what have they changed with the vette to pick up the extra 35hp?

I've been debating doing a headerback intake and tune on a z51.

my believe my friends trapping 119-120 with those mods on pump gas and makes almost 30mpg city

Cheers!

You guys know how to party. I wish I could take part in that airshow every year. (I might get myself into some trouble... the ladies were niiiice)

Yep. I like to ride. Did any of you guys go to the last airshow? I was flying in during the "Marine invasion" each day. Each night we partied with the locals till... well late. The night life and the women that are there were incredible... it's one of the best I've ever seen in this country. Truly unbelievable.
