Wow. I need a vette

What mods have you done to your car? Seems like it is very well setup.
Thanks. I had some really expert guys help me set it up (Richard Strout at Leading Edge Motorsports and Gary Hoffman at HardBar).

Soon I will add a Dewitts racing radiator with integrated oil cooler to this list, but here is what is actually bolted onto the car:

American Racing long tube headers with X-pipe
High flow catalytic converters
Corsa Sport straight thru non-restrictive mufflers
K&N Aircharger
Elite Engineering PCV catch can
Turn One Racing power steering pump
Penske Racing 8300 double adjustable shocks
HyperCoil dual rate springs
HardBar camber & stud kit
Pfadt polyurethane bushings
SKF Racing wheel bearings
CCW Corsair C14 forged wheels
AP Racing/Hardbar 8350 calipers
AP Racing/Hardbar two piece, full floating, 70 vane, J hook racing rotors
Steel brake lines
Quantum Motorsport spindle ducts with C6Z06 inlets
Kirkey Intermediate Road Race Seats
Hardbar harness bar & seat rails
Teamtech Jet Pilot harnesses
Elite Engineering heel-toe pedals
MGW short throw shifter
GM full width racing spoiler
Richard Strout is the one that helped me a lot with my first track car (and driving) in the 90s. I hooked up with him when he started Leading Edge Motorsports.
If anyone needs help with setup, brakes or even driving advice. Richards your man.
I didn't know he was still in the area.
Bert you wouldn't happen to have his email address, website or phone # would you.
BTW Bert if you go to the glen, how about a little bump draft help up the back straight :D

Richard Strout's contact info is at http://www.lemd.com/. He is still in Newfields NH. I'd love going over there and picking his brain for the whole day. He taught me all about how he developed the Penske's for the Corvette from shock length to valving. I learned how to do a four wheel alignment there. He showed me how to use the Jet Pilot Harnesses. He helped me with my seating position. The guy is a racing guru. He is an expert at Corvettes, BMWs, and Porsches.
