Kim, it's more like "Some days you're the butterfly, and some days you're the windshield".

Is this ironic or just what? Where are all the intelligent guys that can give me some good solid advice here? I need help. I'm begging!! Just kidding again....you guys are all Bill Gates equals in my book!

So, is the consensus here that having the original owner of #51 build this #51 as a 69 retro type 427 but with all modern goodies was an idiotic idea that will cost me a cool $50k when all is said and done.

$50 freaking K you say. Remember I went from NA to SC back to NA and have paid dearly for my indecisiveness. Dearly!

Did I mention that the C5R will fit nicely in the 02 Z06?

First, I don't have a purse...it's one of those toney European waist type deals!

Alright, listen to this U-turn. My next door neighbor, who is a high end car broker, shockingly found a buyer for this car at a good price. Shocker! Long story real short....he had the car dynoed, locally, and instead of 620 RWHP the solid roller, C5R 427, 090 heads etc. is putting down 425.

The buyer's tester did not touch the tune. He found 38 degrees of time and a fuel mix ratio and trims that were way out of whack. He thinks the blower cam and measly 9 to one compression are still in the car.

Big problem for idiot/sucker boy now! What the hell will I find next??
