So I uh...did a thing

[Fueling Around]

Another .. how long for the shop to complete the update?
Not trying to be doggy downer. I'm excited for you, but these things take time if everything isn't in place.
I used to be in diesel performance. My big job was done in 2 days.

I spoke with the local shop yesterday and he said about 7-10 days. So the car will be done by the end of the first week of August or early the next week.

Your RFG (right foot governor) is getting itchy? Awesome ride when completed.

I have a tracking number finally. That Brown Truck Santa is bringing presents on Monday or Tuesday.

Brown Truck Santa

Never heard that one before, love it!

I took the car out for a short drive this evening and I really ripped into it. I ventured into turning the traction control off on the return leg. Holy s***! That was exhilarating. And it's just stock. I saw a little bit of white/grey smoke from the tires and when I hit 2nd it threw me back into the seat.

What a thrill this car is.

I can't even IMAGINE in my mind what it's going to be like once the heads, cam, intake and throttle body are installed and everything is tuned and dyno'd.

Obligatory picture after the drive.

The heads are here. Everything is ready. The shop day is scheduled for August 10th.

Now is the hardest part?
Wheels go away and the garage stall is empty.
In frame builds are fun. (not really)
Take a lot of photos around the hood and fender area. So easy to damage the body from something as simple as leaning in to work in the engine compartment.
Excited for you. I love performance projects.

Good looking heads! Just curious, what is your expected hp/tq gains? I'd ask you to come down my way so I could have a little test drive, but there is no way I'd take that beauty off of pavement to get to the house.

Stock hp right now is 505 at the flywheel. So maybe 430-450 hp at the rear wheels. The C6 Z06 has a driveline loss of about 11 to 15%.

The heads, cam, intake and throttle body should see gains of around 130 rwhp, give or take.
