So I had the Vette clear bra'd last week right before the Power Tour - went with a different installer this time and they did a really good job.
The PT had an event at Hotchkis Performance East. Lou Santiago was there and I got to meet him - hes pretty cool. The shop they have up there is pretty nice.
We then went to Zmax Dragway in Concord, NC - and saw some cool cars there. Saw Ken's LSA powered Chevelle and Mark Stielow's old project car that he built a year or two ago.
My last day of the Power Tour was driving up to Knoxville TN and got to meet Rutledge Wood again, and also saw Bad Penny - such a cool car.
Here are a few select pics:
Here is my gas Mileage average - not bad for > 500 hp:

This was the first extended road trip for my built up LSx motor in the Vette - the car got over 32 mpg on the highway when I was easy on it.
The car drove fine except for that after driving 500+ miles this weekend - and 5 mins from home the Check Engine Light came on.
The car threw a P0430 code - complaining about the exhaust catalyst being to low efficiency - its weird because it only happens when I'm idling.
Talked it over with friends, the CF, and all said to take it back to the tuner.
So I contacted PCM of NC - and they are going to take a look at it.
Also - the alignment is out of whack on the front end - I took the car to the clear bra shop and the wheel was off a bit - got back in the car after they where done with it and it was really off.
I need to checkout the coilovers on the front/rack to see what's going on.
I just had an alignment done right after I got the engine all back together.
So either the lift needs to go back up - or I get to figure out how to raise the front end of my car with the ZR1 splitters there in the way, ugh!
