Holy shit dude, 2 weeks and she hasn't noticed. Are you making payments or did you pay cash. At some point it will happen, now there is a guy with big balls.

Mine either, she could care less what she drives but I've kept here in very cool stuff to get her around where ever she wants to go. You'd think after 80 cars and trucks she'd realize I'm nuts, haha she knows that for sure.

I don't have a dog in this hunt so more power to Radz. Guess he's getting a 3.0 Whipple. Mark is the one who handles Carb and I haven't spoken to him in a few months. I thought it was getting close to approved but not sure what the hold up is. Is the Whipple Carb approved for Cali? Better be some big numbers difference to swap out and do all that work. Maybe its worth it, just don't know

For sure and I have came home with more cars and trucks then you can imagine, but swapping out 2 cars that almost look alike was a pretty cool move. Everyone should try it, just make sure you get the same color. HeeHee

I believe CARB certification only applies to California... California Air Research Board.

Radz lives in California but doesn't have to have carb checked for several more years if I remember correctly

Hopefully, she has a supercharger.

My SS had red Brembos and a sunroof. The ZL1 doesn’t have either.

She’ll be fine when she finds out. For years, she always asks me if we have enough ammo. I married way outside my pay grade.

I know he does... Radz want's to move to the Whipple 3.0 because it's CARB certified.

I don't know why it has taken so long. I think the Z06 may already been approved, could be wrong about that but I thought I remembered that happening already. The 3.0 Whipple will be a solid competitor to the 2650 and it has similar rotor pack to the Eaton if I remember correctly. If I get my deal worked out on the 2300 I'll just have fun with that. I know that blower very well so should be able to make it haul some ass on E65.

I agree...the Mag 2300 and 2.9 Whipple are still solid superchargers for builds under 850whp.

Either way I think you will be happy moving back to a basic supercharger setup. Mid 10 second street car full weight that drives like stock is plenty of fun for the street. I think you really enjoyed your 2016 when it was at that level. When you pushed and things started to break I could tell a lot of enjoyment was lost with the car. It's easy to go down the rabbit hole.
