I'm not a sticker guy, but I love theirs. I've got the SNL logo on my rear window like a tramp stamp.

x2 although I would highly consider an SNL sticker if they have one that isn't 5in high. I'll have to ask them next week if they have a smaller one since my V is currently sitting up there getting a Monster Lv2 clutch w/ Lightweight Fly and waiting for motor mounts and diff mount.

No Madman rear, as I own a small mortgage company and mods have been light the past two years, lots of thanks to Jamie for keeping me running and finding me bargains. Rear is a Gen II, axles are stock, I have learned how to preserve it by not launching or shifting hard. Next mile event, I will aim for 170+mph and do the following:

1) Take out spare tire and back seat and no passengers allowed
2) Wind out each gear to 7,000-7,200rpm, shifted at 6,300rpm on 162mph run, was in 6th gear at about 3/4 mile mark
3) Hope for decent weather, five runs in Sept 2009 were on 90+ degree day with 100% humidity

I no longer street race, I do highway runs on occasion. The V has stayed closed to Gallardos, TT Porsches, Bentleys and older Ferraris, but sorry no footage. I will have a camera in the car at the next Mile Event.

Here is a run at the mile in case you have not seen it enough times already:

The sticker? I'm sure its good for at least 50rwhp

As for the flywheel......don't quote me on this but I think I was told ~8rwhp

I'll let Brandon post the numbers from his dyno.

Man that looks good! I wonder how long they will use your car on the website? Did they tell you that they were going to use it?

They just updated their site so I assume it will be up there for a while.

Yeah, I sent them a bunch of pics and they picked that one. Gforce also has my car for his CTS-V section. http://www.shop.gforce1320.com/

If I use a product they are more than free to use my car on their site.

That's awesome! Honestly, I think peer reviews are the best way to learn about good companies. I've been looking at talking to Fastlane Performance in Houston, because my buddy knows the owner and they did a really slick V2 custom.
