hooked up times were 12.18 @118.79 and 112.75 @119.62 A4000et eelevation . the group of car guys there pronounced me king of ownes valley. kinda strange feeling as its been a hard week getting banned from the forum by a person who bald faced lied about me . god sure is an interesting guy how did he know this was just what I needed to bring e out of the doldroms even if it was a tad illegal. Man i love these cars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Brad/Jon/Willie Mac/Terry You have wasted my time on three different occasions about LT5 work. Each time nothing has ever come through. I'm done. No more help, no parts, no porting work... nothing. All I expect in return is to leave me and the PNWZR1 name alone.
