MTI has done a awesome job with it and Jayson will be tuning it either tomorrow or Monday.

Matt is saving for some parts right now, but in a month or so it will be Those who thought it hauled *** with the old setup will be amazed.

Tony it is my brothers 99 Corvette. Its getting an MTI LS2 427 with the M1 camshaft (Really a S1 on a diff LSA). The motor is built for a big shot of nitrous. He is hoping to match or atleast get really close to SW's Vettes time.

It has already got a MTI Built 6-speed transmission and a built rearend thanks to the guys over at Icon Autosports. Matt learned what happens when you dump the clutch a 6700 on ET-Streets, stock parts don't like that.

Tranny - 1.. Matt - 0 LOL. Ive never seen a stock transmission blow up on Michellin's before until that day.

Thank the lord Chris E. was able to get my truck and trailer and come save our asses.

I haven't mention this but I'd REALLY like to thank Chris Ehrlich of MTI, he has gone WAY out of his way to finish the car and do everything for it. This kid is amazing with cars if it was not for him my car would have never ran again when I took it apart.
