There are alot of parts that are not pictured. My comment about the Z06 was meaning that the insurance policy i have on it would have payed out that much if they totalled it. so far i’m about $22k into it with another suppliment from the insurance company next week. upgrades include new goodmark cowl hood, custom comp cam, comp push rods, 918 springs, comp ti retainers, crane double timing chain set, ported ls6 oil pump, brand new m122h supercharger, hotchkis sway bars, edelbrock shocks. thats all i can think of at the moment. ---
