I think everything about that car is great, except for the 4X4 ride height. Drop that thing down an inch or 6 and get back to us.

Thats true. It hasn't been aligned so I'm hoping its just way out of wack for all the suspension parts done. It does need to be dropped though I agree.

Exactly as-is $65,000 with supplied F-body. It's more of a showcase of what we can do. If you want just the engine, or maybe our budget sleeved LS2 427 coming out soon we can do that also.

JASON, something is wrong with my browser and I can't see but the top half of the t.b. picture, is that a cable operated t.b.? If it is did you have any tuning issues with the way the blade opens? Oh by the way that thing is freaking SWEET!!!!! I was having a pretty shitty day, it just got much better!!!!
